The next generation of fiber is no longer just fiber, it is PleuroCell®
PleuroCell® is a feed additive made by solid-state fermentation of fiber by fungus. Fungal fibers are mostly soluble fibers with biological activity, which are completely different from plant fibers.
Unlike plant fibers which are mostly insoluble and only function in stimulating bowel movements, fungal fibers can balance the immune system and improve the gut flora.
Fungal fiber is the most economical way to replace part of the wood chip fiber and the dietary fiber content is more than that of fruits and vegetables.
