Feed contamination with mycotoxins is one of the major factors contributing in the economic losses of animal production. Various methods have been developed to prevent feed contamination but the best and most widely used method is addition of mycotoxins detoxifiers to the feed. Mycotoxins are the toxins substances produced by moulds and fungi that mainly exist in feeds and field crops such as grass, cereals and maize. Mycotoxins detoxifiers reduce the toxic level in feed by protecting the animals from different health issues like reduced feed intakes and milk yield, scouring, abortions, mastitis, sore hocks.

Popular mycotoxins detoxifiers available in the markets are binders and biotransformers. Binders decrease the affect of mycotoxins in feed to lessen the bioavailability. They easily spread to blood and target organs and helps in reduction of the mycotoxin absorption. The binder decontaminates mycotoxins in the feed by binding them strongly enough to prevent toxic interactions with the consuming animal and to prevent mycotoxin absorption across the digestive tract. The market growth is moving at a good pace and having CARG 3.6 percent globally and constitutes the largest market in the globe. The binders are either of organic carbon based or inorganic silica based. By volume clay binders have grabbed the major chunk of market share. Apart from clay binder, the other mycotoxins detoxifying market is moving in a slow rate comparatively.

Biotransformer is another type or strategy to control the mycotoxin level in feed as it has the ability to degrade the mycotoxins there by increasing safety level of feed consumption. It has the property to preserve the organoleptic and nutritive property of the feed. It transforms bio degradable toxic into nontoxic substances in different oxygen conditions and in complex environment. The different classes of biotransformers are enzymes and yeast which is classifies according to their mode of action. Enzyme market have the major share and in more demand than the yeast market. It is the fastest growing market in the current scenario of detoxifiers.

Due to strict regulations in EU, there is a very high demand of mycotoxins detoxifiers in the feed industry. Because of this, European countries are the major producers followed by Asia-pacific and North America. Asia-pacific is the fastest growing market having lot of potential. The majority of market demand comes from high livestock and diseases outbreak that pave the way in increasing usage of binders. Fluctuation in the price of the agricultural commodity and reducing disease outbreak in animals are some of the additional factors contributing for increasing production of mycotoxic detoxifiers.

As the demand of the meat industry is increasing due to the increasing population of non-vegetarians; there is a huge pressure on the feed industry to supply feed to the livestock industry. All these factors together have a synergetic effect that increases the production of mycotoxin detoxifiers in order to increase the nutritive and safety level of feed. In most of the developed countries market is matured in Europe and North America while other developing countries in Asia-Pacific markets are growing at a higher rate.
