核苷酸是 DNA 和 RNA 的构件分子，也是代谢能的载体（即 ATP）。细胞本身可以合成核苷酸，然而，在某些条件下，动物自身的合成能力太低，因此核苷酸被认为是半必需营养素。例如，免疫细胞和胃肠道细胞具有相对较低的核苷酸合成能力。同样，在快速分裂的细胞中（例如在幼年动物中），这种合成能力太低。此外，外源提供的核苷酸降低了细胞的能量需求；因此，动物可以更好地承受压力，对病原体的抵抗力也更强。
Ohly-GO® Nucleo
Ohly-GO® Nucleo is a yeast extract derived from primary cultivated baker’s yeast which contains high levels of readily available nucleotides. It is used in aquaculture and husbandry, as a replacement for antibiotic growth promoters, to improve feed conversion ratios.
Ohly-GO® Nucleo is added at up to 1kg/ton feed.*
Key features and benefits of dietary nucleotides
Improves feed conversion ratio
It’s more important than ever to look for efficiencies in animal productivity; getting more out by putting less in can only be a good thing.
With our expert formulation, dietary nucleotides can help improve feed conversion ratios.
Increases resistance against stress and microbial infections
Everybody wants healthy animals. Stress and disease mean less productive animals and higher animal mortality rates.
But one very simple way to enhance animal health is by using nucleotides, like Ohly-GO® Nucleo, in animal feed.
Improves palatability
Delivered through yeast extracts, our dietary nucleotides enhance the taste of your animal feeds.
It’s thanks to yeast’s natural umami taste that companion animals find their foods more palatable when it’s infused with our yeast-based ingredients. You could use it to mask the taste of medicines or simply to add a meatier character to pet foods. Either way, the enhanced taste stimulates consumption so the our beloved pets will get more of the nucleotides they need.
Soluble in water
Our yeast extracts are water soluble, meaning you don’t have to alter your production processes to incorporate them. They’ll easily fit into your existing processes, helping your customers to support animal growth and productivity.
Consistent product composition
When you buy our dietary nucleotides, you know exactly what you’re getting – time after time.
With almost 200 years of yeast expertise, our company is built upon a commitment to quality and consistency. It’s in the formulations we create, the processes we follow and the rigorous quality control we insist upon. And it’s why we’re accredited by several external standards bodies.
