Advances in Biological Functions of Yucca schidigera Extract and Its Application in Swine and Poultry Production
Yucca schidigera extracts are a group of ether-insoluble compounds derived from Yucca schidigera through a sequence of processing methods.The main active ingredients of Yucca schidigera extract include sap-onins,polyphenols,polysaccharides,and so on,and they have a variety of biological functions such as antiox-idant,anti-inflammatory,and antibacterial activities,as well as immune regulation.Studies have shown that Yucca schidigera extract plays a positive role in swine and poultry production,such as growth promotion,im-provement of intestinal health,enhancement of product quality,and inhibition of emissions of odorous sub-stances.These characteristics make Yucca schidigera extract possess a good potential for replacement of tradi-tional antibiotics and promotion of emission reductions,and hold broad development and application prospects.This study reviewed the main active ingredients and biological functions of Yucca schidigera extract,as well as its application in swine and poultry production,aiming to provide a reference for the development and utiliza-tion of Yucca schidigera extract as feed additives and the ecological and healthy breeding for swine and poultry.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(11):6882-6893]
