What is Mycosorb A+ Equine?
Mycosorb A+ Equine is a mycotoxin binder from Alltech, made for daily inclusion in your horse’s feed.
It combines the inner cell wall of a specific strain of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), rich in glucans, with algae and bentonite clay.
Mycotoxins are produced naturally by moulds, and they can be present in pasture grass, hay and haylage.
Variable weather during harvesting makes this an ongoing challenge, as forage can carry many different moulds, some of which produce a range of mycotoxins with damaging effects.
Mycosorb A+ Equine contributes to the control of mycotoxins in the diet, helps manage their impact, and supports immune function.
How does Mycosorb A+ Equine work?
Mycosorb A+ Equine offers superior binding capabilities, a broader adsorption profile and increased efficacy.
It binds mycotoxins in the digestive tract, reducing mycotoxin absorption within the horse and the risk factors associated with the damaging effects of mycotoxins on health. The bound mycotoxins then pass out in the manure.
What does the research show?
Published equine research shows that Mycosorb may aid horses during dietary exposure to naturally occurring Fusarium mycotoxins, and may support a normal metabolic response during Fusarium mycotoxin challenge.*
Mycosorb A+ Equine also provides nutritional support as part of a proactive mycotoxin management programme.

Can I feed it with other feeds and supplements?
Yes. Mycosorb A+ Equine can be fed alongside your horse’s balancer, bucket feed and other supplements.
