Analyst Perspective / Insight

“In the updated Beta-glucans from Yeast Market report for 2026 to 2036, my team and I have analyzed how immune modulation strategies are replacing prophylactic antibiotic use across aquaculture and livestock. MacroGard’s yeast-derived beta-glucans are gaining commercial momentum because they activate innate immune pathways without contributing to antimicrobial resistance concerns. Producers that document measurable health and survival rate improvements will secure long-term integration into feed premix portfolios.” — Nandini Roy Choudhury, Principal Consultant, Food & Beverage, Future Market Insights
