摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a nutrition additive for use for the prevention of intestinal diseases, in which method brewery yeast is filtered and the filtered brewery yeast is treated hydrolytically so that the cellular structure breaks open and the effective concentration of oligo- and/or polysaccharides, betaglucane and/or proteins on the surface of the cellular structures is increased. Moreover, the invention relates to a nutrition additive produced by treating filtered brewery yeast by a hydrolytic process so that the cellular structure breaks open. In addition, the invention relates to the use of a nutrition additive in connection with the feeding of animals, the additive being used in an amount of 0.1 - 1.0 w-% of the total amount of raw material. The invention also relates to the use of the nutrition additive in question for humans for balancing intestinal microbes and preventing intestinal diseases.
