Application and advantages of beer yeast in poultry farming

      In the current trend of continuous improvement in quality and efficiency in the poultry farming industry, safe, green, and antibiotic free farming have become key words. As a natural microbial resource, Brewer's Yeast is increasingly being used in poultry production by farmers and feed companies due to its rich nutritional components and excellent biological activity. This article will comprehensively analyze the true value of beer yeast in poultry farming from the aspects of nutritional value, health promotion, and production performance improvement.

1、 What is beer yeast? Why is it favored by poultry farming?

      Beer yeast is a byproduct produced during beer fermentation, rich in high-quality protein, various B vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and active ingredients such as β - glucan. These nutrients and functional substances not only supplement nutrition, but also enhance immunity and improve intestinal environment, making them a natural feed additive with both nutrition and function.

2、 The core advantages of beer yeast in poultry farming
1. Rich nutritional supplements to enhance growth rate

      Beer yeast contains about 40% -50% high-quality protein, with a balanced amino acid composition, which is highly compatible with the needs of poultry.
Adding it can bring:

      Faster growth rate

      Better muscle deposition

      Higher daily weight gain (weight gain effect is particularly significant for broiler chickens)

      For poultry in the juvenile stage, it can also play a good role in promoting growth.

2. Strengthen intestinal health and improve feed conversion rate

      β - glucan, mannooligosaccharides (MOS), and active yeast cell walls in beer yeast can:

      Inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestine

      Promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria

      Repair intestinal mucosa

      Improve stool consistency and reduce diarrhea

      Long term use can effectively improve feed conversion rate (FCR) and achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

3. Enhance immunity and improve resistance to disease and stress

      Polysaccharides in yeast cell walls can activate immune cells in poultry and enhance their disease resistance.
The usage effects include:

      Stronger stress resistance (high temperature, herd switching, vaccination, etc.)

      Faster damage recovery

      Enhance the weight and function of immune organs

      It is very helpful for reducing disease risks and minimizing drug use.

4. Improve the quality of meat and eggs and increase economic benefits

      Research and practice have shown that moderate supplementation of beer yeast can:

      Improve the quality of egg shells and egg weight

      Improve egg yolk color and nutritional content

      Improve muscle tenderness and flavor of broiler chickens

      Reduce subcutaneous fat deposition

      Both laying hens and broiler chickens can see a significant improvement in quality.

5. Help reduce the use of antibiotics, in line with the trend of antibiotic free farming

      Beer yeast, as a natural microecological regulator, can improve the health level of poultry from the source, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and help farms gradually reduce their dependence on antibiotics.

This is for:

      Large scale aquaculture

      No resistance certification

      Branded poultry products

      All of them hold significant importance.

3、 Suggestions for the use of beer yeast in actual feeding

      To achieve a more ideal effect, the following addition ratios can be referred to:

      Broiler diet: 0.5% -2%

      Egg chicken diet: 0.5% -1.5%

      Poultry feed: about 1%

      Young chicks: moderately high, up to about 2%

      Suggest making appropriate adjustments based on one's own feed structure, poultry population status, and product type.

4、 How to choose high-quality beer yeast?

      High quality beer yeast generally has the following characteristics:

      Source is legitimate and has undergone inactivation treatment

      High protein content and stable amino acid content

      Clear labeling of effective active substance content

      The color is golden, uniform, and odorless

      Moderate particle size, easy to mix, non clumping

      It is not recommended to choose products that have not been processed, contain alcohol flavor, or have unknown sources.

5、 Summary: Beer yeast is a natural booster for poultry farming

      With the promotion of antibiotic free farming and green production, beer yeast is becoming an indispensable functional additive in poultry feed due to its multiple advantages such as rich nutrition, improved intestinal health, enhanced immunity, and improved quality.
