Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed on the safety of Zeolite (sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic) for the reduction of risk of milk fever in dairy cows
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The use of doses higher than 500 g of Zeolite leads to a dramatic depression of feed intake. Even the effective dose reduces feed intake and induces hypophosphataemia; however, these effects are considered transient. Zeolite may reduce serum Mg but this is without physiological significance. Serum levels of copper and zinc as well as milk yield and composition are not affected by Zeolite treatment.
