How beneficial is live yeast in pig feeds?

The use of live yeast in animals to improve nutrition has become more popular with increasing pressure on the use of and - in Europe - the ban on antibiotics. French yeast and probiotics specialist Lesaffre Feed Additives (LFA) in early November gathered more than 250 attendants for its International Nutrition Symposium in Lille, France focusing on the use of live yeast in pig nutrition.
Some 250 attendees came to the Lesaffre Feed Additives symposium on the use of live yeast in pig diets. ... read more »

Controlling hygiene in liquid feeding systems

Liquid feeding systems are widely used in Europe and in recent years became very popular in North America and other regions of the world. This trend is most probably not only driven by the positive effect of liquid feeding on performance, but also by extremely high feed prices and the increase in biofuel production, which makes cheap mainly moist by-products available in high amounts. However, in order to achieve the benefits in performance high hygiene standards have to be maintained. read more >

Impact of live yeast on microflora establishment of the foal’s gut

Most foals will experience at least one episode of diarrhoea before reaching six months. Infectious diarrhoeas (viral or bacterial) are very common and can lead to health problems. Extra care must be taken to preserve the foal’s digestive equilibrium and microflora balance to avoid such consequences. Field trials performed in horses and foals and the good understanding of S. boulardii’s modes of action indicate a real potential of this live yeast to help control diarrhoeas in foals. read more >

Balancing the equine hindgut flora with live yeast

Like the ruminant, the horse has evolved to be able to use grass and forages as a source of food due to the presence of fibre digesting organisms in its gut. It is therefore important to maintain a stable microbial population to ensure healthy gut function. This may be achieved by using live yeast in the diet which can improve the gut environment, promote the growth of fibre-digesting microbes, stabilise the normal flora and reduce the incidence of hindgut acidosis. read more >
