Yucca

Now in RumenEdge from AgriBest Feeds

At AgriBest Feeds, we believe that nature offers powerful solutions to the everyday challenges livestock producers face. That’s why we’ve included Yucca schidigera extract in our new, comprehensive feed supplement: RumenEdge.

More than just a desert plant, yucca is a natural game-changer in livestock nutrition—backed by both traditional wisdom and modern research.


What Is Yucca schidigera?

Yucca schidigera is a hardy plant native to the American Southwest and Mexico, long used by Indigenous communities for its medicinal properties. Today, science confirms that yucca contains saponins and polyphenols—bioactive compounds with powerful digestive, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying effects.

When included in livestock feed, yucca supports digestion, reduces ammonia levels, and promotes gut health—naturally.


The Benefits of Yucca in Livestock Nutrition

Here’s how yucca makes a difference for your herd:

1. Supports Digestive Function

Yucca’s natural saponins help improve nutrient absorption and gut integrity—so animals get more out of every bite, leading to more efficient weight gain and improved performance.

2. Reduces Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Yucca’s polyphenols offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, supporting immune health, hoof condition, and overall resilience.

3. Improves Manure Quality

Better digestion and ammonia control mean firmer, more consistent manure, leading to improved pen cleanliness and reduced fly pressure—a win for both animal health and labor efficiency.

4. Reduces Ammonia and Odor

One of yucca’s standout benefits is its ability to bind ammonia in the gut. This results in lower ammonia emissions in barns, pens, and pastures, improving air quality and animal comfort.


RumenEdge: The Power of Yucca—and More

RumenEdge isn’t just about one ingredient—it’s a complete, science-backed supplement designed to improve rumen function, digestion, and immune resilience.

Each batch of RumenEdge includes:

  • Yucca extract – for gut health and ammonia control

  • Redmond Conditioner – for natural detox and mineral balance

  • Corn DDGS – to deliver protein, energy, and digestible fiber

  • Garlic – for fly control and immune system support

Together, these ingredients offer a balanced solution that helps your livestock digest better, perform stronger, and breathe easier—naturally.
