extracted from the yeast cell walls Saccharomyces cerevisiae
and contains
greater than 70% pure yeast beta 1,3/1,6-D-Glucan as a feed ingredient
for livestock. B-glucans,
essential components of yeast cell walls, have been shown to
be useful feed ingredients for a wide range of livestock and
aquatic animals.
