ACTIVE DRY YEAST

Description

Active dry yeast is a dry yeast product which is made by specially cultured fresh yeast after being squeezed and dehydrated to maintain strong fermentation ability. In ruminants, live yeast stimulates oxygen removal in the rumen to create favourable conditions for anaerobic bacteria to grow, thereby optimizing rumen fermentation and digestion. Yeast can also prevent the decrease in rumen pH associated with grain based diets. By promoting cellulolytic and fibrolytic bacteria and other microorganisms in the rumen that consume lactic acid, yeast helps prevent acidosis. Furthermore, yeast competes with lactate producing microorganisms for soluble sugars and idealizes the rumen pH. While in swine active dry yeast can stimulate digestion and aid in maintaining microbial equilibrium in the hindgut.
