Abstract

With the development of new technologies, sorbents of natural origin are becoming more widely used in animal husbandry. One of the promising rocks is diatomite, large reserves of which are available in the Russian Federation. It is promising as an enterosorbent, litter, powder, for wound treatment, etc.
The article presents the materials of a study on white rats of acute and subchronic toxicity of diatomite of the Kamyshlovskoye deposit. As a result, data were obtained indicating low toxicity of diatomite under conditions of introduction into the stomach (4th class according to GOST 12.1.007). Diatomite has no material and functional accumulation in the conditions of a subchronic experiment.
