Yucca schidigera Extract - Feed Ingredient

Yucca Schidigera extract is derived from the Yucca Schidigera plant, a desert shrub native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The extract contains bioactive compounds, including saponins and polyphenols, which contribute to its functional properties in animal nutrition.

In equine feed, Yucca Schidigera extract is primarily used as a natural feed additive to help reduce ammonia emissions from manure, thereby improving stable air quality. The saponins in yucca may also have potential benefits for gut health by modulating microbial populations in the digestive tract. While often included in specialized feed formulations, it is not an essential nutrient but rather a functional ingredient used to support environmental and digestive health.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Yucca schidigera Extract as an ingredient.
