NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE August 2024 9 Lallemand Animal Nutrition shared results of a new study at the Asian Pacific Aquaculture (APA) conference in Indonesia earlier this month. According to the study, A 42-day trial in Vietnam using whiteleg shrimp juveniles confirmed the efficacy of microbiota modulation strategies and their potential to improve shrimp growth performance and robustness during growth stage. The research titled “In-feed Probiotics and Water Bioremediation Improved Growth, Biomass, Survival, Water Chemistry and Microbiota in Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Vietnam,” presented by Ana Rodiles, research scientist at Lallemand Animal Nutrition focuses on the shrimp grow-out period and reveals that the use of specific bioremediation bacteria in water and in-feed probiotics represent an efficient solution in the context of reducing the use of antibiotics to support shrimp performance and shrimp resilience to an abiotic stress. A previous study led by Rodiles demonstrated the benefits of a combined approach using a selected mix of beneficial microbial solutions in feed and bioremediation bacteria in rearing water during shrimp hatchery and nursery phases, according to Lallemand Internal Research (2020). The 42-day grow-out trial was performed in Vietnam using whiteleg shrimp juveniles reared at high density in outdoor tanks with low water exchange under commercial-like conditions. Four treatments were applied: a control group, an antibiotic group (ABX), a Lallemand group (LAL - LALPACK Probio and LALPACK Immune supplementation in the feed and LALSEA Biorem in pond water), and a combined antibiotic + Lallemand group (LAL+ABX).

A huge leap forward for the cultivated meat industry, gaining regulatory approval also makes Meatly the first-ever cultivated meat company approved for sale in any European country, according to the announcement. Commenting on the announcement, Owen Ensor, Meatly CEO said: “Today marks a significant milestone for the European cultivated meat industry. I’m incredibly proud that Meatly is the first company in Europe to get the green light to sell cultivated meat. We are proving that there is a safe and low-capital way to rapidly bring cultivated meat to market.” “We’re delighted to have worked proactively alongside the UK’s regulators to showcase that Meatly chicken is safe and healthy for pets. Pet parents are crying out for a better way to feed their cats and dogs meat – we’re so excited to meet this demand.
