Prebiotics play a fundamental role in animal nutrition, promoting intestinal health and overall well-being. This article will explore the benefits of prebiotics in animal feed, focusing on HyperGen, Biorigin’s second-generation MOS.
What are prebiotics for animal nutrition?
Prebiotics are non-digestible food additives that stimulate the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, thus promoting intestinal health. They are used as supplements in animal feed to improve digestive health, increase nutrient absorption, and strengthen local immunity. Prebiotics are especially important in animal diets, such as pigs and poultry, as they help balance the intestinal microbiota and improve digestive efficiency.
Prebiotics for animal nutrition: Benefits of HyperGen
-
Maintenance of intestinal integrity: Prebiotics, like HyperGen, help maintain intestinal health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine.
-
Better nutrient utilization: Prebiotics aid in the proper absorption of nutrients, ensuring better food utilization.
-
Increased intestinal mucosa defense: HyperGen contributes to greater defense of the intestinal mucosa, reducing the occurrence of infections and improving the overall health of animals.
-
Higher performance and profitability: Animals with better intestinal health and nutrient absorption tend to perform better, resulting in greater profitability for producers.
HyperGen: Biorigin’s 2nd generation MOS
HyperGen is a second-generation MOS derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was developed to provide mannans with high solubility and partially exposed beta-glucans, resulting in a potent prebiotic effect and strengthening of natural defenses.
