The remnants of pesticides in livestock feeds have been increased by excessive using of these pesticides so as to meet extreme demands for more feeds. Finding a new strategy for reducing pesticides negative effects is absolutely necessary. Therefore, evaluation of the effects of sodium bentonite on blood parameters, feed digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters in sheep fed diets contami...

A series of sodium bentonite and thiamine were used as raw materials to prepare a new adsorbent – thiamine-modified bentonite. The adsorbent was applied in the pretreatment of pharmaceutical wastewater. The optimum preparation conditions of thiamine-modified bentonite were studied. The experiments showed that the removals of COD (chemical oxygen demand) reached 47.98 % under optimal condition. ...

sodium bentonite can bind to dietary pigment and decreases yolk color scale. sodium bentonite is one of the main parts of formycine® gold, the effect of different levels of formycine® gold and dietary pigment on egg quality, egg yolk color and performance criteria of laying hens from 26 to 34 week of age were studied. one hundred ninety two hy-line hens were divided into 24 groups of 8 birds ea...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of sodium bentonite litter supplement and stoking density on performance and litter quality using a total of 252 broiler chicks in completely randomized design with 6 treatments which were arranged factorially (3×2) and 4 replicates. experimental factors included: stocking density (14; low and 18; high /birds per m2) and three levels of sod...

this experiment was conducted to study the effects of two kinds of sodium and calcium bentonite (nab and cab) on performance, blood biochemical parameters, carcass characteristics and tibia ash of broiler chickens. two hundred and sixty day old broilers of male ross 308 strain were allocated to 5 treatments with four replicatates and 13 broilers in each. the experiment was carried out in a comp...

a study was conducted to determine the efficacy of esterified glucomannan, sodium bentonite and humic acid, in counteracting the toxic effects of aflatoxin in experimentally contaminated diets (254ppbaf) fed to broiler chickens. 7-day-old male broiler chicks of similar weight were randomly assigned to one of the nine dietary treatments with four replicates of 12 chicks each. chicks were grouped...

Sodium bentonite was subjected to the effect of two new homologue series of chlorides (alcoxymethyl) dimethyloctyloamonium chlorides and 3-alcoxymethyl-1-octylimidazole chlorides with the hydrophobic substituents of the same length. Morphology of the obtained modified bentonite was studied under scanning electron microscope [SEM] and the degree of adsorption of the ammonium salts was determined...

Surfactant-modified minerals have been widely used for the sorption of anionic and non-polar organic contaminants. This paper investigates the regeneration of various hexadecyltrimethylammoniun bromide (HDTMA)-modified natural minerals saturated with chromate anions using different solutions for the extraction of chromate that has been sorbed at optimum conditions. The examined minerals include...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cottonseed meal (csm) treated with sodium bentonite (sb) on certain blood components and immune response of laying hens. a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement with 3 levels of sb (0, 10, and 20 g/kg of diet) and 3 levels of csm (0, 100 and 200 g/kg of diet) were used within 9 dietary treatments of 4 replicates each. nine mash diets were fed to ...

Bentonites are widely used for waste repository systems because of their hydrodynamic, surface and chemical-retention properties. MX 80 bentonite (bentonite of Wyoming) contains approximately 85% Na/Ca-montmorillonite and 15% accessory minerals. The dominant presence of Na/Ca-montmorillonite in this clay mineral could cause it to perform exceptionally well as an engineered barrier for a radioac...
