“…Willis et al (1982) demonstrated considerable differences in the response to zeolites from different geographical locations and it is possible that this may have accounted for the lack of response in these studies. However, in two previous studies from this station, the addition of a wide range of inert clays and fillers at several levels in the diet of broiler chickens failed to produce any improvement in performance of broilers (Waldroup and Ragland, 1977;Sellers et al, 1980).…”

“…Hatieganu et al (1979) reported that the addition of zeolites in the feed of broilers at between 5 and 9% improved growth 9 to 12% and feed utilization by 12%. Willis et al (1982) reported that addition of certain zeolites to broiler rations at 21 days gave significant improvements in body weight gains and feed efficiency. Because previous studies from this station (Waldroup and Ragland, 1977;Sellers et al, 1980) failed to show response from the addition of different types of clays and inert fillers to broiler diets, studies were conducted to examine the possible response to addition of zeolites to the diet of broiler chickens.…”

Two experiments were conducted in which zeolites were added to broiler diets at the 1% level beginning at 21 days of age. In one study, diets with different energy levels were used to determine if an interaction existed between zeolite supplementation and nutrient density. No beneficial effects of zeolite supplementation on body weights were observed in either experiment. There were no statistically significant differences in feed utilization between diets with and without zeolites, and the numerical differences could be accounted for by the addition of 1% inert zeolite.(

“…The results obtained from dietary clinotilolite varies depending on the source (site of mining) of the zeolite and the level of impurities present in the individual sample (Willis et al, 1982). Since natural zeolites are obtained from different mines, their content may vary greatly from one to another which, in turn, could influence performance outcome.…”

Zeolites are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates of alkali and alkaline earth cations which have infinite, three dimensional structure. Among many properties attributed to zeolites, two most characteristics that relates to their effectiveness in animal nutrition are their ability to lose and gain water reversibly and being capable of exchanging selectively a variety of cations in their structure without much major changes of structure. However the effect of zeolites on food intake, weight gain, growth rate, egg production, egg weight, shell thickness and internal egg characteristic are in dispute. While some of the experiments report beneficial effect due to inclusion of zeolite in the diet of birds, others show no changes and yet there are results that indicate the negative effects. Reasons such as level of usage, type of zeolite (natural vs. synthetics) and even within natural ones, the levels of impurities, are to be blamed for discrepancies reported from the experiments. On the other hand there has been evidence that zeolites has beneficial effect on feed efficiency ratio, water consumption, nutrient utilization, manure and litter condition and more importantly on aflatoxicosis.

ПОСТАНОВКА ПРОБЛЕМИ. МЕТА РОБОТИВ сучасних умовах в світі відбувається стрімкий розвиток промисловості, що призводить до погіршення екологічних умов та техногенного навантаження на довкілля. Тому з кожним роком зростає актуальність пошуку екологічних рішень для локалізації та ліквідації забруднень нафтопродуктами, кислотами, лугами та іншими небезпечними речовинами. Існує велика кількість сорбентів, що призначені для зв'язування певних хімічних як органічних, так і неорганічних сполук. Тобто сорбенти -це речовини, що можуть селективно вбирати із навколишнього середовища гази, пари та сполуки. Виходячи з цього, вони широко використовуються не лише в промисловості, а й в тваринництві, рослинництві та медицині. Проте як сорбуючі речовини в основному застосовують синтетичні препарати, які не є екологічно безпечними.
