Struggling to optimize animal nutrition? Autolyzed yeast extract offers science-backed solutions for modern feed formulations.
Autolyzed yeast extract, produced via controlled yeast autolysis, is rich in 18 amino acids, 50% crude protein, and bioactive peptides. These nutrients form the foundation for its multifaceted benefits in animal feed.
Unmatched Palatability
Autolyzed yeast extract’s umami – rich nucleotides, such as inosine monophosphate (IMP), trigger the mammalian taste receptor T1R1/T1R3. Research shows that adding 0.5 – 1% autolyzed yeast extract to piglet feed increases voluntary intake by 12 – 18% (Smith et al., 2023). In aquaculture, Atlantic salmon fed autolyzed yeast extract – supplemented diets exhibit 20% higher feeding frequencies compared to control groups.
Immune – Boosting Power
The β – glucans in autolyzed yeast extract activate macrophages and natural killer cells. A 2022 study on broiler chickens found that a 0.8% autolyzed yeast extract inclusion reduced pathogen colonization by 35% and improved vaccine efficacy. Nucleotides in autolyzed yeast extract also enhance antibody production, fortifying the adaptive immune response.
Gut Health Guardian
Autolyzed yeast extract’s prebiotic oligosaccharides selectively promote Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus growth. In weaned piglets, autolyzed yeast extract supplementation decreases the pH of the gut lumen, creating an environment inhospitable to E. coli. This leads to a 25% reduction in diarrhea incidence (Wang et al., 2024). The presence of glutamine in autolyzed yeast extract also supports intestinal epithelial cell integrity.
Beyond these benefits, autolyzed yeast extract is a sustainable choice, sourced from by – products of the brewing industry. Its inclusion in feed not only improves animal performance but also aligns with circular economy principles.
Elevate your feed quality with autolyzed yeast extract. Backed by research, it’s the smart choice for healthier animals and higher yields.
