On April 30, 2026, the industry focused on five major clay mineral raw materials including montmorillonite, bentonite, attapulgite, zeolite powder and maifan stone, explaining their application value in the feed field. Montmorillonite has a 2:1 layered structure with excellent mycotoxin adsorption capacity. Bentonite, mainly composed of montmorillonite, has good adhesion and helps feed granulation. Attapulgite features a layered-chain fibrous rod structure with broad-spectrum adsorption and no expansion, suitable as a trace element carrier. Zeolite powder, a three-dimensional framework molecular sieve, has strong cation exchange capacity and is known as the king of ammonia absorption, effectively improving pen environment. Maifan stone contains various trace elements and can be used as a carrier and diluent.
With the properties of adsorption, carrier and bonding, the five materials are widely used in detoxification, granulation and environmental improvement, promoting cost reduction and green development of breeding. The industry suggests local procurement to control costs and precise selection according to characteristics to maximize mineral value, supporting high-quality development of animal husbandry.
