Moisture:
A Serious Challenge
Facing You and Your Pigs.
Not All Binders Are Created Equal.
Molds and moisture are forces that continually challenge feed manufacturers and swine producers alike.
Feed grains are ideally stored with moisture concentrations of less than 13% to help “compensate for non-uniform moisture concentrations throughout the grain mass.”* When feed is stored at a high moisture level, it is more susceptible to mold contamination. Mold growth may lead to mycotoxin formation during feed manufacturing, storage, delivery and feeding of the pigs.

Successfully Manage
Your Feed.
Vector nutritional specialty product is a specialized clay adsorbent containing hydrated sodium and calcium aluminosilicates that reduces caking and flowability issues by binding moisture present in feed. Binders lower moisture in feed, reducing the potential for mold growth —and lowering mold growth in feed improves its quality. This is important when you consider that some molds can produce a wide range of harmful mycotoxins.
