The contamination of animal feed with mycotoxins is a threat to the safety of feed and represents a worldwide problem for livestock breeding. One of the most effective ways of protecting animals from mycotoxicosis is the use of feed additives with adsorption properties. The research was conducted on the basis of the laboratory of control of feed supplements and premixes of the State Scientific-Research Control Institute of Veterinary Preparations and Feed Additives. In order to carry out researches, a feed additive «Liatoksyl» produced by Ltd. «Sanfort-P» was used. Feed additive «Liatoksyl» is a powder of gray color with a specific odor. The composition of the feed supplement includes zeolite, bentonite, silicon oxide, fumaric acid, citric acid, and succinic acid. Feed supplement «Liatoksyl» belongs to the category of technological additives. The study of the effectiveness of the use of the feed additive Lyatoxil in relation to the ability to inhibit or reduce the absorption of mycotoxins, promote their elimination. Established, the studied feed additive possesses pronounced adsorption properties in relation to T2-toxin and fumonisins. The feed additive in acidic environment (pH 2) adsorbed 185 μg/l of fumonisin from 200 μg/l, which is 92.5%. After incubation in a weakly alkaline environment, the concentration of fumonisin in the supernatant was 3 μg / L. The adsorption activity of the feed supplement with respect to the T2 toxin was lower compared to fumonisins. Thus, in acidic environment (pH 2) adsorption was 179 μg/l of T2-toxin from the introduced 200 μg/l, which is 89.5%.The practical efficiency of the feed supplement when mixed with toxin T2 and fumonisin was mixed, but substantially lower than in screening studies. The practical efficiency of the dietary supplement «Liatoksil» in the screening study for fumonisin was 90.5%, in relation to the T2 toxin – 86.5%. This is evidently due to the fact that the fodder mixtures contain mono- and disaccharides, fatty acids, triglycerides, inorganic salts, etc., which to a certain extent react with the feed additive, reducing its effectiveness against mycotoxin. The practical efficiency of the fodder additive «Liatoksil» when applied to the feed in different doses relative to fumonisin was 70.7–74.1%, in relation to the toxin T2O – 36.1–40.5% The greatest effect was achieved when adding the feed additive «Liatoksil» to the feed in doses of 2–5 g/kg.
