Western Yeast Culture is used to great advantage by our pork producing customers. Our European and Asian customers typically use Western Yeast Culture to reduce supplemental phosphorus requirements, costs and pollution. One of the many beneficial enzymes produced by live yeast cells is phytase which releases phytin phosphorus, the primary form of phosphorus in cereal grains. Phytin phosphorus is very poorly utilized so most of the phosphorus in grains goes unused. Many pork producers use Western Yeast Culture to reduce supplemental phosphorus costs and its subsequent effect on the environment. Western Yeast Culture will eliminate constipation in lactating sows which then consume more and wean heavier pigs. Normally, the addition of Western Yeast Culture to grower/finisher diets will stop cannibalism, reduce manure volumes and aid in manure odor control. Producers frequently comment on its ability to reduce incidence of ulcers as well. Western Yeast Culture does not function as a medication. The dependable, positive results producers see with Western Yeast Culture are a result of yeast's ability to ensure and enhance normal digestion and our ability to deliver to you a live yeast cell in an undiluted high potency culture.
