Use of tall oil fatty acid in binding toxins
The present invention relates to use of a tall oil fatty acid and/or a tall oil fatty acid which is modified by saponification in binding toxins.
1. A method of binding toxins comprising:
administering tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids or tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids to an animal; and
allowing the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids to bind with toxins during passage through the alimentary canal.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:
administering the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids modified by saponification to the animal.
3. A method according to claim 1 comprising:
administering the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids to the animal.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the toxin is mycotoxin.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 2-9% (w/w) resin acids.
6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprises 5-9% (w/w) resin acids.
7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid which is modified by saponification comprises 91-98% (w/w) fatty acids.
8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification is dried.
9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids or the tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids is administered to an animal together with the feed composition.
10. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids or tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids binds with the toxins in all compartments of the digestive tract.
11. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the tall oil fatty acid comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids or tall oil fatty acid modified by saponification comprising 1-10% (w/w) resin acids inhibits the toxins from getting absorbed by the animal.
