Lavi-Yucca ^®

Yucca schidigera is rich in Saponins and phenolic compounds that have antioxidant effects, with high levels of steroidal and antioxidant compounds. Yucca is applied mainly to reduce the levels of ammonia emissions in aquaculture ponds due to its content of steroidal saponin fractions, which has surface-active properties and can bind to ammonia via glycol-component fractions. The reduced levels of accumulated ammonia would result in the balance of protein metabolism in the fish body and a reduction in energy consumption. Hence, the feed utilization, growth performance, and physiological status of aquatic species can be improved using yucca. Additionally, yucca application results in the enhancement of the antioxidative, immunological and anti-inflammatory responses in several aquatic animals. Lavi-Yucca has blended with plant extract of yucca, probiotics and enzymes for controlling toxic gases produced from the polluted pond beds.
