Zeolite in Livestock

Doctoral thesis Author Pourliotis, Konstantinos D., Supervisor: Karatzias, Charilaos, Professor, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Veterinary Medicine. Subject The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of adding clinoptilolite to the feed on the absorption of E.coli on the health and performance of suckling calves. A total of 84 newborn Holstein calves were used; these were examined prior to the start of the experiment and found to be healthy. The animals were divided into three equally sized, homogeneous groups (groups A, B and C). Group C served as the control group, whilst groups A and B ... Read more

Doctoral thesis. Author: Dedousi, Anna S.P.H. Supervisor: Tserveni-Gousi, Angeliki, Prof. Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Geotechnical Sciences, Department of Veterinary Medicine, 2009. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of natural clinoptilolite zeolite on the reproductive characteristics of the ostrich and on the performance of growing birds. To achieve this objective, a total of three consecutive experiments were carried out at two ostrich farms. The aim of the first experiment was to investigate, at farm level, whether the addition of a natural zeolite, clinoptilolite, to the diet of breeding ostriches has any effect on their reproductive ...

Doctoral Thesis THOMA A. KOTSOPOULOU, Graduate in Agricultural Science, Graduate in Civil Engineering, MSc, IKY Scholarship Holder SUPERVISOR: Prof. Gerasimos Martzopoulos This study investigated the effect of adding different quantities of natural zeolite on the anaerobic degradation of pig farm effluent. In particular, the effect of adding zeolite on increasing the energy yield of the effluent (greater quantity of methane, energy yield over a short period of time) was examined. Furthermore, the impact of introducing zeolite on the reduction of solids, volatile solids and BOD5 (environmental factors) was investigated. Two preliminary measurements were carried out, which served as a guide ... Read more

Keratex Zeolite – a dietary supplement for horses New from the experts at Keratex, Zeolite represents a revolution in the way we supplement our horses’ feed. Keratex Zeolite™ is completely new to the equine market; it acts as a 100 per cent natural detox, internally cleansing the horse’s digestive system whilst trapping the maximum amount of nutrients available in standard feeds and supplements for the horse’s benefit. For hundreds of years, this naturally occurring volcanic clay mineral ash known as Zeolite has been described as nature’s best detox. Often regarded as an internal cleansing supplement, zeolite has been used by ... Read more

The Application of Natural Zeolites in Animal Science and Aquaculture F. A. Mumpton and P. H. Fishman 1,2 Summary As agriculturalists step up their efforts to expand crop and animal production, numerous mineral materials are receiving greater attention as soil amendments and as dietary supplements in animal husbandry. The zeolite group of minerals stands out from the rest, and its exciting array of physical and chemical properties promises to contribute to many areas of agriculture and aquaculture over the next decade. Their abundance and availability have aroused considerable interest in research stations across several countries, although the number of publications ... Read more

Zeolites and humankind – N. Lygeros, G. Hatzigeorgiou Zeolites and humankind – N. Lygeros, G. Hatzigeorgiou Natural zeolites are formed when volcanic rocks and layers of ash react with alkaline groundwater. They are microporous, clay-silicate minerals which are commonly used as commercial adsorbents. Natural zeolites can even be used in cases of water and soil contamination following a nuclear accident. Notably, clinoptilolite was used in 1986, by the Russian government to absorb radioactive chemicals and other harmful toxins following the Chernobyl disaster. People showed a 30 per cent reduction in radioactive isotopes following the first application of zeolite. In Great ... Read more

Information on zeolite is essential – N. Lygeros Many politicians need to be informed about zeolite, as they still believe that we are embroiled in legal disputes over its extraction in Northern Evros. Not only are they unaware of the facts, but they are also discussing the matter publicly, and their lack of knowledge of the practical details is glaringly obvious. It is therefore important for them to realise that there are no longer any legal issues and that a technical licence has already been granted. Consequently, the road construction and landscaping studies have already been submitted, and we are ... Read more

zeolite is changing the lives of farmers and livestock breeders: an information session in Komara, Nea Orestiada | Zeolife.gr zeolite is changing the lives of farmers and livestock breeders – information session in Komara, Nea Orestiada As part of our efforts to raise awareness in the region about natural zeolite, our company is organising an information session on Wednesday 21 January at 16:00 in the nursery school hall, in Komara, Nea Orestiada, an information session on the topic: ‘zeolite is changing the lives of farmers and livestock breeders’

Thrace’s zeolite is not a political issue. And if there are any petty politicians and party hacks trying to delay or stop its exploitation in our homeland, they’ll simply get a taste of their own medicine. Because Thrace needs zeolite to bring about change and open up real prospects for the future. We have absolutely no need for ‘colourful’ MPs who have no idea what’s going on and haven’t even been briefed on zeolite because they’re so busy maintaining good neighbourly relations. Having lackeys at local level doesn’t bother us, as it has always been that way throughout our history. ... Read more
