Zeolite is a mineral of completely natural volcanic origin and formation. Its absorption and adsorption capacity (capacity to retain atoms, ions or molecules on a surface) allows it to store nutrients that can be released later.
Its origin occurred by geological transformation phenomena as a consequence of a reaction of volcanic ashes deposited in lakes and shallow seas, with alkaline waters.
Due to its porous and channeled structure that retains nutrients and its high cation exchange capacity (0.922 - 1.075 mEq/g), it offers diverse applications in the agricultural sector, as feed and fertilizer, and is used in soil improvement, gas separation, odor control and water treatment.
The application of 100% Natural Zeolite is recommended to obtain a solution to this problem in all feed concentrates and mineralized salts, since it reduces the excess of nitrogen that is present in the soil when there is over fertilization with nitrogen. The only purpose of this is that each of the characteristics of Zeolite traps all the Nitrogen excesses, avoiding the negative effects that it could generate in the Cattle. When ZEOLITE is used in pasture fertilization, an excess of Nitrogen is prevented, which comes from the fertilizers and goes directly to the pasture.
