Main benefits

Irreversible detoxification of fumonisins by biotransformation
Reduction of the general negative effects of fumonisins on the liver, immune system, gut integrity and general performance
Prevents fumonisin induced problems such as porcine pulmonary edema, predisposition to necrotic enteritis and reduced storage stability of shrimp meat

Reaction of the detoxification of fumonisin B1 by FUMzyme, resulting in its detoxified form

Why do we need an enzyme against fumonisins?

Fumonisins is the second most prevalent group of mycotoxins worldwide. They can interact with other mycotoxins and have synergistic effects that impair health and productivity in farming animals.

Unlike aflatoxins and due to their chemical structure, fumonisins cannot be sufficiently bound by “binders” at the relevant pH along the gastrointestinal tract. The figure below demonstrates the pH dependency of adsorption of fumonisin by different binders on the market:

Introducing FUMzyme® sol, the first-ever water-soluble purified enzyme that can be easily sprayed on extruded feed and effectively degrades fumonisins into non-toxic metabolites.

FUMzyme® sol added to a tap water (1) and mixed (2). The FUMzyme® sol solution is then filled in the tank (3) for the post-pellet liquid spraying (4) and sprayed onto the feed.

In vitro and in vivo efficacy

The detoxifying activity of this revolutionary enzyme was confirmed in in vitro and in vivo experiments. FUMzyme® converts 60 ppm fumonisin B1 into the non-toxic metabolite after just 15 minutes.
