INTRODUCTION

Montmorillonite are naturally mineral rich clays, formed many millions of years ago under certain geological conditions. It contains a balance of minerals in their natural colloidal form, making it easily assimilated. The minerals present in Montmorillonite enhance the production of enzymes in all living organisms. An average mineral analysis of Montmorillonite by health experts demonstrate it contains no less than 67 minerals, including vital trace minerals.

It is used as a human health food as well as in the fish industry. Recently it has been recognized and utilized by the cosmetic industry and by soil experts, who value it as an exceptionally good agricultural enhancement: crops grow faster, taste better, and are more resistant to disease.

USE IN KOI PONDS

The idea that Montmorillonite clays could be used in the remineralisation of ponds originate in Japan. Natural mud ponds are lined with Montmorillonite to seal them. It was also discovered that feeding small Quantities to koi and occasionally bathing them in it or adding regulated dosages to the pond resulted in wonderful and significant effects on their colour and lustre. Montmorillonite can be easily added to your daily ration of food. This is an excellent idea as it will replicate the koi feeding continuously off minute mineral rich particles on the floor of mud darns.

Many products currently available to koi keepers use low quality bentonite clay which although contains Montmorillonite, may not have the correct percentage mineral content.

In the closed pond environment, clay is becoming widely used for many beneficial reasons, Firstly, as a natural mineral injection into the pond, which replenishes the mineral content of the water, aiding Koi health.

The most obvious benefit to be seen by the Koi keeper is enhanced water clarity, normally evident in 24 hrs.

Skin/scale lustre & colour can show improvement, especially the white base pigmentation if regularly applied to the pond (normally 4-6 weeks).

When used as a food additive, Kusud Klay will result in increases in growth rate. Research has shown that when used at a feed rate of 8% of feed weight, and fed at 3% of body weight, Koi appetite increased by 10% and more importantly, an increase in growth rate of up to 22% was achieved.

There are toxins present in Koi food that comes from fungi. If ingested by Koi, these toxins will affect its immune system resulting in higher susceptibility to diseases. If mixed with Koi feed, Kusuri Klay is able to bind these toxins to its surfaces preventing Koi from digesting them and eventually passing them out as faeces.
