The role and efficacy of yeast feeding sheep

The role and efficacy of yeast feeding sheep

1、 The nutritional components and functions of yeast

      Yeast is a nutrient rich microorganism mainly composed of various nutrients such as protein, vitamins, nucleic acid, enzymes, and amino acids. In animal husbandry, yeast is mainly used to improve feed utilization and promote the growth and development of livestock and poultry.

Specifically, the impact of yeast on livestock and poultry mainly includes the following aspects:

      1. Promote the digestion and absorption of feed: Yeast contains certain enzymes that can decompose complex carbohydrates and proteins in feed, making it easier to digest and absorb.

      2. Improve immunity: The polysaccharide and cell wall components in yeast have a certain immune regulation effect, which can enhance the immunity of livestock and poultry and reduce the incidence rate.

      3. Improving meat quality: Yeast contains various amino acids and nucleic acid substances, which can improve the meat quality of livestock and poultry, increase the protein content and nutritional value of meat.

2、 The efficacy and precautions of yeast feeding sheep

      1. Improve the immunity of sheep: yeast feeding can improve the immunity of sheep and reduce the incidence rate of diseases. Feeding yeast can increase immunoglobulin, leukocyte and other immune indicators in sheep, and also has a certain preventive effect on some infectious diseases.

      2. Promoting the growth and development of sheep: Yeast feeding can promote the growth and development of sheep, increase weight and muscle mass. The polysaccharides and cell wall components in yeast can stimulate the gastrointestinal development of sheep, improve the digestion and absorption of feed, and thus increase growth rate.

      3. Improving the meat quality of sheep: Yeast feeding can improve the meat quality of sheep, increase the protein content and nutritional value of the meat. In addition, the vitamin B group and amino acids in yeast can also promote rapid muscle growth and development.

It should be noted that during the feeding process, the amount of yeast should be reasonably matched based on factors such as the age and weight of the sheep. At the same time, yeast should be cleaned up promptly after eating to avoid diarrhea and indigestion in sheep caused by overfeeding. In addition, yeast is not omnipotent. If other factors are not taken into account during the feeding process, relying solely on yeast feed may bring certain risks.

3、 The method of feeding sheep with yeast

Yeast generally appears in powder or granular form and can be added to daily feed. In the specific feeding process, the following points should be noted:

      1. Choose the appropriate yeast: Different types of yeast have different nutritional components, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate yeast variety based on the breed and feeding needs of sheep.

      2. Reasonable dosage: Generally speaking, the daily yeast dosage for each sheep is between 2-5 grams, and the specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to factors such as the sheep's age, feeding conditions, and purpose.

      3. Uniform mixing: Mix yeast powder evenly in daily feed and mix well before feeding.
