LALLEMAND WILL DOUBLE TITAN MICROENCAPSULATED YEAST PRODUCTION CAPACITY BY YEAR


END To meet growing market demand for the premium protected live yeasts LEVUCELL SC TITAN and LEVUCELL SB TITAN, Lallemand Animal Nutrition is expanding the production capacity of its dedicated yeast production plant in Józefów, Poland. Major investments have been made to double both yeast drying and micro-encapsulation capacities. TITAN is a patented live yeast protection technology specifically designed for pelleted feed applications. TITAN yeast production capacity is expected to double by the end of 2019. Yannig Le Treut, General Manager for


Lallemand Animal Nutrition commented: “This represents one of our major investments in production facilities of the past decade. Since the launch of the TITAN technology 10 years ago, we have seen a tremendous growth in the demand. We used to produce all our live yeast products in one plant. Then, we extended this production to five yeast plants in Canada, South Africa and Europe, including two European facilities dedicated to TITAN microencapsulation. Today, TITAN forms of our live yeast products represent much more than 50% of the total supply. This growing demand has been fueled by an increase in pelleted feed production, even in markets where mash feed was traditionally the main feed form. Moreover, as the pelleting processes are becoming increasingly stringent to answer feed quality and safety standards, it is a real challenge for heat sensitive feed additives. Feed producers and premixers need stable probiotics that can withstand such pelleting processes and remain stable during storage. We are committed to offering the market the best yeast product”.


FORFARMERS COMBINES DUTCH PRODUCTION ORGANIC FEED AT


REUDINK LOCATION Reudink, an entity within the ForFarmers group and active in organic feed, acquired Van Gorp Biologische Voeders B.V. (Van Gorp Bio) in October 2018. As of 1 July next, ForFarmers will transfer the production activities of Van Gorp Bio, which currently take place in Schalkwijk, to the production location of Reudink in Lochem. In addition, Van Gorp Bio will continue to work under the brand name Reudink as of this date. This decision is in line with the announced


efficiency plans of ForFarmers, which include the objective to, wherever possible, combine production locations and enhance the supply chain in general. No decision has as yet been taken on a possible future use for the mill in Schalkwijk.


GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DAIRY SECTOR POST-BREXIT BUT UNCERTAINTY IS CRIPPLING, SAYS


NFU There are great opportunities for the dairy sector post-Brexit but crippling uncertainty about the UK’s departure from the EU is holding industry back, according to NFU dairy board chairman Michael Oakes. Mr Oakes will be speaking as part of a


panel debate at the Eucolait dairy conference in Edinburgh. He said: “The EU is the largest


international trading partner for the UK dairy sector. Between 2013 - 2017 more than 90% of UK dairy exports were sent to the EU, highlighting the significance of our future relationship. “Dairy farming, like all businesses,


requires long-term planning. But after months of negotiation, we still haven’t got any certainty about our future which is hugely damaging. This means investment is being put on hold and essential jobs are not being filled. “We’re still in the dark about what trading


environment we will be operating under and whether we will have access to a sufficient workforce to carry out essential roles on our dairy farms, or what the UK’s future domestic agricultural policy will look like. “While the UK is a net importer of dairy


Jean-François Hupé, R&D Manager,


Product and Process Development, explained: “TITAN includes a patented yeast microencapsulation technology, but TITAN is not only about coating. The development of this technology is a truly integrated approach. We optimized both the fermentation and drying conditions and each downstream processing step to ensure optimal resistance and viability of the live yeast in customer applications. We invested in each step of the production process, from fermentation to packaging.”


products, there is demand around the world for the great quality food we are producing here. Our dairy farmers are keen to make the most of this, but we must not be undermined by Government trade policy which ignores our own high environmental, animal welfare and food safety standards, and ultimately fails to recognise the importance of domestic milk production. “Once we have certainty about our


future relationship with the EU, we need Government to look at how it can support the growth of the British dairy sector by helping us access key markets and invest in domestic processing capacity to allow the industry to meet demand.”


UNIQUE US FACILITY BEGINS PRODUCTION OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS FOR SUSTAINABLE


SALMON FARMING Following a construction period of just two years, a joint venture between Evonik and DSM has today commissioned its globally unique production plant in the US. Through the fermentative manufacture of natural marine algae, the new plant produces a special algal oil that contains the key omega-3 fatty acids needed for healthy salmon farming. The two parent companies of the 50:50


joint venture named Veramaris, have invested a total of 200 million US dollars in equal parts for the construction of the plant in Blair, Nebraska. The initial algal oil produced at the plant can sustainably supply approximately 15 percent of the annual demand the global salmon-farming industry has for the two omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The unique process developed by Evonik and DSM enables the manufacture of EPA and DHA for salmon feed for the first time without using any fish oil from wild-caught fish.


CAN THE EFFECTS OF LIVE YEAST oN A SoW’S mIcroBIotA


BENEFIT THE PIGLET? New metagenomics results presented at IPC 2019 confirm the concept of maternal imprinting At the latest International Scientific Conference on Probiotics, Prebiotics, Gut Microbiota and Health (IPC 2019) Lallemand Animal Nutrition shared new metagenomics data on swine gut microbiota. A presentation was delivered by Caroline Achard, Ph.D., as part of the Animal Health Symposium during the conference. Using the latest high-throughput sequencing techniques in partnership with the INRA Genotoul platform, this study revealed the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii CNCM-I 1079 supplementation on sows’ microbiota and the lasting influence this has on weanling piglet performance. Dr. Achard explains: “In the context


of swine production and of a more careful use of antimicrobials, it is critical to get a better understanding of the link between the digestive microbiota and animal health and performance. In this study, we showed evidence of the beneficial effects of a well described probiotic yeast on the sow’s microbiota, in particular to limit the intestinal microbiota dysbiosis during the peri-partum phase. Those microbiota modulation results also confirmed the concept of maternal imprinting and helped explain why feeding the probiotic to the sow has also a positive impact on piglets’ performance.”
