Inedia by Biodevas Laboratoires awarded Innov’Space 2020
Inedia, a unique approach of mycotoxins management, raises the tolerance thresholds of animals to mycotoxins by stimulating the degradation metabolism of xenobiotics. Inedia is neither specific to a contaminant nor to a mycotoxin, so it answers to a reality on the farms: the poly-contamination of feed.
Usable in organic farming, Inedia is effective from 250g/mt complete feed for pig, poultry and ruminant species in different situations: doubtful or contaminated raw materials, feed produced on the farm, and in use alone or in addition to mycotoxin binders.
