Viable yeast product for swine feeds in Canada

Lallemand Animal Nutrition is pleased to introduce REVELATE™ to Canadian swine producers. This viable microbial product, Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079, is a unique, naturally occurring viable yeast scientifically selected and fed to help support a balanced digestive system in swine.

 

Ernest Keith, PhD, Monogastrics Product Manager, Lallemand Animal Nutrition says this introduction should be welcome news for Canadian swine producers.

 

“This viable microbial product, Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079, has been shown to help maintain the natural physiological balance in the large and small intestine, especially during periods of stress,” Keith says. “It helps maintain optimal nutritional status, which can positively impact the intestinal equilibrium.”

 

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has granted REVELATE two claims under the registration numbers 480636 and 480637. When fed as directed:

• Throughout gestation of sows, REVELATE improves weight gain in piglets,
• To piglets, REVELATE improves weight gain.

 

REVELATE was previously marketed as LEVUCELL® SB; however the name was changed to work more effectively with the CFIA. Keith says, the manufacturing quality the Canadian market has come to expect from Lallemand has not changed, just the product name to better comply with CFIA regulations.

 

“As a primary manufacturer of yeast and bacteria, Lallemand Animal Nutrition is dedicated to the development, production and marketing of natural and differentiated solutions for animal nutrition,” Keith explains.
