Enhancing gut efficiency in fattening pigs to reduce costs using live yeast
Around 70% of the feed price is determined by the costs of energy supplying feedstuff. Therefore, optimizing pig energy metabolism and its physiological status to extract as much energy as possible from the feed nutrients is a leverage to increase producer profitability.
Until now, the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 (LEVUCELL SB) has been mainly advocated and documented for its benefits in sow and piglet diet, as both a performance enhancer and gut health promoter.
