ARTICLE FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2024 87 layer, effectively shielding them from the damaging effects of heat, pressure and mechanical energy. This unique and patented micro-encapsulation process preserves the integrity and potency of the yeasts, ensuring they remain intact and are delivered to animals in the most effective manner possible. The production process of TITAN technology is meticulously adapted to ensure the optimal resistance and viability of live yeast, from fermentation and drying to downstream processing and packaging. TITAN technology can withstand elevated temperatures, pressures, moisture levels and ingredient stresses that would inactivate the live yeast if not well processed and protected. This technology allows feed manufacturers to push the boundaries of processing efficiency and pellet quality without compromising yeast viability. A key strength of TITAN lies in its adaptability, specifically developed for various feed production processes, including pelleting. Pelleting, which compresses feed into dense pellets for improved handling, storage, and digestibility, subjects the feed to intense pressure and heat, potentially degrading sensitive ingredients such as live microorganisms. TITAN technology is designed to withstand these conditions, preserving the effectiveness of the live yeast and supporting optimal gut health and performance. ENSURING CONSISTENT NUTRIENTS AT EACH BITE Effective application and a tailored approach are crucial for achieving optimal results when using live yeast probiotics in animal feed, even with innovative technologies like LEVUCELL SC vermicelli, LEVUCELL SC MICROBEAD* and LEVUCELL SC TITAN serving as the foundation for viability solutions. Lallemand Animal Nutrition works closely with feed producers to audit their manufacturing processes, identify potential fail points, and recommend the most suitable yeast probiotic form for each unique scenario. The choice of probiotic form depends on various factors, including the specific equipment used, feed formulation and processing parameters, underscoring the importance of understanding that there is no one-sizefits-all solution. Lallemand Animal Nutrition leverages extensive expertise and a collaborative approach to tailor recommendations that maximize yeast viability, adapting to a wide range of ruminant feeding systems, including mineral feed, licking buckets, liquid molasses, liquid feed like milk replacers, on-farm total mixed ration (TMR), pellets, and more. This collaboration also involves developing validation plans tailored to specific feed production conditions, ensuring that the benefits of live microorganism adLallemand Yeast Culture Collection Packaging and Labelling titan Microencapsulation: TITAN Technology Spraying Wetting Spreading Coated Particle Drying Extrusion Filtration Inoculum Preparation (Laboratory) Seed Fermentation Industrial Fermentation Separation and Harvest of the Biomass Yeast Cream Storage
