Selenium Rich Yeast Powder A Natural Source Of Organic Selenium For Laying Hens

Selenium enriched yeast is an organic selenium source developed using yeast. It is produced by enriching selenium in the cell protein structure of growing yeast. Selenium enriched yeast has been proven to be safer, more stable, easier to absorb, more effective, less polluting, and has multiple health benefits than inorganic selenium. Therefore, in recent years, its role in animal nutrition has gradually been recognized, and its application in animal husbandry and fishery production has become increasingly widespread.

Advantages of using yeast selenium in laying hens feed:

1. Yeast selenium enhances egg production rate in laying hens
Research has shown that adding an appropriate amount of yeast selenium (such as 0.2 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg) to the basic diet of laying hens can significantly improve their egg production rate while reducing the feed to egg ratio. This is because yeast selenium can promote the growth and development of laying hens, enhance their metabolic function in the body, and thus improve their egg production performance.

2. Yeast selenium enhances the anti stress ability of laying hens
Yeast selenium can enhance the activities of plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and liver GSH Px, thereby enhancing the total antioxidant capacity of laying hens. This helps laying hens better adapt and resist environmental pressure or stress situations.

3. Yeast selenium improves the metabolism of laying hens
The addition of yeast selenium can improve the yolk color, eggshell strength, and eggshell thickness of eggs, which may be related to the regulation of yeast selenium on the metabolism of laying hens. Yeast selenium can promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients in the body of laying hens, thereby improving their metabolic levels.

4. Yeast Selenium Improves Selenium Content in Eggs
By adding an appropriate amount of yeast selenium (such as 200g/T) to the full feed of laying hens, the selenium content in eggs can reach 0.3-0.5ppm after about 21 days, which is much higher than the selenium content in regular eggs (0.08-0.15ppm). Due to the protein chemical composition of eggs being extremely similar to human proteins, these converted selenium proteins can be well absorbed by the human body, thus having a positive impact on human health.
In summary, yeast selenium plays an important role in the breeding of laying hens. Adding an appropriate amount of yeast selenium can improve the egg production rate, stress resistance, and body metabolism of laying hens, while significantly increasing the selenium content in eggs, which has a positive impact on human health. Therefore, the rational application of yeast selenium in laying hens breeding can improve breeding efficiency and promote sustainable development of the breeding industry.
