So, you’ve heard about pig yeast culture, and you’re thinking about trying it. But how do you get started? Here are a few field-tested tips from producers already using it.
First, choose the right form. Pig yeast culture products come as powders, crumbles, or in premixes. Make sure it’s heat-stable if you’re pelleting your feed. Quality matters—a good supplier will provide consistent product and clear inclusion rates.
Second, ease into it. If your pigs haven’t had yeast culture in pig feed before, start with a small percentage and monitor behavior. You’ll often see firmer stools, calmer animals, and better feed intake in the first week.
Third, stay consistent. Pig yeast culture feed additives work best when used daily, not sporadically. That steady inclusion helps balance the microbiome and keeps gut health stable over time.
Lastly, take notes. Every farm is different. Track your feed conversion, weight gain, and health issues. You might be surprised at how much changes after just a few weeks of use.
Adding yeast culture isn’t complicated—but it does take a little planning. With the right approach, it’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your swine nutrition program.
