“…On the other hand, zeolite is expected to increase the production of epithelial cells in broilers [17] and cause intestinal villus hypertrophy and epithelial cell activity in ducks [6] which could enhance nutritional absorption and digestion. This study agreed with [18][19][20]6,21], but disagreed with some studies finding [22,23,5].…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of zeolite supplementation on performance in broilers. A total of 216 old broilers were used in a fully randomized study for three treatments (three replicates each, n=24 each). The basic diet was provided with T1 control, T2 and T3 control diets with 0.5 and 1% zeolite, respectively. The results showed that birds supplemented with 1.0% zeolite were effective in increasing body weight and weight gain compared to T2 and control treatments. It was found that adding zeolite to the birds’ feed significantly increased feed intake compared to T2 and control treatments. In addition, there was a significant difference between treatments in feed conversion efficiency. In summary, this experiment showed that the use of zeolite as a feed additive for broilers increased body weight, weight gain and feed intake of the broiler, thereby improving the feed.

“…(2016) , who noted that no significant differences on broiler performance were observed among the dietary 0.5% to 1.0% silicon groups. Similarly, Bintas et al. (2014) also reported that a dietary 0.8% silicon-based supplement did not significantly affect the overall body weight gain, feed intake, or feed conversion ratio of broiler chickens.…”

Bone problems have been a key issue that perilously affects broilers' health and welfare, resulting in severe economic loss. The present study was aimed at investigating the influence of dietary rice hull silicon (RHS) on the performance, meat quality, and bone-breaking strength of broilers. One hundred 10-day-old Arbor Acres chicks were used in the study. The birds were divided into 5 groups: one group was kept as the control, and other groups were provided with 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 mg/kg dietary RHS along with their basal diets. Results showed that diets containing various levels of dietary RHS did not adversely affect ( P > 0.05) the body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Drip loss of thigh meat showed a reduced value in the group supplemented with 7.5 mg/kg dietary RHS compared with other groups ( P < 0.05), and the lowest thawing loss was observed in the same group; however, it showed no significant difference among other groups. Similarly, thawing loss of breast meat tended to decrease in the dietary RHS groups and significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group. The shear force of breast meat was higher in all RHS groups, and the highest was in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group ( P < 0.05). Although tibia breaking strength increased significantly ( P < 0.05) in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group ( P < 0.05), but a significant difference in femur breaking strength was not found among groups. In conclusion, dietary RHS can be used as a natural mineral supplement for improving bone-breaking strength and reducing drip and thawing loss of breast and thigh muscles, particularly RHS at a level of 7.5 mg/kg in broiler diets.

“…Furthermore, ZC restored the activity of antioxidant enzymes in murine models intoxicated with fluorides [76]. In chickens receiving daily ZC in food, antioxidant capacity was increased by reducing the free radical content of intestinal nitric oxide and increasing the activity of GSH, catalase and SOD enzymes [77,78,79]. Finally, the TMAZ (similar to PMA-ZC) has shown a particular antioxidant action in murine models of Alzheimer’s disease.…”

Zeolite Clinoptilolite: Therapeutic Virtues of an Ancient Mineral

Zeolites are porous minerals with high absorbency and ion-exchange capacity. Their molecular structure is a dense network of AlO4 and SiO4 that generates cavities where water and other polar molecules or ions are inserted/exchanged. Even though there are several synthetic or natural occurring species of zeolites, the most widespread and studied is the naturally occurring zeolite clinoptilolite (ZC). ZC is an excellent detoxifying, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. As a result, it is been used in many industrial applications ranging from environmental remediation to oral applications/supplementation in vivo in humans as food supplements or medical devices. Moreover, the modification as micronization of ZC (M-ZC) or tribomechanically activated zeolite clinoptilolite (TMAZ) or furthermore as double tribomechanically activated zeolite clinoptilolite (PMA-ZC) allows improving its benefits in preclinical and clinical models. Despite its extensive use, many underlying action mechanisms of ZC in its natural or modified forms are still unclear, especially in humans. The main aim of this review is to shed light on the geochemical aspects and therapeutic potentials of ZC with a vision of endorsing further preclinical and clinical research on zeolites, in specific on the ZC and its modified forms as a potential agent for promoting human brain health and overall well-being.
