Sepiolite

Sepiolite, also known as seawater clay or lean clay, is a natural mineral that is primarily extracted from sedimentary deposits. It is found in various parts of the world, including Spain and Turkey. This clay is often mined and then processed for various applications, mainly due to its unique absorption properties.

Traditionally, sepiolite is used in agriculture and livestock farming. It is often added to animal feed for animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses. It has the potential to support digestion and can help absorb unwanted substances in the intestines. Additionally, it is sometimes used as bedding in stables and pens to neutralize odors and absorb moisture.

The applications of sepiolite are diverse. For dogs, it can contribute to healthy digestion, while for chickens, it can improve feed intake. In horses, sepiolite can help maintain a clean and dry living environment. The use of sepiolite in animal feed and housing can thus contribute to the well-being of various animal species.
