As probiotics, fungi enhance animal health and are suitable animal feed additives. In addition to brewing fungi, there are also edible and medicinal fungi. Common fungi utilized in feeding programs include , spp., and . These fungi are rich in glucans, polysaccharides, polyphenols, triterpenes, ergosterol, adenosine, and laccases. These functional components play important roles in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and immune system regulation. As such, fungal feed additives could be of potential use when breeding livestock. In previous studies, fungal feed additives enhanced body weight and egg production in poultry and improved the feed conversion rate. Several mycotoxins can be produced by hazardous fungi but fortunately, the cell walls constituents and enzymes of fungal probiotics can also act to decrease the toxicity of mycotoxins. Overall, fungal feed additives are of value, but their safety and usage must be studied further, including cost-benefit economic analyses.
作为益生菌，真菌可增强动物健康，是合适的动物饲料添加剂。除了酿造用真菌外，还有食用和药用真菌。在饲养计划中常用的真菌包括、 spp.和。这些真菌富含葡聚糖、多糖、多酚、三萜、麦角固醇、腺苷和漆酶。这些功能成分在抗氧化、抗炎、抗肥胖和免疫系统调节中发挥重要作用。因此，真菌饲料添加剂在养殖家畜时可能具有潜在用途。在先前的研究中，真菌饲料添加剂提高了家禽的体重和产蛋量，并提高了饲料转化率。一些有害真菌可产生几种霉菌毒素，但幸运的是，真菌益生菌的细胞壁成分和酶也可起到降低霉菌毒素毒性的作用。总体而言，真菌饲料添加剂具有价值，但其安全性和使用方法必须进一步研究，包括成本效益经济分析。
