Ensuring poultry health and improving its productivity in modern conditions is largely associated with the use of various mycotoxin adsorbents, as the widespread infection of grain feed with moulds increases the risk of mycotoxin exposure and increasingly threatens the safety and quality of animal feed. This led to the analysis of mycotoxin sorbents used in poultry farms to prevent mycotoxicosis in bird. An analysis of mycotoxin sorbents on the market and their use in poultry farms shows that complex preparations are more common. Most of the products presented contain inorganic (mineral) and organic components in various combinations. Almost all of them contain hydrates of sodium and calcium aluminosilicates, which ensures effective binding of mycotoxins by adsorption. Low-component formulations include an additional organic component – hjk organic acids – to improve health, growth, feed digestibility and microbiological safety. Multicomponent formulations also contain other inorganic (natural clays, silicon-containing compounds) and organic ingredients that have a multifaceted effect on the poultry body, such as yeast cell wall preparations (MOS), which have a probiotic effect and play an important role in binding mycotoxins and improving the microenvironment of the animal's digestive tract, brown algae flour, plant extracts (milk thistle extract, in particular) and other biologically active substances (amino acid derivatives, enzymes, essential oils) that mitigate the effects of mycotoxicosis due to hepatoprotective, antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Multicomponent sorbents of mycotoxins are more effective due to their complex effect on the body of poultry. The use of mycotoxin adsorbents in poultry farming, taking into account the analysis of their characteristics, interaction with mycotoxins in the poultry body, and analysis of feed quality, requires research to determine the optimal means and conditions for their use.
