NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2022 11 New paper: Live yeast improves pigs’ resistance to heat stress According to a paper published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 improves pigs’ resistance to heat stress through improved feeding behavior and metabolism. A recently published paper in the British Journal of Nutrition gives further insight into the benefits of the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 (LEVUCELL SB) on pig performance during heat stress. The study was conducted in partnership with the INRAE team of Etienne Labussière, David Renaudeau, and doctoral student Aira Maye Serviento. The paper detailed their trial with fattening pigs in simulated heat stress. “Aira Maye Serviento collaborated with us for the past three years conducting her Ph.D., and I’d like to congratulate her for her hard work and thesis. Her work brings a significant contribution to our understanding of the effect of heat stress on pigs and deeper insights on the mechanisms of the probiotic yeast to mitigate it,” comments Mathieu Castex, R&D Director for Lallemand Animal Nutrition. "The benefit of LEVUCELL SB to the ability of growing pigs to cope with heat stress has already been documented, and more recent studies indicated a positive effect at the microbiota level. The present study aimed at investigating whether the live yeast had an effect on feeding behavior and energy metabolism," Lallemand Animal Nutrition said in a statement. Si-Ware partners with AB Vista to offer NeoSpectra platform to animal feed industry NeoSpectra by Si-Ware, the creator of NeoSpectra material analysis solutions FT-NIR spectrometers, announced a partnership with AB Vista, a global leader in feed additive products and technical services to animal feed and farming sectors, to offer their customers a complete portable NIR solution based on the NeoSpectra platform. The complete solution will include industry-leading NeoSpectra Scanners, world-class mobile apps, secure cloud portal for data reporting and evaluation, and AB Vista INGOT calibrations for feed ingredients, compound feeds and forages. The NeoSpectra platform has created the first and largest LabStore in the market, offering thousands of calibration models to users from trusted partners around the globe such as labs, researchers, and universities. In April 2022, Aunir, the NIR calibration division of AB Vista and the world’s largest independent calibration provider, partnered with NeoSpectra to offer INGOT calibrations as one of the trusted partners on the NeoSpectra LabStore. The AB Vista INGOT calibrations through the NeoSpectra platform will soon be available to AB Vista customers in the USA and Canada direct from their local AB Vista technical service representative.
