Why Mold Star is the Best Value for Mold Inhibitors
A mold inhibitor is designed to reduce mold and yeast growth in animal feeds. No mold inhibitor will remove toxins already present in feedstuffs, but the prevention of ongoing mold growth will keep new toxins from forming.
Mold Star products are a blend of 2 and 3 carbon organic acids (acetic and propionic respectively) designed to reduce mold growth in animal feeds.
Different molds respond very differently to organic acids, which is why we strongly recommend our blended mold inhibitors over a single acid mold inhibitor.
Propionic acid is very effective against Aspergillus molds which are most typically found in the warmer months. However, fusarium and wild yeast can grow all year long as they flourish best in cooler temperatures. They are much better treated with acetic acid.
Mold Star products are designed as an optimal ratio of these organic acids to provide year round and broad spectrum control of mold growth in animal feeds.
Primary Issues from Molds and Yeasts
Immunosuppression
Dietary Energy
Palatability (DMI)
Amino Acid Loss
Vitamin Loss
Intestinal Malabsorption
Molds are most commonly found in feedstuffs are Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium with many species of each genus, and hundreds of potential toxins.
In addition to these, wild yeast, with several species of the genus Saccharomyces, are commonly found in forages.
If you SEE a mold, it is typically Aspergillus or Penicillium. The others are less likely to be visible.
If TMR is getting hot, the problem is typically wild yeast.
