Abstract
A method of removing mycotoxins from animal feeds is described whereby a combination of a modified yeast cell wall extract and a mineral clay is fed to animals in amounts sufficient to inactivate mycotoxins present in the feeds. The yeast cell wall extract/clay mixture may be admixed with feeds, incorporated directly into pelleted feeds, or fed directly to animals.
