“…Barry et al., found a reduction in E. coli in cat feed supplemented with 4% FOS. However, these findings are in contrast with studies conducted in dogs and cats fed different prebiotics (FOS, MOS, xylo‐oligosaccharides [XOS], GOS and YCW); in those studies, the authors did not find a reduction in potentially pathogenic bacteria (Aquino et al., ; Kanakupt et al., ; Middelbos, Fastinger, & Fahey, ; Strickling et al., ; Swanson, Grieshop, Flickinger, Bauer, Healy, et al, ).…”

“…Studies evaluating the inclusion of yeast cell wall (YCW) in foods for pets have been mainly concentrated in dogs (Strickling, Harmon, Dawson, & Gross, ), in which modulation of faecal microbiota, fermentation products, such as SCFA, and nutrient digestibility have been demonstrated. In felines, studies are scarce, although some do exist (Aquino et al., , ). In the existing studies, however, YCW was included in a wet mixture that was added to a extruded diet to make the experimental diets, thus changing its dietary characteristics; moreover, the evaluation of fermentation products did not include BCFA or BAs, only products from the metabolism of carbohydrates.…”

This study evaluated the effects of increasing concentrations of spray-dried yeast cell wall (YCW) in diets for healthy adult cats on apparent nutrient digestibility and on bacterial composition and fermentation products in the stool. Fourteen cats with an average weight of 4.40 ± 1.05 kg and an average age of 6.2 ± 0.54 years were used and assigned to treatments in an unbalanced randomized block design (by experimental period) with two blocks and three or four cats per diet in each block. Treatments included: control (0% YCW), 0.2% YCW, 0.4% YCW and 0.6% YCW, totalling seven animals per experimental diet. We found that YCW did not affect body weight, nutrient and food intake, faecal production, faecal score, faecal pH or urine output (p > .05). Regarding faecal bacteria, we observed a linear reduction in Clostridium perfringens, a quadratic reduction in Escherichia coli, and linear increases in Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. (p < .05) with the inclusion of YCW. Regarding the faecal short-chain fatty acid profile, butyrate, valerate, total biogenic amines, putrescine, cadaverine and histamine increased linearly (p < .05) with the inclusion of YCW. It was concluded that in healthy adult cats, consumption of YCW modulates the faecal bacterial populations, with an increased presence of beneficial bacteria and a reduction in some potentially pathogenic bacteria. It was concluded that YCW modulated the levels of fermentation products. There was an increase in fermentation products coming from carbohydrate metabolism, an important effect that can potentially benefit the intestinal health of cats. The consumption of YCW also increased the fermentation of nitrogen compounds, which have not yet been defined as deleterious or beneficial. The fermentability of carbohydrates and nitrogen compounds may be associated. Therefore, YCW may cause rapid fermentation of both classes of compounds by enhancing the fermentability of one class.

“…In addition some authors (Freimund et al 2005;Pinto et al 2015) reported that the chemical composition of the yeast cell walls, in terms of ether extract, crude protein and crude fibre, is highly affected by the starting materials but also by the production process. The differences in nutrient composition noticeably affect the functional effect when cat diets are supplemented with yeast cell wall (Aquino et al 2013;Santos et al 2018). As a consequence, it is quite difficult to predict the real effects of a new functional product and to compare the results of different studies using supplementations based on yeast cell wall, because their availability and fermentability in the large intestine could differ a lot.…”

Yeast cell wall are a source of prebiotics in animal nutrition, able to improve microbial function in the large intestine. The purpose of this paper was to compare the fermentability of six Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) cell wall obtained from three production processes (alcoholic, brewers and bakers). For each production process the two aliquots characterised by the highest the lowest carbohydrate levels were selected. In order to perform the in vitro trial, each SC substrate was incubated at 39 C under anaerobic condition for 72 h, using cat faecal inoculum. The results showed that the production processes did not affect organic matter disappearance, while significantly (p < .01) influenced cumulative volume of gas which appeared the lowest for alcoholic substrates. The alcoholic SC substrate showed significantly highest (p < .01) fermentation rate. All SCFA were affected by the production processes (p < .01). In particular, brewers substrates showed the highest acetate and butyrate production, while the fermentation of SC cell wall obtained by bakers showed the highest production of valerate, iso-butyrate and iso-valerate. Considering the high fermentability and acetate and butyrate production, the SC cell wall obtained by brewers seem more suitable to be used as prebiotic in cat diet. The bakers extract seems less advisable, due to its less fermentability at which corresponded the highest production of gas and iso-butyrate and iso-valerate, which are considered the less desirable end-products. The study underlines that it is necessary to evaluate the fermentation characteristics of these ingredients before their use in diet formulation as source of prebiotics. HIGHLIGHTS The production process affects the in vitro fermentation parameters differently from the carbohydrate's concentration. The production processes significantly influenced cumulative volume of gas and all short chain fatty acids production. The SC cell walls obtained by brewers seem more suitable to be used as prebiotic in cat diet and the bakers extract seems the less advisable.

Yeast Saccharomyces and its derivatives have been largely used in livestock and poultry nutrition for their potential positive impact on growth, performance, and general health. Originally included in animal diets as a source of protein, yeasts can also offer a wide range of by-products with interesting bioactive compounds that would confer uses beyond nutrition. Although its supplementation in livestock, poultry and even in humans is well documented, the available body of literature on the use of yeast and its derivatives in companion animals’ food, mainly dogs and cats’ diets, is still developing. Despite this, gut microbiota modulation, immune system enhancement or decreasing of potentially pathogenic microorganisms have been reported in pets when using these products, highlighting their possible role as probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. This review attempts to provide the reader with a comprehensive on the effects of Saccharomyces and its derivatives in pets and the possible mechanisms that confer their functional properties.
