Will the use of beer yeast affect the quality of animal products?

      Beer yeast mainly has a positive impact on the quality of animal products (meat, eggs, milk, aquatic products, etc.), but the direction and degree of this impact depend on the usage method (dosage, product quality), animal species, and growth stage. Its core mechanism of action is to indirectly enhance the nutritional quality, sensory quality, and safety of products by improving animal health status, optimizing nutritional metabolism, and avoiding potential risks that may arise from improper use.啤酒酵母主要对动物产品（肉、蛋、奶、水产品等）的品质产生积极影响，但这种影响的方向和程度取决于使用方法（用量、产品质量）、动物种类和生长阶段。其核心作用机制是通过改善动物健康状况，优化营养代谢，避免使用不当可能产生的潜在风险，间接提高产品的营养品质、感官品质和安全性。

1、 Main positive impact: multidimensional optimization from nutrition to safety1、主要积极影响：从营养到安全的多维优化

      The nutritional characteristics (such as organic selenium, high-quality protein, active substances) and physiological regulatory functions (intestinal health, immune enhancement) of beer yeast will be transmitted to end products through animal "nutrient deposition" and "health status", specifically reflected in the following three aspects:啤酒酵母的营养特性（如有机硒、优质蛋白质、活性物质）和生理调节功能（如肠道健康、增强免疫力）将通过动物的“营养沉积”和“健康状态”传递给最终产品，具体体现在以下三个方面：

1. Improve the nutritional quality of the product: increase the content of functional nutrients1. 提高产品的营养品质：增加功能性营养素的含量

      The organic selenium, B vitamins, high-quality amino acids and other nutrients in beer yeast can be efficiently absorbed by animals and deposited into meat, eggs, and milk, making the products more nutritious and even forming "functional products" (such as selenium rich eggs and meat).啤酒酵母中的有机硒、B族维生素、优质氨基酸等营养物质能被动物高效吸收，沉积到肉、蛋、奶中，使产品更有营养，甚至形成“功能性产品”（如富硒蛋、富硒肉）。

Case 1: Egg nutrition upgrade案例1：鸡蛋营养升级

      Adding 1% -1.5% beer yeast to the feed of laying hens can increase the organic selenium content in egg yolks by 30% -50% (much higher than ordinary eggs), while increasing the content of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B12, which meets the consumer demand for "high nutrient eggs"; In addition, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (such as linoleic acid) in egg yolks may slightly increase, reducing the proportion of saturated fat.在蛋鸡饲料中添加1% -1.5%的啤酒酵母，可使蛋黄中有机硒含量提高30% -50%（远高于普通鸡蛋），同时提高维生素B2（核黄素）和维生素B12的含量，满足消费者对“高营养鸡蛋”的需求；此外，蛋黄中不饱和脂肪酸（如亚油酸）的比例可能会略有增加，降低饱和脂肪的比例。

Case 2: Optimization of Meat Protein

      After adding beer yeast to fattening pigs or broiler chickens, the content of essential amino acids (such as lysine and methionine) in muscles increases by 2% -4%, and the protein digestion and absorption rate is higher; At the same time, the deposition of selenium in muscles increases, enhancing the antioxidant capacity of meat products (reducing nutrient loss during storage).

2. Improve product sensory quality: optimize flavor, appearance, and shelf life

      Beer yeast can reduce the "bad flavor" of products, improve appearance, and extend shelf life by regulating animal intestinal health and metabolism. Specific manifestations include:

Flavor optimization 风味优化

      The reduction of harmful bacteria in the intestine (such as Clostridium perfringens) can decrease the production of "odorous substances" such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, indole, etc. in animal intestines, thereby reducing the fishy and unpleasant odor of meat products (such as chicken and pork); Egg products can also reduce the "fishy smell" (some laying hens produce it due to metabolic abnormalities) and have a sweeter taste.

Appearance improvement 外观改善

      Egg laying hens: The synergistic effect of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D supplemented by beer yeast can enhance the strength of eggshells (reduce damage rate by 15% -20%), and make the color of eggshells more uniform (such as darker and brighter brown shell eggs); The yolk color is brighter due to improved absorption of carotenoids (from "pale yellow" to "orange yellow"), which is in line with consumers' visual preference for "natural egg products".

      Meat poultry/livestock: The muscle color is more rosy (due to more stable hemoglobin metabolism), reducing the incidence of "white meat" (PSE meat, low-quality meat caused by stress), and the meat is denser and more juicy (with finer muscle fibers).

shelf-life extension 保质期延长

      The antioxidant substances such as selenium and glutathione in beer yeast can accumulate in animal bodies and be transferred to products, inhibiting fat oxidation (avoiding "halitosis") and protein denaturation in meat and eggs, and extending the refrigeration shelf life by 2-3 days (such as reducing the browning rate of pork by 15% -20% during refrigeration).

3. Enhance product safety: reduce drug residue and toxin risks3. 提高产品安全性：降低药物残留和毒素风险

      Beer yeast can enhance animal immunity, improve intestinal health, reduce the frequency of use of antibiotics and other drugs, and lower the risk of drug residues in animal products from the source; At the same time, its yeast cell wall can also adsorb exogenous toxins in the feed, reducing the transfer of toxins to the product.

Reduce drug residues 减少药物残留

      For example, adding beer yeast to piglets reduces diarrhea rates and reduces the use of antibiotics such as enrofloxacin and amoxicillin, making it easier for antibiotic residues in pork to meet national standards (such as China's GB 2763.1-2022 "National Food Safety Standard - Maximum Residue Limits for 43 Pesticides including Paraquat in Food"); After the use of laying hens, the incidence of enteritis decreases, and the use of sulfonamide drugs is reduced to avoid exceeding the limit of drugs in eggs.

Adsorption of exogenous toxins外源性毒素的吸附

      The β - glucan and mannan oligosaccharides in the cell wall of beer yeast can bind with mycotoxins such as aflatoxin and ochratoxin in feed, preventing animals from absorbing them and reducing the deposition of toxins in the liver, muscle, and egg yolk (such as reducing the content of aflatoxin B1 in egg yolk by 40% -60%), thereby improving product safety.

2、 Potential negative impacts and mitigation measures潜在的负面影响和缓解措施

      If beer yeast is used improperly (such as excessive addition or selection of inferior products), it may have a slight negative impact on the quality of animal products, which needs to be avoided through scientific management:

summary

      The impact of beer yeast on the quality of animal products is mainly positive, and the core is to achieve the goal of "better nutrition, better flavor, and safer product" through the logical chain of "improving animal health → optimizing nutritional metabolism → enhancing product quality", especially in line with modern consumers' demand for "green and functional animal products". As long as the principle of "scientific addition+high-quality products+adaptation to animal breeds" is followed, its positive effects can be maximized, potential risks can be avoided, and it is an effective means to enhance the competitiveness of animal products.
