Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Aren’t all yeast-based feed products basically the same?

A. For 60 years, producers have been offered yeast-based products with nebulas performance claims. It was pretty much accepted that fermented yeast improved livestock digestion and health, but no one knew why. Then Vi-COR® came along and made the conscious decision to not be another me-too, cheap yeast product manufacturer. We made a commitment to understand yeast and the reason it works. Through a decade of university research, in-house laboratory testing and field trial work, we now know more than ever why yeast products work. Through our commitment to research, Vi-COR is at the forefront of industry developments. Our unique product, Celmanax®, is a testament to the fact that yeast is not a commodity. Through Celmanax, we have accomplished what the old guard said couldn’t be done. We offer leading-edge technology—the most concentrated, university tested, field proven product available—with a guarantee of metabolite levels. And we offer it in both dry and liquid forms. Vi-COR is proof that all yeast—and all companies—are not equal.
