Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for horses and dogs

Brewer's yeast is a natural nutritional supplement used as part of a balanced diet when you want to add B-group vitamins, amino acids and yeast-derived nutrients to the diet. Brewer's yeast is rich in natural nutrients and is often used to balance the diet and as a nutritional supplement that supports the normal function of digestion.

Natural composition

Brewer's yeast naturally contains: B-group vitamins, amino acids and high-quality protein, enzymes, minerals and trace elements, as well as structural fibres of the yeast cell

Brewer's yeast has a high protein content (approx. 44 %) and contains several essential amino acids, such as lysine, threonine, methionine and tryptophan.

Yeast cell fibre structures – beta-glucans and MOS

The cell wall of brewer's yeast naturally contains beta-glucan structures and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), which are fibre compounds typical of yeast.

Beta-glucans are soluble fibre structures involved in nutrient processing in the digestive tract and in the natural functions of the gut. They form part of the yeast cell wall structure and serve as a nutritional source of fibre.

Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) are fibre structures found on the surface of the yeast cell, used in feeding as part of a diet that takes the gut microbial environment into account. MOS compounds are involved in microbial interactions in the gut and in nutrient utilisation.

Nutritional significance of brewer's yeast

The B vitamins contained in brewer's yeast participate in numerous normal metabolic processes in the body. They are involved in, for example, energy metabolism, normal function of the nervous system, muscle function, the structure of skin and mucous membranes, and normal cell division.

The amino acids in brewer's yeast contribute to the formation of the body's protein structures and are part of the normal renewal of tissues.

Chromium as part of brewer's yeast

Brewer's yeast contains small amounts of chromium (approx. 2 mg/kg, content may naturally vary). Chromium is involved in the normal metabolism of glucose and carbohydrates in the body and participates in nutrient utilisation at the cellular level. Yeast preparations containing chromium are used in feeding as part of the nutritional balance related to energy nutrient processing.

Digestion and dietary use context

Brewer's yeast is used in feeding particularly in situations where you want to add yeast-derived nutrients and fibre structures to the diet to support the normal function of the digestive tract.

It is often used as part of the diet, for example:

  • during dietary changes

  • in concentrate-heavy feeding regimes

  • to balance the protein composition of the diet

  • when you want to add a source of B vitamins to the diet

  • for animals with variable appetite
