Feed Binder
Small amounts of bentonite can be added to feed products to insure tougher, more durable pellets. The bentonite absorbs excess moisture and oils, while aiding in the free movement of pellets by preventing lumping and caking.
Some research shows that bentonite provides additional benefits for both animals and poultry by slowing the digestive system which enables the animal or fowl to better utilize the feed nutrients. Other studies show bentonite as useful in the control of certain toxins which affect animals and fowl.
