Angel Yeast Showcases Yeast-Based Innovations for Animal Nutrition at TUYEM 2026
On June 8, 2026, Angel Yeast (SH600298), a prominent global yeast manufacturer, presented its latest research and product innovations at the 16th International Congress and Exhibition on Animal Feed (TUYEM) held in Turkey. Dr. George Gong, a technical expert from Angel Yeast, delivered an insightful keynote titled "Postbiotics and Yeast Peptides Nutrition in Ruminants," highlighting the significant role of yeast technologies in animal nutrition.
TUYEM, organized by the Turkish Association of Animal Feed Manufacturers (Türkiyem-Bir), is a pivotal event for the animal feed industry, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and professionals across various sectors, including raw materials, additives, and technologies. This year's congress focused on sustainable practices, future food production for animals, and supply chain challenges.
Angel Yeast's participation garnered notable attention, especially regarding yeast-based technologies that improve production efficiency in the face of rising animal feed costs and supply chain hurdles. The global animal feed industry continues to grapple with significant challenges. Producers in both Turkey and China face increasing pressures from the strong demand for raw materials and persistent high costs.
With over 40 years of experience in yeast technology, Angel Yeast has concentrated its efforts on developing yeast-based solutions designed to optimize animal nutrition and feed efficiency. In ruminant nutrition, live yeast is extensively used to regulate rumen microbial flora, stabilize ruminal pH, and enhance the digestibility of fiber and starch. More than 100 studies conducted by Angel Yeast have shown that the application of its yeast products can lead to an average daily gain increase in beef cattle ranging from 10% to 20%, while dairy cows can see an increase in milk production by 5% to 10%, which translates to an additional 1 to 2 liters of milk per cow per day. These improvements support farmers in achieving greater production efficiency while minimizing feed consumption, thus alleviating the impacts of rising raw material costs.
Given the widespread use of pelleted feed in the Turkish market, where high-temperature and humidity pelleting processes may diminish live yeast activity, Angel Yeast is intensifying its R&D efforts in functional ingredients like yeast peptides and cell walls. These components provide either prebiotic or postbiotic benefits and have vast potential applications in ruminants, poultry, aquaculture, and pet food.
Dr. George Gong emphasized, “Currently, the primary application of yeast and its derivatives lies within ruminant feed, but its potential reaches far beyond this sector. Yeast peptides, cell walls, and other functional components can be utilized in pet food, poultry feed, aquaculture, and various other food applications. These functional ingredients will empower yeast products to play a crucial role across a wider range of animal production systems, achieving enhanced efficiency and sustainability for the long term.”
Angel Yeast's innovations represent a forward-thinking approach to animal nutrition, addressing critical challenges while paving the way for more resilient and sustainable agricultural practices.
