Conserved crops and grains can often contain moulds that produce aflatoxins, highly toxic compounds that threaten herd health and performance by targeting the liver. Aflatoxins are stable and resistant to heat, cold and light, meaning they can withstand normal processing and continue to live in feed.
Novasil Plus offers an effective, proven way to reduce this risk. Acting like a chemical sponge, it binds harmful mycotoxins in the digestive tract, preventing them from entering the bloodstream and damaging organs like the liver.
Your local Agvance Consultant can help you determine the best approach for your herd. Get in touch today to discuss how Novasil Plus can increase the health of your herd.
Mycotoxins, like aflatoxin, are invisible threats in many feeds, and once formed, they can’t be destroyed through normal processing. Even small amounts can hurt animal health, reduce feed intake and affect milk production.
Adding Novasil Plus is a simple, cost-effective way to protect cows from these ongoing risks and maintain performance throughout the year.
Product comes in 25kg bags. Mineral levels can be custom-blended to herd requirements.

Two of these studies directly tested NovaSil Plus or NovasilPlus in lactating dairy cows challenged with aflatoxin-contaminated diets. The review covers NovaSil clay research more broadly across species and should not be treated as a direct Agvance Novasil Plus product trial.
Research on NovaSil Plus calcium montmorillonite clay, NovasilPlus and NovaSil clay as dietary aflatoxin binders, including dairy cow studies using aflatoxin B1-contaminated feed and wider work on aflatoxin enterosorption.
Aflatoxin M1 concentration in milk, aflatoxin transfer from feed to milk, dry matter intake, milk yield, milk composition, milk quality, vitamin A, riboflavin, aflatoxin bioavailability and micronutrient use.
The research supports the use of selected clay-based binders for reducing aflatoxin exposure, especially aflatoxin M1 transfer into milk, but results depend on binder type, inclusion rate, diet, contamination level and management. NovaSil Plus should be used as part of a wider feed quality and mycotoxin risk management plan.
