For a decade, only the adaptive immune system was described as the ability to remember the pathogens it had already encountered. More recently, innate immunity has been shown to adapt after its first contact with a pathogen, demonstrating an enhanced immune response to a second unrelated immune challenge (vaccines, bacteria…) called trained immunity. This immune training is characterised as an enhanced state of the innate immune responses.
Some 1.3/1.6 beta-glucans, isolated from yeast, are among the few molecules which are able to induce trained immunity. Safglucan® is one of the most promising complementary tools in the animal preventive care arsenal, helping to protect health in many species, including pets, cattle, swine, poultry, and farmed fish.
By helping to offer animals better immunity, and therefore a limited use of antibiotics, Safglucan® guarantees quality animal production, limits breeding costs and contributes to the One Health concept.
Responding to the needs of our customers
Safglucan® benefits for the animals
1. Safglucan® boosts natural defences
The highly purified yeast wall extracts of Safglucan® can promote innate immunity and thus improve animal health and welfare
2. Safglucan® strengthens vaccine response
Training innate immunity with Safglucan® delivers synergistic effects with standard vaccination protocols and helps animals be ready to fight pathogen attacks.
3. Safglucan® can be used for all species: ruminants, poultry, swine, farmed fish, horses, and pets
Safglucan® benefits for farmers
1. Safglucan® supports animal health, inducing an immune training effect during a pathogenic challenge, causing less morbidity as a result
2. Safglucan®, included in a vaccination programme, induces strong and long-lasting immune protection of the animal, giving the farmer peace of mind
3. Through improvement of the animal’s immunity, Safglucan® promotes the better maintenance of biosecurity control, therefore limiting the use of antibiotics and other curative treatments
Safglucan® promising results in several animal trials by enhancing:
1. Immune training induction
2. Vaccine response potentiation
3. Fast and durable protection
Composition of Safglucan®
Phileo’s innovative nutritional and health solution Safglucan® is composed of a purified fraction with a minimum of 50% of 1.3/1.6 beta-glucans extracted from a primary grown probiotic yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a controlled process.
Mode of action of Safglucan® purified yeast fraction concentrated in 1.3/1.6 beta-glucans
Beta-glucans can be extracted from several natural sources, such as yeasts, algae, cereals, and fungi. Safglucan®, under a specific purification process, has been analysed in our laboratories to determine the length and the frequency of 1.3/1.6 beta-glucans ratio branching and its physicochemical properties.
Phileo’s selection of Safglucan® is based on its mode of action on immune cell models and the results of animal trials to confirm its benefits. Safglucan®, recognised by the immune system, induces various immune responses. When training innate immune cells by exposure to Safglucan®, they respond more efficiently to infections and contribute to vaccination improvement .
