Congratulations to Dr. Kittiwut Kasemwong a researcher at NANOTEC Nano Delivery System Lab and Dr. Kitti Supchukun, Managing Director of KLEAN Greentech Co.,Ltd whose joint research on “Zeta-Technology” a mycotoxin binding for animal feed (pork, poultry, and fish) received the Silver Prize Award at the recent Seoul International Invention Fair (SIIF) 2014 in Korea. In addition, the innovation also received a Special Award from the Association of Polish Inventors and Rationalizers a concurrent event under the name of International Warsaw Invention Show (IWIS).
Zetatechnology employs nanotechnology in selecting various types of nanoclay particles and transform their structure into nanocomposite. The processes helps promote reinforce action, enabling the products to effectively absorb all types of mycotoxin that pose problems in livestock production.
The economic and social benefits of mycotoxin binder which is used for absorbing contaminants in animal feed ingredient can help minimize farmers’ losses in the livestock production. Thailand’s annual import of mycotoxin binder products stand at around Baht 1.4 billion and this innovation will greatly help to reduce import.
