BlogLactobacillus buchneri 40788 improves aerobic stability of sugar-rich grassSugar-rich grasses such as bermudagrass can represent a real challenge for silage preservation. A trial by the University of Florida confirms that Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788-based inoculants can improve the aerobic stability of bermudagrass silage and other sugar-rich forages.

White PapersPreserving live yeast viability through pelleting processes and feed storageWhen selecting a probiotic yeast, it is crucial to ensure the live yeast will survive feed or premix processing; tolerate the combination of other ingredients; and endure storage prior to reaching the animal. Thanks to continuous investments in process development, scientists at Lallemand Animal Nutrition have developed a unique patented yeast protection technology, TITAN, that […]

Blog3 questions to Jean-François Hupé about TITAN technologyWhat is TITAN technology? “TITAN is a live yeast protection technology specifically adapted for pelleted feed applications. TITAN includes a unique and patented yeast microencapsulation technology, but TITAN is not only about coating. The development of this technology is a truly integrated approach. We optimized the fermentation and drying conditions and each downstream processing steps […]

BlogMaize silage feeding after drought condition – part 3/3IV. Yeasts, molds and mycotoxins risks In drought conditions there is a significantly higher risk of yeast contamination . In a US trial 28% of 183 drought affected maize samples had yeast counts above 10,000,000 CFU/g. Risk of decreasing feed intake due to alcohol production, DM losses, reduced energy and high nitrate content. Risk of […]

BlogMaize silage feeding after drought condition – part 2/3II. Nitrates content When plant growth is affected by adverse growing conditions or when excessive amounts of nitrogen are available in the soil, nitrates not converted to protein then accumulate in the plant stems and leaves. Nitrates are converted to Nitrites, which interfere with the hemoglobin in the animal, reducing the normal transport of oxygen […]

BlogMaize silage feeding after drought condition – part 1/3I. Maize Nutritional characteristics grown in drought conditions Under drought stressed conditions we observed: Lower yields Dry Matter (DM) content variation: In field and between fields and so in the silo Energy content: Feed value is approximatively 80%, but varies between 70% and 100% Low level of starch: can be lower than 10% DM basis […]
