What is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Feed Additive?
Definition
Feed-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a microbial preparation commonly used as an animal feed additive, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the main component.
Appearance
Usually light yellow to yellowish-brown granules or powder, with uniform color, no caking, mold, or peculiar smell.
Stability
Thermally and chemically stable, able to withstand certain extreme processing conditions such as extrusion, and maintain its activity and efficacy during feed processing and storage.
Solubility
Soluble in water, which allows for better mixing with feed and digestion and absorption by animals.
Core Function 1: Improving Intestinal Microecological Balance
Inhibiting Harmful Bacteria Growth
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can colonize the animal’s intestines, forming a biological barrier that competitively inhibits the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, reducing the occurrence of intestinal diseases.
Promoting Beneficial Bacteria Propagation
It can produce beneficial metabolites such as organic acids and vitamins, providing a favorable growth environment for beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, promoting their reproduction, thereby regulating the balance of intestinal microflora and improving intestinal function.
Core Function 2: Promoting Nutrient Digestion and Absorption
Secreting Digestive Enzymes
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can produce various digestive enzymes such as protease, amylase, and lipase in the animal’s intestines. These “little helpers” can help animals better decompose and digest proteins, starches, and fats in feed, improving the overall utilization rate of feed.
Improving Intestinal Morphology
It can also promote the growth and repair of intestinal mucosal cells, increasing the height and density of intestinal villi, thereby expanding the absorption area of the intestine, allowing animals to absorb nutrients more efficiently, promoting growth, and increasing weight gain.
Core Value: Through the dual mechanisms of “endogenous enzymolysis” and “physical expansion”, it achieves efficient conversion of nutrients, truly realizing “eat more, absorb better, grow faster”.
Application Case: Ruminants (Cattle, Sheep)
Dairy Cows
Increase milk production by3%-8%
Improve milk fat and protein rates, while reducing somatic cell count and the incidence of mastitis.
Beef Cattle
Increase daily weight gain by5%-12%
Decrease feed-to-meat ratio, while improving meat quality and increasing marbling score.
Core Advantages
Nutritionally Rich: Rich in protein, B vitamins, and various minerals, easy to absorb.
Promotes Growth: Can regulate intestinal micro-ecological balance, significantly improving feed conversion rate.
Green and Safe: Derived from natural microorganisms, with no chemical residues, in line with green farming trends.
