More Summaries From The Summit
We know that not everyone was able to attend the Agricultural
Media Summit in Louisville in July, so we're bringing more session summaries
to you! We hit the highlights of the photo workshop, learn the most challenging
questions Fred Myers was asked, and get a perspective on the students who
attended this year's Summit. (Click for details.)

Lallemand recently announced the development of new micro-encapsulation technology which protects the viability of live yeast during the pelleting process.
The micro-encapsulation process involves coating the dried yeast prills with a specific fatty acid mixture that protects the yeast against the high temperatures and pressures of pelleting. The protective fatty acid coating then solubilizes in the rumen environment to ensure the live yeast cells are metabolically active.
Levucell SC and Levucell SB are Active Dry Yeasts. Levucell SC rumen specific yeast has been proven to have a beneficial "probiotic" effect on ruminal fermentation. This specific strain of live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae 1077) has been identified for its ability to enhance rumen efficiency, stabilize ruminal pH and ultimately increase animal performance Levucell SB is a proven human-grade probiotic which is now available for use as a probiotic in feed for monogastric animals and young ruminants. The strain was selected specifically for its ability to maintain the balance of intestinal microflora.
Saccharomyces cerevisae is a hardy organism, therefore viability is not an issue in mineral premixes and "top dress" products. However, when pelleting feed, there are a number of manufacturing processes that reduce the viability of unprotected active dry yeasts. The resulting viability will be a function of temperature, pressure and time involved in the pelleting process.
