Yucca Extract Powder---Natural New Feed Additive:

Source of Yucca Extract:

The main source of yucca extract is the natural plant yucca, also known as soft-leaf yucca, rough yucca, pineapple, etc. It is extracted and concentrated by ethanol solvent, and then extracted with water and n-butanol to remove excess impurities and evaporated to dryness. Then reflux with ether to get yucca dry powder. Best yucca supplement is native to North America. It has strong absorption and resistance to harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and ammonia. It is widely used in road greening, garden greening, and family Potted plants, etc.

What is Yucca Extract?

The main components of yucca extract are yucca saponins, yucca polysaccharides, yucca polyphenols, etc. It is a natural steroid saponin and natural urease inhibitor, which can reduce the rapid decomposition of urea and accelerate the decomposition of ammonia. It can reduce the generation of ammonia in rumen liquid, improve the utilization rate of non-protein nitrogen, and promote the absorption and digestion of nutrients such as protein; while yucca saponins can quickly improve the permeability of the small intestine, improve the intestinal flora, and increase the production of lactic acid bacteria. quantity, helping to improve animal growth.

Yucca Extract Benefits :

1. Improve the growth environment of livestock

The active ingredients in yucca root extract can limit the production of ammonia in manure, improve the decomposition rate of organic matter in livestock, reduce the concentration of ammonia in the growth environment of livestock, and reduce the amount of ammonia in manure by 40%-60%, and the content of hydrogen sulfide. 50%, to achieve the effect of purifying the environment and deodorizing.

Mechanism of action:

(1) Yucca extract is a urease inhibitor, which can inhibit the active component of urease, reduce urea, and quickly decompose ammonia;

(2) Yucca saponins can promote the conversion of microorganisms into microbial protein and reduce the production of ammonia in feces and urine;

(3) The macromolecules and sequence molecules of yucca extract can quickly adsorb and absorb harmful gases in the environment;

(4) Yucca extract can organize the nitrification of nitrogen in feces and urine, and reduce the emission of ammonia in the air;

2. Promote animal growth and improve animal quality

(1) Organic yucca extract can reduce the concentration of ammonia gas, prevent its irritation to the intestine, reduce the generation of excrement and the release of ammonia gas in the intestine, and improve the living environment of animals;

(2) Yucca extract can reduce the proliferation of intestinal tissue, slow down the renewal of intestinal tissue, and prevent the rapid consumption of energy, protein, and oxygen;

(3) Yucca powder has a certain activity, stimulates anaerobic fermentation, promotes rumen fermentation, increases the synthesis of microbial protein, improves the meat quality of animals, and increases the disease resistance rate of animals;

3. Promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients and improve the quality of feed

Mechanism of action:

(1) Yucca saponin powder is a surfactant, which can effectively remove the garbage attached to the gastrointestinal mucosa;

(2) Yucca saponins can delay the passage of food in the digestive tract and improve the absorption and digestion of food in the intestinal tract;

(3) Yucca saponins can improve the shape of the epithelial cell membrane of the digestive tract, reduce the surface tension of the cell membrane, and promote the absorption of nutrients by animals;

4. Boost Immunity

Yucca extract can enhance the growth of animal intestinal mucosa, prevent the invasion of viral diseases, inhibit the absorption of intestinal nutrients by viruses and harmful bacteria, inhibit the reproduction of viruses in the digestive tract, and reduce the concentration of ammonia in the livestock growth environment. , reduce the nervous system disorders caused by respiratory diseases and improve the disease resistance of animals.

Application of Yucca Extract in Animal Production:

1. Chicken industry

Studies have shown that a chicken farm in the United States added 85mg/kg of yucca extract to chicken feed, and conducted a control test with no addition. The survey results showed that the egg production rate of chickens increased by 5%, and the feed consumption rate decreased by 3%; in broiler chickens, The weight of yucca extract was increased by 4% and 6% respectively in the feed of turkeys and turkeys; 3-155mg/kg of supplements were added to the daily food of laying hens. With the increasing content, the egg production rate also increased significantly. , The concentration of ammonia gas in the chicken house is also significantly reduced, which greatly improves the economic benefits of the chicken industry.

2. Pig industry

Studies have shown that the Netherlands added yucca extract powder to the feed at a ratio of 120g/t in the piglet stage and 100g/t in the pig stage. The control experiment showed that the weight of piglets increased by 14.7%, and the weight of pork increased. 6.10%, the consumption of feed is reduced by 8.2% and 3.8% respectively; adding yucca extract to pig feed can reduce odor and harm to pigs; adding 125mg/kg of yucca extract to the grain of finishing pigs The average daily gain was increased by 3.1%, the feed conversion rate was increased by 6.15%, the feed cost was reduced by 6%, and the meat quality and weight of pigs were significantly improved.

3. Cattle farming

Researchers at the University of Colorado in the United States added 24-48 mg/kg of yucca extract to cattle feed, and the results showed that yucca extract could improve the digestibility of solid matter and the production rate of propionic acid in the rumen of cattle; The addition of yucca powder to the beef cattle food in the feed shows that the effect on beef cattle is better and the growth environment of cattle can be improved.

4. Aquatic animals

Adding 100g of yucca extract to the feed of farmed shrimp can significantly reduce the total ammonia nitrogen in the excrement, improve the growth cycle and meat proportion of shrimp, help reduce the incidence of black spot disease by 50%, improve water quality, and reduce the incidence of vibrio. The damage caused by the disease is the best natural green feed additive for shrimp farming.

5. Pets

Adding 250g to the poodle's basal diet, the pet feces will be significantly reduced in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks, with a reduced rate of 23.5%. It is a natural and safe pet nutritional supplement, suitable for cats, dogs, and horses The joints, skin, and digestive tract of other animals have obvious promotion and improvement effects.
