Introduction To Yeast Cell Wall

Yeast cell wall is a green additive rich in various bioactive substances such as β - glucan and mannan (MOS), which has multiple physiological functions such as enhancing immunity, preventing and treating diseases, promoting growth, relieving stress, adsorbing mycotoxins, and supplementing nutrition. It has a wide range of sources and low production costs, and has been applied in animal husbandry such as pigs, poultry, ruminants, and aquaculture.
In recent years, with the transformation of animal husbandry towards intensification, scale, and high density, livestock and poultry breeding are prone to various stress effects, mainly manifested as weakened immunity, susceptibility to diseases, high mortality rates, and affected product quality, which can significantly reduce breeding efficiency. Solving the above problems through feed additives has become a common approach. Research has shown that yeast cell wall is a new type of green feed additive, and its main components have various physiological functions such as promoting growth, enhancing immunity, preventing and treating diseases, relieving stress, adsorbing mycotoxins, and supplementing nutrition for various animals. It has been widely used in pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, and aquatic animals, and has achieved good results.
