## Abstract

The present invention relates to use of a tall oil fatty acid and/or a tall oil fatty acid which is modified by saponification in binding toxins.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-9. (canceled)

### Claim 10

A method of binding toxins comprising:
adding tall oil fatty acid or tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to feed or; and
allowing the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to bind with toxins.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the method comprises:
adding the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to the feed.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10 comprising:
adding the tall oil fatty acid to the feed.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the toxin is mycotoxin.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 1-10% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 2-9% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 5-9% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the tall oil fatty acid which is modified by saponification comprises 91-98% (w/w) fatty acids.

### Claim 18 (depends on 10)

A method according to claim 10, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification is dried.

### Claim 19

A method of binding toxins comprising:
administering tall oil fatty acid or tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to an animal; and
allowing the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to bind with toxins.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the method comprises:
administering the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification to the animal.

### Claim 21 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19 comprising:
administering the tall oil fatty acid to the animal.

### Claim 22 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the toxin is mycotoxin.

### Claim 23 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 1-10% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 24 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 2-9% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 25 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 5-9% (w/w) resin acids.

### Claim 26 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the tall oil fatty acid which is modified by saponification comprises 91-98% (w/w) fatty acids.

### Claim 27 (depends on 19)

A method according to claim 19, wherein the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification is dried.
