| Abstract | ||
| Antibiotic resistance is an increasing global threat and it has led animal feed nutritionists to find alternatives for antibacterial growth promoters. In addition, the presence of mycotoxins in the crops, feed, and livestock products is a serious problem in safeguarding consumers’ health globally. Therefore, animal and poultry nutritionists are considering natural alternatives to antibiotics to increase the general health and welfare of animals and reduce the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance. Yeast cell wall products with prebiotic and mycotoxins adsorbent properties are recommended and consumed as feed supplements. The yeast cell wall makes up 25% of the total dry weight of the yeast cell and has a complex structure composed mainly of manoproteins, β-glucans, chitin, and N-acetylglucosamine. This article reviews the biological activities of the main components of the cell wall, β-glucan and mannan in improving the microbial flora of the gastrointestinal tract, modulating the immune system, and absorption of mycotoxins. | ||
