Animal use of yeast hydrolysate

Yeast hydrolysate has a wide range of applications and many benefits in animal use. The following is a specific introduction:

Application in animal husbandry

Pig farming

      Piglet stage: The digestive system of piglets is not yet fully developed, and their immune function is also weak. The small peptides, amino acids, and other nutrients in yeast hydrolysate are easy to digest and absorb, providing piglets with the necessary nutrients for rapid growth, promoting the development of intestinal villi, enhancing intestinal digestion and absorption capacity, reducing the probability of diarrhea, and improving the survival rate and growth rate of piglets. Meanwhile, immune active substances such as nucleotides can help enhance the immunity of piglets, strengthen their disease resistance, and enable them to better cope with the invasion of various pathogens.

      During the fattening stage of pigs: Adding yeast hydrolysate can help improve the feed utilization efficiency of fattening pigs, enabling them to more effectively convert ingested nutrients into weight gain, improve fattening efficiency, shorten slaughter time, and to some extent improve the quality of pork, making it more tender and juicy.

Poultry Farming 

      Chick stage: Chicks, like piglets, have immature physiological functions. Yeast hydrolysate can provide rich nutrients, help chicks establish a good intestinal microbiota environment, improve intestinal barrier function, reduce the occurrence of intestinal diseases, promote healthy growth of chicks, and increase the survival rate of chicks.

      Egg laying stage: For laying hens, the use of yeast hydrolysate can increase their egg production rate and improve egg quality, such as making eggshells stronger and yolk colors more vibrant. It can also enhance the stress resistance of laying hens, allowing them to maintain relatively stable egg laying performance in the face of environmental changes, changes in feeding management, and other situations.

      Broiler stage: Helps broiler chickens grow rapidly, increases muscle deposition, improves feed efficiency, and has a positive effect on enhancing their immune system, reducing the risk of disease, and ensuring the economic benefits of broiler farming.

Ruminant animal breeding

      Calve stage: Calves are prone to nutritional stress before and after weaning. Yeast hydrolysate can provide high-quality absorbable protein, vitamins, and other nutrients to help calves smoothly pass the weaning period, promote rumen development, enable them to adapt to solid feed as early as possible, and improve growth performance.

      During the stage of fattening cattle and sheep, the rumen microbiota can be regulated, the rumen fermentation environment can be optimized, the digestibility of nutrients such as crude fiber in feed can be improved, thereby promoting weight gain in fattening cattle and sheep and enhancing breeding efficiency.

Application in aquaculture

      Fish farming: Different types of fish, such as grass carp, crucian carp, sea bass, etc., have significantly accelerated growth rates after feeding on feed containing yeast hydrolysate. This is due to the efficient absorption and utilization of amino acids and small peptides in yeast hydrolysate by the fish body, as well as the enhancement of their immunity and disease resistance in complex water environments, reducing mortality caused by diseases and improving the success rate of farming.

      Shrimp and crab farming: For shrimp and crabs, yeast hydrolysate helps them to molt smoothly, promote growth, and improve their color and meat quality. Moreover, it has a significant effect on maintaining the intestinal health of shrimp and crabs, reducing the occurrence of intestinal inflammation and other problems, and improving the survival rate and breeding yield of shrimp and crabs.

      Shellfish farming: It can provide sufficient nutrition for shellfish, enhance their ability to resist adverse environments, promote their growth and reproduction, and improve the quality and yield of shellfish products.

Usage and precautions

      Addition amount: The amount added to feed varies among different animals and growth stages. 1% -3% can be added to general piglet feed, and 0.5% -1.5% can be added to fattening pig feed; Add about 1% -2% to the feed for chicks, and adjust the feed for laying hens and broiler chickens appropriately; The amount of aquatic animal feed added varies from 0.5% to 2% depending on the type, and should be reasonably determined according to the actual breeding situation and product manual.

      Mixing uniformity: To ensure that yeast hydrolysate is thoroughly and evenly mixed in the feed, multiple mixing operations can be carried out using appropriate mixing equipment to avoid excessive or insufficient feeding by some animals due to uneven mixing, which may affect the effectiveness of use.

      Storage conditions: Due to the hygroscopicity of yeast hydrolysate, it should be sealed and stored in a dry, cool place to prevent clumping, deterioration, and affect its quality and effectiveness.

      In summary, yeast hydrolysate is a valuable functional feed additive in the field of animal husbandry, and its scientific and rational use can effectively improve the production performance and health level of animals.
