The science behind GepaSorbex

GepaSorbex went through a controlled trial on 90 fattening young pigs. The results are published in an international peer-reviewed journal — with a DOI you can open right now.

Controlled trial of GepaSorbex on fattening young pigs
Trial design

90 head (Large White × Landrace, Maxter terminal line boar), three groups of 30. Control — basic diet. Group 2 — basic diet + 0.15% commercial analogue adsorbent. Group 3 — basic diet + 0.15% GepaSorbex.

About the feed

Laboratory analysis classified the feed as slightly toxic for aflatoxin B1 (≤0.05 µg/kg), ochratoxins (≤0.1–0.4 µg/kg) and zearalenone (≤0.25 µg/kg).

Many sorbents bind not only mycotoxins but vitamins too. This is a measured effect, not a marketing claim.

In the GepaSorbex group, serum retinol, tocopherol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol remained within the biological reference interval in both periods. In the control group, retinol fell 27.7% below the minimum of the interval.
