INTRODUCTION
The leaf of the plant” Yucca Schidigera” contains much steroidal saponins, which includes Sarsapogein, Smilagenin, Hecogenin, Saponin— free, Glyco—Components, and Glycocomponents, also called as Oligosaccharides; some resveratrol and polyphenols.
Yucca extract as feed additive helps to inhibit the decomposition of urea, As per research data, the yucca extract can reduce about 30% of ammonia content, lower the volatile compounds that cause bad odors in the excretions.
APPLICATION
1) Yucca saponins is a natural feed additive for livestock and poultry used to control odors, ammonia and other gas emissions, which can be detrimental to livestock performance
2) Yucca extract has a wide range of liquids and powders for use in the agribusiness food and beverage sectors. It has been widely used in swine and poultry production to reduce odour and ammonia emissions.
3) In agriculture, the Yucca schidigera extract has a high steroidal saponin content that has the property of being a natural surfactant. When it is added to the soil, it has the ability to interact with the cells in the roots of the plants, increasing water and nutrient absorption. At the same time, the saponins interact with the surrounding micro flora, creating a more favorable rhizosphere for the plant.
4) Widely used in the swine's feeding, poultry broilers layers, shrimps feeding.
