| description | Yeast and its derivatives, including yeast extract and yeast cell wall, are well established as safe and environmentally sustainable feed additives that significantly improve animal production performance and health. Their incorporation into swine production serves as an innovative nutritional strategy aimed at improving growth performance, bolstering health status, and enhancing immune function in pigs. As a versatile microorganism, yeast generates a variety of bioactive compounds through fermentation, such as amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, and growth factors, which collectively contribute to improved growth and overall health in pigs. This review consolidates current research on the utilization of yeast and yeast derivatives in swine production, highlighting their biological functions and practical implications within the industry. |
