Turkey Tail (Coriolus versicolor) - Feed Ingredient

Turkey tail (Coriolus versicolor) is a polypore mushroom recognized for its fan-shaped, layered fruiting body that displays a range of muted colors. It is typically found growing on decaying hardwood logs and has a composition that includes non-starch polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. The ingredient is processed to preserve its structural components while facilitating its inclusion in feed formulations.

In equine diets, Turkey tail is incorporated as an ingredient in dietary supplements, providing a source of natural polysaccharides that may support immune function and overall health.
