Stance Mycosorb A+

Stance Mycosorb A+

Targeted nutritional support for horses exposed to mycotoxins in pasture, hay and feed.

Stance Mycosorb A+ is a specialised equine feed supplement containing a specific yeast-derived component and algae meal, designed to help manage dietary exposure to certain mycotoxins.

The combination provides targeted binding and adsorption support within the digestive tract, helping reduce the availability of certain undesirable compounds before they can be absorbed.

It can be particularly useful for horses grazing pastures or consuming feeds where mycotoxin exposure may be a concern, especially during warm and humid conditions.

What Are Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring compounds produced by certain fungi and moulds that can contaminate pasture, hay, grains and manufactured feeds.

More than 500 different mycotoxins have been identified, and horses can potentially be exposed to more than one type at the same time.

Mycotoxin risk can vary according to environmental conditions, pasture species, harvesting and feed storage.

In Australia, potential exposure may be associated with grasses and plants including:

• Paspalum
• Ryegrass
• Couch grass
• Certain weeds
• Clover

Warm and humid conditions can increase fungal growth, making mycotoxin management particularly relevant during certain times of the year.

How Does Mycosorb A+ Work?

Mycosorb A+ combines two complementary components.

Specific Yeast-Derived Component
Selected for its ability to interact with certain mycotoxins within the gastrointestinal tract, helping reduce their availability for absorption.

Algae Meal
Provides additional adsorption capacity and complements the yeast-derived component, helping broaden the range of undesirable dietary compounds targeted by the formula.

Together, these ingredients provide targeted dietary mycotoxin management.

When Might Mycotoxin Exposure Be Suspected?

Signs associated with mycotoxin exposure can be extremely variable and are not specific to mycotoxins.

Depending on the toxin and level of exposure, horses may display changes involving:

• Skin or coat condition
• Muscle coordination or stiffness
• Appetite or body condition
• Performance
• Behaviour
• Digestive health
• General wellbeing

Some mycotoxins may also adversely affect normal liver, kidney, reproductive or immune function when exposure is significant.

Because these signs can occur with many unrelated health conditions, suspected mycotoxin toxicity should be investigated by a veterinarian rather than diagnosed from symptoms alone.

Key Benefits

• Provides targeted mycotoxin-binding and adsorption support
• Contains a specific yeast-derived component plus algae meal
• Designed to help manage dietary exposure to certain mycotoxins
• Supports horses exposed to potentially contaminated pasture, hay or feed
• Useful during environmental conditions favourable to fungal growth
• Provides a practical addition to a broader feed and pasture management program

Mycosorb A+ vs Stance Toxin Binder

Mycosorb A+ is the more targeted option, providing specific ingredients designed primarily for dietary mycotoxin management.

Stance Toxin Binder provides broader digestive support and contains a full dose of Mycosorb A+ together with additional ingredients, including:

Actigen® – a yeast-derived prebiotic designed to support a healthy gastrointestinal environment.

PowerStance® – powdered coconut oil providing additional nutritional support for the digestive system, skin and coat.

So, simply:

Mycosorb A+ = targeted mycotoxin support

Stance Toxin Binder = Mycosorb A+ plus additional ingredients for broader digestive and nutritional support

An Important Part of Mycotoxin Management

Stance Mycosorb A+ provides targeted nutritional support for horses where exposure to mycotoxins through pasture, hay or feed is a concern, making it a useful addition to a comprehensive pasture, feed and digestive management program.

Mycotoxin binders do not replace appropriate pasture, hay and feed management. Mouldy, spoiled or suspected contaminated feed should not simply be made safe by adding a binder. Horses displaying neurological signs such as staggers or stringhalt, significant illness, unexplained weight loss, photosensitivity or other persistent symptoms should receive veterinary assessment.
