Abstract: Globally, Cereal grains are a major feed source for poultry, which are likely to be contaminated by different toxins. When provided to birds, those contaminated feeds can cause serious hazards and illness in poultry species. Thus, toxins in the feed must be detoxified to protect birds from major disorders. Recent trends directly focus on using substances that reduce toxin contamination. Regardless of chemical and natural origin, these substances are supplemented to poultry feed to counteract toxins, termed toxin binders. They act by reducing the adsorption of harmful substances from the alimentary canal, which is directly distributed to the bloodstream and target organs causing significant health hazards in poultry, such as mycotoxicosis. This investigation presents current relevancy and knowledge for utilising toxin binders in poultry feed. Recent information on the effects, efficiency, trends and performances associated with applications of toxin binders in the field are discussed in this paper.
