In modern animal farming, gut health is central to productivity, welfare, and long-term sustainability. When the digestive system functions efficiently, animals absorb more nutrients, fight off diseases naturally, and deliver better performance. One solution transforming how farmers approach nutrition is YCM (Yeast Culture Metabolites) a postbiotic feed additive designed to optimize gut microbiota and strengthen immune resilience across livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.

Why Gut Health Matters in Animal Performance

Healthy gut microbiota play a vital role in:

• Breaking down complex feed ingredients into usable nutrients.

• Producing volatile fatty acids (VFAs) that fuel energy metabolism.

• Regulating immune responses and reducing inflammation.

• Preventing harmful bacteria from disrupting digestion.

Without a balanced gut, animals are more vulnerable to poor feed conversion, illness, and lower milk, meat, or egg output.

What Makes YCM Different?

Unlike probiotics that depend on live bacterial colonization, YCM delivers over 600 bioactive metabolites through a proprietary fermentation process. These compounds include:

• Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs): fuel for intestinal cells.

• Organic acids: stabilize gut pH and control harmful microbes.

• Immune-modulating peptides: enhance natural disease resistance.

• Antioxidants: protect gut tissue from oxidative stress.

This metabolite-rich composition ensures fast-acting, consistent results in animal diets.

How YCM Shapes Gut Microbiota

YCM supports a healthier gut environment by:

• Encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria.

• Stimulating lactate-utilizing microbes to reduce acidosis.

• Enhancing butyrate and propionate production for energy and immunity.

• Improving fiber breakdown in ruminants and nutrient absorption in monogastrics.

The result: better digestion, higher feed efficiency, and stronger animal resilience.

Immunity and Gut Health: A Strong Connection

Gut health and immunity are closely linked—around 70% of an animal’s immune cells reside in the digestive tract. By balancing gut microbiota, YCM helps build a natural defense system that protects against:

• Stress-induced diseases.

• Inflammatory gut disorders.

• Parasitic and pathogenic challenges.

This immunity boost translates to healthier, more productive animals.

Practical Benefits of YCM in Animal Diets

• Dairy & Beef Cattle: Supports rumen fermentation, improves milk yield, and reduces acidosis risk.

• Small Ruminants (Goats & Sheep): Enhances parasite resistance and fiber digestion.

• Poultry: Improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) and gut health, reducing reliance on antibiotics.

• Aquaculture: Promotes fish and shrimp growth while maintaining water quality.

Investing in gut health is no longer optional—it’s a cornerstone of sustainable and profitable animal farming. With its unique composition of postbiotic metabolites, YCM bridges the gap between feed and function, enabling farmers to achieve better gut health, stronger immunity, and improved animal performance across all production systems.
