Soy Isoflavones

Soy isoflavones are a class of naturally occurring phytoestrogens primarily found in soybeans and soy products. Due to their structural similarity to estrogen, they can bind to estrogen receptors (ERα/ERβ) in animals, thereby regulating physiological functions. In livestock, aquaculture, and pet nutrition, soy isoflavones are widely used for their multiple bioactive properties.

Why animal need soy isoflavones?

product detail

1. Promoting Growth and Protein Metabolism

  • Enhancing protein synthesis: Soy isoflavones activate the mTOR signaling pathway, promoting muscle growth and improving feed conversion efficiency.

  • Increasing digestive enzyme activity: In monogastric animals (e.g., pigs, poultry), they enhance the secretion of trypsin and amylase, improving nutrient absorption.

  • Reducing fat deposition: By modulating PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma), they decrease abdominal fat accumulation and improve carcass quality.

2. Regulating Reproductive Performance

(1) Female Animals

  • Promoting follicular development: By mimicking estrogen, they increase ovulation rate and litter size/egg production in sows and laying hens.

  • Extending reproductive lifespan: They delay ovarian aging, improving fertility in older breeding females.

(2) Male Animals

  • Improving sperm quality: Moderate supplementation enhances sperm concentration and motility in boars and roosters, though excessive intake may inhibit testosterone secretion.

3. Enhancing Immunity and Disease Resistance

  • Antioxidant effects: Soy isoflavones (especially genistein) scavenge free radicals and increase the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase), reducing oxidative stress.

  • Anti-inflammatory effects: They inhibit the NF-κB pathway, lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and reducing intestinal inflammation.

  • Improving gut health: They promote the growth of beneficial bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) while inhibiting pathogens (e.g., E. coli), enhancing gut barrier function.

4. Improving Lactation Performance (Dairy Cows, Sows)

  • Increasing milk yield: By regulating prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH), they stimulate mammary cell proliferation.

  • Enhancing milk quality: They reduce somatic cell count (SCC) in milk while increasing milk protein and fat content.

5. Anti-Stress Effects

  • Alleviating heat stress: Under high-temperature conditions, they reduce cortisol levels, maintaining feed intake and growth performance.

  • Reducing transport/weaning stress: By modulating the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), they stabilize animal behavior and emotional responses.
