Abstract
A method of binding and inactivating ergot alkaloids from forages is described whereby a combination of a modified yeast cell wall extract and a mineral clay is fed to animals in amounts sufficient to inactivate alkaloids present in the forages. The yeast cell wall extract/clay mixture may be admixed with feeds, incorporated directly into pelleted feeds, or fed directly to animals.
