Active Dried Yeast - Feed Ingredient

Active dried yeast (ADY) refers to a form of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that has been dehydrated while maintaining its viability. It is produced through a controlled fermentation process, followed by drying to preserve its ability to become metabolically active when introduced into a suitable environment.

In animal nutrition, active dried yeast is used as a probiotic to support microbial activity in the digestive tract. It is commonly included in the diets of horses, ruminants, swine, and poultry to promote fiber digestion, stabilize gut microbiota, and support fermentation efficiency. The specific effects of active dried yeast depend on factors such as strain selection, inclusion rate, and interactions with the existing gut microbiome.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Active Dried Yeast as an ingredient.
