BlogEmpowering the gut efficiency of fattening pigs to optimize production costs with live yeastAround 70% of the feed price is determined by the costs of energy supplying feedstuff. Therefore, optimizing pig energy metabolism and its physiological status to extract as much energy as possible from the feed nutrients is a leverage to increase producer profitability. Until now, the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 (LEVUCELL SB) has […]

BlogGrowing forage for silage under unpredictable weather conditionsThe past decade has seen the number of extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts and floods increase significantly, and this trend is predicted to stay. This makes growing forages for animal feed less predictable, both in terms of quality and yields, resulting in greater costs. Adaptations in agronomical practices, and the forage plants used, […]

BlogBiofilms: friends or foes?Biofilm is a way of life for bacteria. They are spatially organized microbial communities with emerging properties in comparison to the free-floating form. Microorganisms inside the biofilm are embedded in a self-produced matrix that gives a three-dimensional structure to the population. For example, this structure leads to the appearance of gradients making the microorganisms living […]

BlogOPTIWALL: A new yeast cell wall supplement that supports broilers during vaccinationsCoccidiosis remains a major threat in poultry production, and live coccidiosis vaccines are gaining ground as a strategy to help reduce antimicrobial and coccidiostat use. However, growing evidence reports negative impacts of the vaccines on broiler performance. A pilot study explored the potential of a new yeast cell wall (YCW) supplement, OPTIWALL, to mitigate the […]
