Yucca Extract

What Is Yucca Extract?

Yucca Extract powder is extracted from yucca, containing steroidal saponins (sarsasapogenin, smilagenin, agavegenin), free saponins, carbohydrate complexes and other main active ingredients. It has a strong adsorption capacity for harmful gases, which can reduce the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in livestock houses, improve the animal feeding environment, promote feed decomposition, improve digestibility, enhance the body's resistance, and promote the body's absorption of nutrients , improve the health of animals, improve the production performance of livestock and poultry, and effectively improve the quality of livestock products; it can also stimulate the circulation and respiratory system, affect the activity of vitamins and the secretion of animal hormones, as a pancreatic emulsifier, it has been widely studied and used in animal production, Produced good economic and social benefits. It is also used in the production of other products, such as foaming agents for carbonated beverages and food flavor enhancers, and has been approved by the US Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as supplementary food.

What Are The Benefits?

1. Reduce Ammonia Emissions

At present, a large number of studies have reported that the active ingredients in Yucca Extract powder can reduce the production of ammonia in feces and intestines, and improve the utilization rate of nitrogen in feed.

Yucca extract has the ability to directly bind ammonia. Buggle et al. reported that macromolecules and sequence molecules have adsorption capacity for ammonia. The polyphenols and ammonia molecules in the ingredients also have a strong binding ability to reduce ammonia emissions. It can promote the use of ammonia in the intestine by microorganisms to form microbial proteins, and the nitrogen compounds formed by the combination of polysaccharides and ammonia can also be fully utilized by intestinal microorganisms, thereby reducing the mass concentration of ammonia and improving the utilization rate of nitrogen in feed. It can also reduce the amount of ammonia emitted into the atmosphere by preventing the nitrification of nitrogen in feces and urine, so that nitrogen exists in the form of inorganic matter.

2. Regulating The Intestinal Microenvironment
Reduce the content of ammonia in the intestinal tract, maintain the acid-base balance of the intestinal tract, provide suitable pH conditions for the highest activity of digestive enzymes, and promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The saponins in the ingredients can change the structure of the intestinal villi and the thickness of the mucosa, increase the area of nutrient absorption, and can also combine with cholesterol on the intestinal epithelial cell membrane to form a complex to remove it, increase the permeability of the intestinal mucosal cells, and reduce the membrane surface. tension. Saponins can also combine with compounds similar to cholesterol on the surface of bacteria, increase the permeability of bacterial cell walls and cell membranes, increase the secretion of exogenous enzymes and degrade macromolecules around bacteria, and make the absorption of nutrients faster.

3. Antibacterial Effect
Yucca saponin has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, and it is effective against hemolytic Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, pneumococcus, Shigella, typhoid bacillus, paratyphoid bacillus, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Bacillus pertussis and common pathogenic skin fungi all have strong inhibitory properties.
Adding yucca saponin in the diet significantly reduced the content of Escherichia coli in the cecum of 21-day-old broilers, while the content of Lactobacillus in the cecum increased but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Yucca extract also has a certain inhibitory effect on fungi. Yucca extract inhibits the growth of two uricase-producing yeasts, Candida utilis and Pichia pastoris.

4. Improve Immune Function
Yucca saponin has immunostimulatory activity, can promote the production of antibodies, can stimulate the proliferation of immune cells in vitro, increase the content of CD4+ in the blood, reduce the content of CD8+, and increase the titer of Newcastle disease antibodies.

5. Hypoglycemic, Cholesterol-Lowering And Antioxidant Effects
Can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and has anti-oxidative stress effects.

Application Direction

1. Application in pigs
If the impact of ammonia on the environment cannot be well controlled, it will become one of the restrictive factors for the sustainable and efficient development of the pig industry.

2. Application in poultry
As a deodorant, it is widely used in broiler farming. A large number of studies have shown that Yucca Extract powder can significantly reduce the content of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in chicken houses. At present, the application of yucca extract is not limited to the deodorizing function. Its production test shows that yucca extract can also promote the growth of broiler chickens and increase the metabolic rate of energy and protein. Shan Tixin prepared yucca, a traditional Chinese medicine, at 1g/mL, and mixed 167mL of it into 800L of drinking water every day for the chickens to drink. After 2 weeks, the elimination rate of ammonia in the house reached 59.24%. During the egg period, the rate of decline in egg production was slowed down.

3. Application in aquaculture
It can reduce the mass concentration of ammonia in water, improve water quality and promote aquaculture.

Application Prospects

With the rapid development of my country's animal husbandry, the environmental pollution caused by intensive farming has attracted widespread attention. The Ministry of Agriculture has also promulgated a series of regulations on the prevention and control of breeding pollution. As a natural green plant additive, Yucca Extract powder can not only be used as a deodorant, reduce the emission of harmful gases in livestock houses, improve the breeding environment, but also promote the growth and development of animals, improve the immune function of the body, reduce the incidence of diseases, improve Animal product quality, and does not contain any toxic ingredients, non-toxic, no adverse reactions, no pollution and no residue, has broad development prospects in animal husbandry production.
