Feed contaminated with secondary metabolites of microscopic filamentous fungi can cause serious disorders in
farm animals. Promising approach to protect animals against mycotoxin contaminated feed is the usage of
substances binding the mycotoxins and thus reduce the absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and distribution
to blood and target organs. Humic acids (HA) are natural substances that possess many positive effects
connected with animal health protection and supporting the growth during the fattening. HA improve immune
system, increase absorption of minerals and participate in the maintenance of homeostasis, pH, activating
enzymes, vitamins and blood enzyme activity. There is an increasing using of humic substance as a
growth-promoting agent. Positive impact on growing and production parameters after HA addition to broilers feed
were described, however the conclusions are not clear, thus a systematic approach to the efficacy and safety of
compounds used as feed additives for poultry is necessary.
