Abstract

The main active components in Yucca schidigera extract (YSE) are steroidal saponins, resveratrol and yuccals, which possess a wide range of biological functions. Early studies of YSE focused on its impacts on ruminal fermentation, in an attempt to mitigate hazardous gas emission in ruminants. In recent years, there are increasing numbers of reports about applying YSE as a feed additive to promote health and growth performance of animals. The article summarized gas mitigation effects of YSE in animal feeding, with a focus on methane and ammonia reduction. The article also concluded recent studies about the beneficial effects of YSE on different animals including livestock and lab animals in terms of promoting health and growth performance.
