Yeast-based ingredients for immune support
Yeast cell wall polysaccharides are a rich source of two active ingredients with immune-supporting properties: beta-glucans and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS).
These products can be added to feed, helping to replace antibiotic growth promoters, improve feed conversion ratios and reduce mortality rates.
Benefits of immune support solutions for animal feed applications
Helps replace antibiotic growth promoters
Growing levels of antibiotic resistance are a real worry for producers. Infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria cause more than 700,000 global deaths a year. However, it’s estimated that they could be responsible for more than 10 million annual deaths by 2050.
Immune support solutions like ours can help halt the spread of antibiotic resistance by offering producers an effective alternative to antibiotic growth promoters.
Improves feed conversion ratios
Adding our immune support ingredients to your feed products helps improve animals' health status and therefore improves feed conversion ratios.
Improves mortality
Animals are a costly investment for farmers – an investment that needs looking after. By building our immune support ingredients into your animal feed, you’re helping your customers protect their investment by guarding against health challenges.
Our expertise will allow you to make feeds that support animal health – and boost your reputation as a reliable animal feed manufacturer.
