Did you know you can optimize your pig's energy efficiency?

When animals have a good rest… so do the farmers! A clean and healthy farrowing pen is key for the welfare and health of newborn piglets. As part of its animal environment range, Lallemand Animal Nutrition has developed a bacterial-based solution designed to positively influence the microbial ecosystem within animal environment: EAZYBED PRO. We’ve seen […]

Heat stress is becoming a growing issue in swine production as the temperatures are globally increasing, costing the swine industry millions in losses every year. Pigs adapt their behavior to better face heat stress by reducing their feed intake and consequently slowing down their growth. Among other effects, gut functions are becoming secondary and less […]

If the commercial production of baker’s yeast goes back as far as the end of the 19th Century, the production of carefully selected yeast strains, as used for animal nutrition purposes is much more recent and based on technological and industrial advances. Optimal yeast production could be compared to the optimal production of livestock animals. […]

Caroline Achard, Ph.D., Research Scientist at the Lallemand Monogastric Center of Excellence   Is there a clear relationship between the microbiota profile and the animal’s response to heat stress? How can this be interpreted? In our study, we demonstrated that heat stress modulated the gut microbiota composition in pigs. Heat stressed pigs notably showed increased […]
