The plant

Yucca schidigera: what are we talking about?

Yucca schidigera is a yucca of desert areas. To make an extract, its trunk is crushed and pressed and the juice is concentrated; it is also often called a root extract, out of habit. The extract is rich in saponins, which are surface-active molecules, and in phenolic compounds specific to the plant.

It is sold in two forms: yucca schidigera powder, which is the dried and ground plant, and yucca schidigera extract, liquid or dried. Yucca has been used in animal feed for decades, mostly in poultry and pig feed, including feed for chickens.

Linkamo is not a pure extract: it combines yucca extract with a ferment, as a fine semolina that goes into the feed like a raw material.

Frequently asked questions

Is Linkamo a pure yucca extract?

No. Linkamo combines Yucca schidigera extract with a ferment, as a fine semolina that mixes into feed. The data sheet gives the full description, on request.

Yucca powder or yucca extract: what is the difference?

The powder is the dried, ground plant, with all its fibre. The extract comes from the pressing juice of the trunk, concentrated: it gathers the saponins and phenolic compounds into a smaller volume.

Is Linkamo suitable for pets?

No: Linkamo is designed for pig and poultry feed, and its rates are set for those species.
