Utilizing Zeolite for Feed & Bedding
Adding Zeolite to animal feed enhances overall health and growth as it is full of electrolytes, trace minerals and elements needed for optimal growth. Zeolite is an organic, non-toxic, eco-friendly solution for detoxifying the intestinal tract of heavy metals and toxins, nitrogen, and methane, all while improving digestion and optimizing mineral and protein absorption in the intestinal tract.
Our mineral, Clinoptilolite Zeolite, is a unique hydrated sodium aluminosilicate with an open crystalline structure. Its three-dimensional framework of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen atoms creates channels and cages that remain stable even in stomach acid and the digestive tract. Rather than breaking down, zeolite captures contaminants and gases, allowing animals to safely pass them. It also absorbs toxins such as aflatoxins and ochratoxins during digestion. In open environments, zeolite continues to trap ammonia as nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases. Additionally, manure containing zeolite has been shown to mature weeks faster during composting compared to standard manure.
Animal Health
Zeolite is the only naturally occurring mineral with a negative charge, offering numerous health benefits due to its unique chemistry. When added to animal feed, it can reduce the need for dicalcium phosphate by up to 50%. Zeolite effectively absorbs ammonia produced from non-protein nitrogen (NPN), acting as a reservoir and slow-release mechanism for nitrogen. This allows for the safe inclusion of 4 to 6 times more NPN in the diet.
Stalls & Bedding
Zeolite is a highly effective absorbent and desiccant for stalls and bedding. It captures moisture and gases, allowing them to be easily swept away. Additionally, zeolite helps control odors and other gases while supporting beneficial aerobic bacteria and reducing anaerobic digestion. It also absorbs urine and moisture, trapping ammonia and urea as nitrogen.
Environment
Zeolite reduces the time required for manure to compost, while reducing odors and off-gassing. Zeolite improves the structure of soil, allowing it to harbor more microbial life while increasing the water and nutrient capacity. Zeolite reduces noxious odors and gasses during compost by reducing anaerobic activity and absorbing ammonia and hydrogen sulfide.
Utilizing Montmorillonite for Feed
Adding Montmorillonite to animal feed enhances overall health and growth as it is not only full of trace minerals and elements needed for optimal growth. It is an organic, non-toxic, eco-friendly solution for stabilizing the intestinal tract, improving digestion, and optimizing mineral and protein absorption.
APPLICATION
LIVESTOCK
Animal Feed
Dairy Cows/Cattle
Pigs
Studies have shown that mineral supplementation for pigs significantly reduces stress levels and reach maturation level for slaughter at an average of 2 weeks earlier. Pigs were fighting less and after feeding, would return to their areas for a nap. Before mineral supplementation, these pigs would normally fight.
Fish
Chicken
Minerals introduced into daily feed can reduce toxicity and provide a diverse and enriched diet for increased size, better health, reduced outbreaks, and egg production.

High-Purity Zeolite ›
Zeolite is commonly known as the ‘rock sponge’ for holding half its weight in liquid. With its strong Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Zeolite is able to simultaneously absorb heavy metals while locking them away within its ‘cage-like’ molecular structure.
Zeolite has emerged as the smart and natural choice to diminish ammonia toxicity and scouring. It increases nitrogen levels in manures for higher fertilizer values; reduces odor levels in sheds and with a safer, slow release off ammonia from urea; produces lower mortality rates in fowls and limits the moisture levels in organic wastes.
Pacific Minerals Group, LLC (PMG), is currently holding claims to some of the highest-purity clinoptilolite Zeolite mined in the Southwest today.
Is there a question we didn’t answer for you in the FAQ? Please contact us for assistance.
Is zeolite safe for animal consumption?
Pacific Minerals Group Zeolite is approved by the FDA for ingestion by all animals, and is a beneficial dietary mineral.
Is zeolite safe for human consumption?
While natural clinoptilolite zeolite is generally recognized as safe for human ingestion by the FDA, our zeolite is not handled for this purpose. We use industrial-grade zeolite equipment, and we do not prepare our material for human use.
Is zeolite approved for organic use?
Pacific Minerals Group Zeolite is OMRI listed for organic use for multiple applications.

How much does Pacific Minerals Group Zeolite weigh?
Our zeolite, in its milled and granular form, weighs approximately 50 lbs per cubic foot. A super sack of our milled material is generally sold in 1 metric ton (2,200 lbs), and our granular material is sold in one US ton (2,000 lbs).
High-Purity Montmorillonite ›
Montmorillonite clay is very similar in property to Bentonite clay, differing mainly by the mineral composition. It was created millions of years ago from volcanic formations when mineral sea deposits came in contact with the Earth’s surface at incredibly high temperatures. They both are an excellent detoxing agent and used in a variety of industries. Montmorillonite is often used in farming and agriculture as it is an excellent soil conditioner and amendment that is proven to grow better, larger, more nutritious garden produce. It’s not a nitrogen-type fertilizer, Montmorillonite has a nutrient delivery system and buffer for fertilizers and humus. It has also proven to have excellent benefits for livestock growth and production. Furthermore, it is an 100% all natural alternative to the existing methods and practices. The use of Montmorillonite as a livestock feed supplement has been exponentially growing over the last decade. It is perfect for the organic farmer’s needs.
