“…N a b u u r s et al [9] showed on a herd level that the mean villus height in diarrhoeic herds was relatively lower On the other hand, the experimental group (leucocytosis on day 42 of the experiment) had comparatively larger intestinal villi that were regular in shape and were covered by continuous epithelium. These morphological results in the small intestine after supplementation of Cp are in accordance with the studies of S u b r a m a n i a m and K i m [23], and also W a w r z y n i a k [29] where dietary zeolite caused morphological changes in the intestinal villi and improved intestinal function in pigs and in female broilers. An increase in the villus height enhances the surface area for nutrient absorption thus it increases nutrient digestibility [23].…”

The Effects of Clinoptilolite Administration on the Appetite, the Consistency of Faeces and the Histology of the Small Intestine in Growing Pigs

Clinoptilolite (Cp) is the most common and suitable natural zeolite type for many commercial and industrial applications. Recent studies have also shown a high potential of clinoptilolite in various medical applications. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of long-term peroral administration of clinoptilolite on appetites, the consistency of faeces, and the histopathology of the intestines of growing pigs. Fourteen Landrace × Large White crossbred pigs of both genders, a few days after weaning (12.95 kg b. w.), were divided into two equal groups. The control group was fed with a basal feed mixture, and the experimental group with a feed mixture supplemented with 2 % of natural zeolite (the commercial preparation “ZeoFeed”). The appetite, clinical state and consistency of the faeces were assessed every day. The blood samples were collected on days 0, 21, and 42 of the experiment. Histological examinations of the intestines from the control and experimental animals were carried out at the end of the experiments. The supplementation of 2 % Cp did not affect neither the appetite nor the clinical state of the pigs. The faecal consistency score in the experimental animals was 18.82 % lower than that of the control piglets. The histopathological evaluations showed protective evidence of the Cp on the intestinal tract wall in the duodenum and jejunum.

“…Despite extensive use of clinoptilolite, the mechanisms underlying the action of Cp in its natural or modified forms are still unclear [7]. For instance, further research is needed to elucidate the direct effects of zeolite on the morphology and physiology of the small intestine [29].…”

The aim of the study was to assess the risk of using an iodophor disinfecting and cleaning agent based on clinoptilolite intended for dry disinfection in the presence of non-ruminants. In a rat model study, a suspension containing 103.3 mg/kg b. w. of the disinfectant (a dose of 0.1 of LD50) was administrated per os for a period of 21 days. Its toxicity was assessed on the basis of liver function tests. The effects of the disinfectant on the histological parameters of the duodenum and jejunum and on the properties of long bones were determined. Although the agent showed no toxicity, at the end of the experiment the experimental animals had lower body weights than the control group animals (P < 0.01). The disinfectant exerted an adverse effect on the histological parameters of the jejunum, reducing the length of the intestinal villi (P < 0.01) and the absorption area (P < 0.05) and increasing the crypt depth (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the presence of clinoptilolite positively influenced the parameters of long bones, increasing their mass (P < 0.001), length (P < 0.001), density (P < 0.01), and ash content (P < 0.01). In the bone metaphysis and epiphysis root, a significant increase was found in the trabecular bone volume (P < 0.001) and the trabecular number (P < 0.05). Bone fracture strength was also increased (P < 0.05) in the experimental animals. The results obtained show that iodophores and clinoptilolite can be used in veterinary practice as components of low-toxic disinfecting and absorbing agents. However, the reduced body mass of the experimental animals suggests the need for further comprehensive tests aimed at determining the amount of the iodophor disinfecting and cleaning agent that does not impair performance parameters.

“…In recent years, there are evidences in the literature that using of zeolite (Clinoptilolite) has encouraging effects on the poultry performance (Basha et al, 2016;Wawrzyniak et al, 2017;Morsy, 2018). Zeolite-natural and modified, because of their specific structure, are excellent adsorbed and thus can diminish the harmful effect of heavy metals.…”

This study conducted to investigate the effects of dietary zeolite on egg production, egg quality and blood constituents of hens under drinking saline well water. 180 hens were randomly divided into six equal groups (30 hens / group). 1 st group (T), hens drank tap water and fed basal diet. The 2 nd group (T1), hens drank tap water and fed diet containing 2 % zeolite. The 3 rd group (T2), hens drank tap water and fed diet containing 4 % zeolite. 4 th group (S), hens drank saline well water and fed basal diet. 5 th group (S1), hens drank saline well water and fed diet containing 2 % zeolite. 6 th group (S2), hens drank saline well water and fed diet containing 4 % zeolite. Red blood cells and hemoglobin were significant lower in the hens of S compared to other treatments. Hens of S group showed significant decrease in total protein, globulin, glucose and total antioxidant capacity concentrations as compared to the hens of T and T2 groups. Alanine transaminase, aspartic transaminase and creatinine were significantly increased in the hens of S group compared to other treatments. Aldosterone hormone was significantly decreased in the hens of S compared to them in T, T1 and T2 groups. Egg weight significantly increased in the hens of S2 compared with hens in T and S groups. Egg number and egg mass were significant increase in the T1, T2 and S2 compared to hens in T, S and S1 groups. Hens of T1, T2 and S2 groups had significantly improved feed conversion compared to hens of S group. Hens of S group had significantly decreased shell thickness compared to other treatments. In conclusion, under drinking saline well water, addition of zeolite to laying hens' diets at levels 4 % might improve productive performance and eggshell quality.
