Application value of attapulgite in agriculture

Attapulgite is an important scarcity non-metallic mineral resources in the growing social environment, attapulgite powder mill can be deep processed, widely used in machinery, chemicals, agriculture, animal husbandry, building materials, petroleum, metallurgy, food and other areas, called as the "King of the soil" in the world. Attapulgite clay has unique properties of adsorption, decolorization, suspension, thixotropy, filling, rheology, thermal stability and salt resistance. With these advantages, attapulgite has a far-reaching application and influence in agriculture.3

1. Rise the utilization ratio of corn-soybean meal-based diets

Corn-soybean meal diet is widely used in livestock and poultry industry in China, but its utilization rate is limited by the anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitor, saponin and NSP. At present, the method of improving the digestion and utilization rate is to add the enzyme preparation in the diet, the mineral elements in the attapulgite.

2. Improve the utilization of cotton, rapeseed meal performance

Attapulgite has a protective effect on the intestinal mucosa, a significant improvement in the mucosal lesions of the digestive tract. The attapulgite can be added to the feed as an additive to reduce or eliminate the toxicity of antinutritional factors and increase the utilization of cottonseed meal in animal diets.

3. As an antibacterial agent, enhance animal health

Attapulgite has a porous structure and a huge surface area, is a natural nano-materials, have a strong adsorption capacity for some pathogens and toxins. Attapulgite can be used as an antibacterial agent in killing intestinal pathogens and adsorb toxins, to provide a good micro-ecological environment for the growth of animals.

4. As an adsorbent, improve the environment for livestock and poultry growth

Attapulgite can adsorb large amounts of gas, inhibit ammonia volatilization, and can absorb large amounts of water, slow down the decomposition rate of organic matter, can be used as desiccant and adsorbent, improve the environment for livestock and poultry, promote animal growth and improve animal welfare.
