NEWS 76 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2022 Lallemand launches YELA PROSECURE Lallemand Animal Nutrition has launched YELA PROSECURE, a specifically designed hydrolyzed yeast, offering highly digestible and functional nutrients that support animal performance, digestive care and feed palatability while contributing to the feed protein balance. YELA PROSECURE is an innovative feed material (Regulation (EU) No 68/2013) that can be used in all animal species. “At Lallemand, we have been working on the screening of different feed-grade yeast biomasses and on the optimization of their production process, which led to the development of YELA PROSECURE,” the company said in a statement. “A controlled hydrolysis process is applied with the addition of specifically selected exogenous enzymes to the biomass, ensuring high nutrient digestibility and functionality while being reliable and volume available.” YELA PROSECURE provides functional nutrients with a dual action: 1. In the upper gut: highly digestible proteins, high level of free digestible amino acids and small peptides, early and fast amino acids absorption kinetic. 2. In the lower gut: fermentable carbohydrates inducing a late energy release. Animal trials conducted on commercial and research farms have confirmed the value of YELA PROSECURE in improving animal performances and farm profitability.
