IMW50® is a yeast cell wall extract which is highly concentrated in β-glucans (> 35%), while still offering excellent levels of mannan-oligosaccharide, MOS (19%). MOS is known for its capacity to agglutinate pathogens, and it will prevent the colonization in the gut as it offers a binding site to harmful bacteria that possess type 1 fimbriae present in the intestinal tract. The β-glucans present in IMW50® (β-1,3 and 1,6) modulate the innate immune system response, resulting in greater protection for the intestinal cells and better response to the challenges.
IMW50® was approved and is recommended by Walmart in US as a part of non- antibiotic feed additives program called Walmart “Best in Class” Fresh Shell Egg Program for laying hens, after 2 years of evaluation of several products.
