Equine Chromium Selenium Yeast New Organic Chromium and Selenium with Fermentation Solubles O.C.S.Y. 200X is a spray dried whole cell yeast of saccharomyces cerevisiae containing controlled high levels of chromium and selenium. The natural yeast fermentation process is than supplemented with the necessary levels of chromium and selenium. The yeast cream is than pasteurized to prevent contamination and spray dried and than combined with our lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation solubles for the highest quality product of its kind. This process allows the chromium and selenium to interact with the yeast cell components and the processing conditions cause a natural chelating effect which preserve the level of biological chromium (form of polynicotinate) and selenium as natural selenomethionine. The report by Pagan et at. (1995) of a positive response to organic Cr supplementation in exercising Thoroughbred horses is exciting. Using a switchback design in which the horses received 5 mg/day of Cr from Cr yeast, benefits were observed in metabolic response during periods of strenuous exercise on a high-speed treadmill. During the exercise period, Cr supplementation reduced plasma glucose, plasma lactate, plasma cortisol and elevated plasma triglycerides. Recent research work does not question the well known need for Se, rather the form in which should be fed. Results of recent experiments illustrate the value of providing dietary Se in an organic form. Selenium has been shown to be important in reducing problems associated with tying up, poor performance and nervousness. There is also a link in its ability to limit free radical damage. Many factors lead to deficiencies of this nutrient. The most common cause is geographical areas consisting of soils, which are deficient in selenium. Horses that are exposed to heavy conditioning, fast growth and pollution can benefit from the supplementation of organic selenium. Numerous University research studies have clearly and effectively demonstrated increased retention of Se, when fed in the form of Se yeast. Researchers have said that the fundamental error had originally been made with the choice of sodium selenite. Sodium selenite is not only a carcinogen, but acts as an oxidant. Numerous University research studies have clearly and effectively demonstrated the benefits in supplementing chromium in animal diets. Some of the benefits are listed below in order to objectively evaluate the need for adding chromium to existing high quality diets. Organic Yeast Polynicotinate chromium is also more bioavailable than chromium picolinate. Animal research study at the University of California found that polynicotinate chromium was absorbed and retained up to 311% better than chromium picolinate and 672% better than chromium chloride. The high bioavailability means that polynicotinate chromium has the ability to deliver more of the healthy benefits chromium has to offer. Schwarz and Mertz in 1959 were the first to identify chromium as the active constituent of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF). Although the exact structure of GTF is unknown, it is thought to be a nicotinic acid-trivalent chromium-nicotinic acid axis with ligands of glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine (Mertz et al., 1974). Chromium may have several biological functions, including activating certain enzymes and maintaining structural integrity of nucleic acids, but its main role is as the key component of the GTF which enhances the action of insulin summary, there is a growing body of evidence which suggest that chromium may be an essential trace element for livestock and poultry. The nutritional requirement for chromium may vary with different specie and physiological state within a specie. Metric System/Mass Conversion Equivalents 1 pound (lb) = 453.6 grams (g) 1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2 lb = 1.000 g 1 mg/lb = 2 g/ton 1 g = 1,000 milligrams (mg)\1 mg/lb = 2.2 ppm 1 mg/kg = l part/million (ppm) 1 mg/lb = 2.2 ppm 1 mg = 1,000 micrograms (mcg) 1 mcg/lb = 2 mg/ton To Convert mg/g to mg/lb - multiply by 454 mcg/g to mg/g - divide by 1,000 mcg/g to mg/lb - divide by 1,000 mg/lb to mcg/g - divide by 0.454 mg/lb to ppm - multiply by 2.2 g/lb to % - divide by 4.54 % to g/lb - multiply by 4.54 General Directions For Use (1oz of OCSY provides 200 mcg of Cr and 200 mcg of Se) Horses: 3/4 to 1 oz per/head/day Ponies: ¼ to ½ oz per/head/day Note: Adding a bit of raw honey or molasses enhances the flavor for finicky horses. This will also allow the powdered product to stick and adhere to the grains and will prevent settling to the bottom of feeding bowls. Status: Food Grade Ingredients Horses 3/4 to 1 oz per/head/day (approx. 60 day supply) Item No. OCSY 200-2 Equine Brewers Yeast (100% Pure Live Food Grade Yeast) Bio-Yeast: One of the only live yeasts human food grade yeasts processed and grown by aerobic fermentation, for use in equine feeds. The residual medium (molasses) on which our selected strains are grown, are completely washed and removed during harvesting. This provides the user the highest purity and quality available in equine grade yeasts. Bio-Yeast: Is vacuum packed, to conserve it's microbiological properties. On a cost / to use ratio, Bio-Yeast is one of the most economical and effective sources of live yeast culture for all of your feed mix needs. Bio-Yeast: Contains complete living organisms with a minimum plate count of 20 billion/per/gram Yeasts have been used for decades, as natural dietary supplements and are believed to contain growth and stimulatory factors in animal feeding applications.The benefits of yeast are not totally defined, however indications point to numerous advantages in the animal feed industry.
