Lallemand Animal Nutrition has introduced YANG^®, its new solution for livestock producers.

A synergistic combination of specific strains of inactivated yeast, YANG^® is a concentrate that aids animals during challenging conditions such as weaning, feed transitions and sanitary challenges.

The product can be used in most feed production processes.

The properties of yeast derivatives - products obtained from inactivated yeast cells - and their ability to adhere to specific bacteria and modulate the immune system, are well known in human and animal nutrition.

A collaborative examination conducted with research institutes reinforced the fact that these properties are highly strain-dependent and linked to the yeast genome.

Applying cutting-edge technologies for the first time in this area, Lallemand R&D teams have selected yeast strains (including Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Cyberlindnera jadinii) with different and complementary properties, combining them in the unique YANG^® formula.

Trials have been conducted in controlled facilities and in commercial farms showing beneficial effects in post-weaning piglets, calves, goats, shrimps and fish.

Further trials are ongoing in other animal species.
