Progressive swine operations are discovering that natural supplements containing mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and β-glucans can be used to improve intestinal health and make animals less susceptible to enteric disease.
MOS is extracted from the outer wall of yeast cells. Pathogenic bacteria in the gut are attracted to MOS. Instead of attaching themselves to the intestinal wall lining and multiplying, bacteria readily bind with the carbohydrate and are excreted with the feces — before they can cause problems.
The result is often a healthier intestinal environment with less pressure from enteric disease.
