BY LI HAN, ANGEL YEAST D
epending on the yeast productivity and R&D advantages, Angel Yeast has developed the yeast derived product YeaSense. YeaSense is a kind of yeast essence that can produce a bacteriostatic
zone, mainly composed of yeast glycoprotein, which is the main functional substance that promotes growth and maintains intestinal health. The yeast derived product has been reported to increase resistance to infections and serve as an immunomodulator. The product exerts antibacterial functions by interfering metabolism and growth of pathogens, and disrupting bacterial cell membranes. It can not only replace AGPs in feed, play a role in promoting growth, but also reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Alternative to AGPs To study the effect of the yeast derived product as an alternative to AGPs, Angel Yeast cooperated with the Institute of Subtropical Agricultural Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct a comparative study in piglets, and the test scale reached 240 weaned piglets. Researchers replaced AGPs (25% quinocetone 200 mg/kg and 4% enduracidin 800 mg/kg of the basal diet) with YeaSense (800mg/kg) in the diet of weaned piglets over a 28 day period. The results confirmed that the supplementation of the yeast derived product, instead of AGPs, could increase growth performance and feed intake (Table 1), improve intestinal health through protecting intestinal morphology and permeability, thereby increasing the absorption of nutrients and growth performance. Moreover, it could reduce
intestinal inflammation response, improve immunity, and decrease diarrhoea rate as compared with AGPs (Figure 1). Taken together, the product is not only a substitute for AGPs, but also a new choice for non-antibiotic management.
