Mohana Devi Subramaniam and In Ho Kim Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology20156:38 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-015-0037-9 ©  Subramaniam and Kim. 2015 Abstract Clays are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicate molecules composed of alkali and alkaline earth cations along with small amounts of various other elements. The best-known are montmorillonite, smectite, illite, kaolinite, biotite and clinoptilolite. The molecules in these clays are arranged in three-dimensional structures creating internal voids and channels capable of trapping a wide variety of molecules. As a result of this structure, clay minerals are regarded as a simple and effective tool for the prevention of the negative effects of many toxic compounds. Dietary supplementation with clays has been shown ... Read more

Carmen Laurino and Beniamino Palmieri University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena (Italy). Abstract Introduction: zeolites (clinoptilolites) are a family of alluminosilicates and cations clustered to form macro aggregates by small individual cavities. In the medical area they are involved in detoxification mechanisms capturing ions and molecules into their holes. Actually, we classify about 140 types of natural and 150 synthetic zeolites, for specific and selective use. Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite and it is the most widespread compound in the medical market. Objective: this review analyzes the main fields of zeolite utilization. Methods: we searched Pubmed/Medline using the terms ... Read more

When every Greek sees the words ‘Clinoptilolite’ printed on the 25-kilo sacks of zeolite, Country of origin: Greece, they will continue to find it hard to believe, even though the miracle will have come to pass, because it is already being prepared to become a reality. Thus, even those who remain sceptical now, after years of campaigning to promote this strategic issue at a national level. Even the Thracians who did not fight for this cause will feel bad when the first benefits reach their region, since in the battle over zeolite they stood against us, not out of malice, ... Read more

In our strategy, we operate with the resources we have, not with those we would like to have, because that is the reality. We do not operate on the basis of what might be desirable. Amidst all the changes we are witnessing, we must create a stable framework that serves as a point of reference not merely for citizens but for the Greek people as a whole, so that they realise that, ultimately, there is a general course that remains uncompromising. Revolutions are not made by revolutionaries but by revolutionary thinking. A major change that will stand the test of ... Read more

The innovative power of zeolite – N. Lygeros Whilst some of us wonder whether we can change reality through innovation, we now have a tangible example in Giorgos Georgiadis and his company, OLYMPOS S.A. For not only did the two of them believe in a vision for the Greece of the future, but they also took the risk of putting that discovery into practice. And that is where the difference lies. It is one thing to believe, and quite another to remain faithful to the vision of zeolite. The choice of the Kokkalos area, next to Petrota, was made without ... Read more

Author Klisarchi, Apostolia Evangelou Date of publication: 2009 Faculty/Department: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology Supervisor: Dotas, Dimitrios. Abstract To study the yields and characteristics of the carcasses of meat-producing poultry, to whose diets three (3) levels of natural zeolite or one (1) commercial mycotoxin-adsorbing preparation were added, a comparative feeding trial was conducted with a total of 480 Ross-type broilers, from day-old chicks up to 42 days of age. The birds were reared on the floor in a closed poultry house with a controlled environment. Root bark was used as litter. The prescribed programme for ... Read more

Doctoral Thesis Author Karatzia, Maria-Anastasia H., Supervisor: Roubias, Nikolaos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Veterinary Medicine, 2010. Subject An experimental study investigated the effect of adding a natural zeolite, clinoptilolite, to the cattle diet on the prevention of subacute dyspeptic acidosis (UDA). Ten healthy Holstein cows, which were in the dry period and not pregnant, were used. Following the creation of a permanent external fistula in the rumen, the animals were fed for 21 days on a diet that met their maintenance requirements (3 kg of alfalfa hay, 3 kg of wheat straw and 2.5 kg of concentrated feed ...

Postgraduate Thesis – Author: Efthymiu, Maria Konstantinou; Supervisor: Dotas, Dimitrios, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Agriculture, 2010. The aim of this research project was to investigate the effect of adding natural zeolite to the diet on the productive traits and characteristics of eggs laid by laying hens.The experimental group consisted of 96 Isa Brown laying hens, aged 28 weeks and with an average body weight of 1,870 g at the start of the experiment. The hens were housed in cage batteries in a controlled environment and allocated to four dietary treatments (M, Z1, Z2 and Z3), in accordance with ... Read more

As part of our efforts to raise awareness in our region about natural zeolite, our company is organising an information session on Sunday 19 April at 7.30 pm at Cafe Station, in Lepti, Nea Orestiada, an information session on the topic: ‘zeolite is changing the lives of farmers and livestock breeders’ Topics to be discussed: What is zeolite, what properties does it have, what are its applications, how is it used in agriculture, is it compatible with the use of fertilisers, and how is it applied in livestock farming? Is it compatible with organic farming methods? Can it be used ... Read more
