Yucca Extract

Jiayuan-- Main Producer and Provider of Yucca extract

Yucca, primarily composed of saponins derived from Yucca, with Jayuan content ranging from 30%, 60%, to 80%, appears as a tan-yellow powder. The saponin components in Yucca reduce the production of ammonia in animal excrement and within the intestines, thereby enhancing nitrogen utilization in feed. By inhibiting the nitrification of nitrogen in excrement, it retains nitrogen in an inorganic form, thereby reducing atmospheric ammonia emissions. Additionally, it affects protozoa in the intestines, altering their predation on bacteria, which increases the population of fiber-degrading bacteria and aids in the fermentation and degradation of cellulose in the hindgut.

Mechanism of Action

1. Rich in Yucca saponins, it acts as a natural intestinal cleanser and surfactant, facilitating the removal of intestinal debris and toxins, and promoting emulsification of fats. It increases intestinal villi length in animals, supports colonization and proliferation of beneficial bacteria, enhances nutrient (especially protein) absorption in the intestines, and improves the intestinal environment, thereby enhancing feeding protein utilization.

2. Yucca extract powder products, with unique Yucca polysaccharides, exhibit strong affinity for ammonia and other odors in the animal gut. This property helps reduce malodors such as ammonia in the intestines, regulates intestinal microflora, decreases odors in animal housing and pet environments, and improves farming conditions. It also lowers blood and intestinal ammonia concentrations, increases blood oxygen levels, and reduces harm caused by ammonia to animal organisms.

3. It contains Yucca polyphenols including resveratrol, which help scavenge free radicals in the body and improve carcass quality.

Market Prospects

With the rapid development of China's livestock industry, concerns about environmental pollution caused by intensive farming have received widespread attention. The Ministry of Agriculture has also enacted a series of regulations for preventing and controlling livestock pollution. In summary, Yucca extract, as a natural plant extract, not only promotes animal growth and enhances feed efficiency to improve economic benefits, but also improves the health of livestock and poultry. Furthermore, it can reduce harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide produced by excrement, as well as methane generated by rumen fermentation in ruminants. These benefits are crucial for ensuring food safety, controlling environmental pollution, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it can be widely applied as a safe, green, and efficient feed additive in livestock production.

Functions

1. Promoting Animal Growth

It enhances digestive enzyme activity, improves the apparent digestibility of nutrients such as protein, and increases energy utilization efficiency. It also increases the number of transport proteins and enhances intestinal absorption capacity. Research shows that it significantly improves the digestibility of crude protein, crude fat, and crude fiber in the ileum, thereby increasing feed efficiency in broiler chickens. It leads to higher average daily gain and final weight, exhibiting a significant linear relationship within a certain dosage range.

2. Improving Reproductive Performance

The functional status of the reproductive system and levels of reproductive hormones are critical factors influencing animal reproductive performance. Research by VLCKOVA and others indicates that it affects the proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cells in sheep, influencing follicle development by inhibiting the production and release of steroid hormones from the ovaries.

3. Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Effects

The saponins in Yucca extract exhibit glucocorticoid-like effects in animals, while resveratrol inhibits nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), thereby suppressing the synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and reducing the production of inflammatory factor nitric oxide (NO). These components collectively demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties. Studies by LUO et al. suggest that adding it to feed can alleviate heat stress-induced inflammatory responses in broiler chickens, reducing inflammatory damage.

4. Enhancing Immune and Antioxidant Performance

The immune ability and antioxidant function of animal organisms are closely related to their physiological condition and susceptibility to disease. Parameters such as antioxidant enzyme activity in serum, free radical scavenging rate, and immunoglobulin levels reflect the animal's antioxidant capacity and immune function. Polyphenolic compounds in organic yucca extract possess strong free radical scavenging capabilities and prevent free radical formation. It modulates humoral and cellular immunity, increases spleen and thymus organ indices, boosts lymphocyte count, activates lymphocyte function, and enhances serum immunoglobulin levels.

5. Regulating the Gastrointestinal Environment

It regulates the gastrointestinal environment by lowering intestinal pH, influencing intestinal morphology, and modulating the gut microbiota. Adding it to feed can normalize rumen pH in sheep, and increase the proportion of volatile fatty acids such as butyric acid and isobutyric acid in the rumen. Moreover, it regulates apoptosis of intestinal mucosal cells, reduces cell death rate, protects intestinal mucosal tissue integrity, increases intestinal villus height, decreases crypt depth in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, strengthens the intestinal barrier, and improves nutrient absorption efficiency.

6. Improving Farming Environment

Gaseous and waste emissions during animal farming can pollute the environment and affect farming profitability. Urease is a key enzyme involved in ammonia synthesis, and saponins in it effectively inhibit urease, reducing ammonia emissions from feces by approximately 53%. Additionally, saponins improve the structure of intestinal microbial communities, inhibit protein fermentation, lower ammonia nitrogen concentrations in intestinal contents, directly bind to ammonia and hydrogen sulfide odor compounds, thereby reducing their levels. It helps reduce the odor of animal feces and urine, reduce ammonia and methane emissions inside and outside the body, and improve the breeding environment.

Applications

1. Feed Industry:

Adding it can accelerate animal growth, improve animal health, and enhance feed conversion efficiency. It also helps reduce odors within farming facilities, thereby increasing productivity in animals such as pigs, cattle, chickens, and shrimp.

2. Pet Food Industry:

• Many premium and high-end pet food brands incorporate whole yucca plant extract to improve pet intestinal function and reduce pet fecal odor. Yucca polyphenols also possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, thereby alleviating tear stains in pets.
• Yucca saponins (natural steroid saponins) act as excellent natural intestinal cleansers and surfactants, clearing intestinal debris and toxins, and promoting emulsification of fats. They significantly increase intestinal villi length in pets, support colonization and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gut, and enhance intestinal absorption of nutrients (amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc.), thereby improving gastrointestinal health.
• Animal fur is composed of 94% protein and amino acids. It significantly improves the efficiency of protein and amino acid utilization, thereby enhancing pet body condition and coat color.
