Korean research: Dietary yeast alleviates heat stress in sows

Yeast β-glucans can be effective in alleviating the adverse effects of heat stress due to lower respiratory rate and hair cortisol. That was the outcome of recent research by a team of researchers from South Korea’s Kangwon National University. The team wrote about it in the Journal of Animal Science and Technology, which was published earlier this year. The team chose to evaluate the effect of dietary yeast β-glucan on lactating sows under heat stress, and their offspring, becau
