Since producers are continuously looking for tools to maximize productivity, yeast is the word of the hour! Its supplementation has been widely researched and utilized in piglet and sow nutrition, but do you know that not all yeast products are the same nor deliver the same benefits? As opposed to others, live yeast has the unique ability to scavenge oxygen radicals – in other words, the intestinal colonization of live yeast can reduce the growth of unwanted bacteria in the gut and stimulate the growth of fibrolytic microbes.

     • Recent trials have shown improvement in pig performance and livability along with mitigation of heat stress and increased litter weaning weight. For more information, read AB Vista’s most recent live yeast and heat stress article here.
