Lallemand Animal Nutrition is expanding the production capacity of its yeast production plant in Józefów, Poland in order to meet the growing market demand for the premium protected live yeast Titan. Major investments have been made to double both yeast drying and micro-encapsulation capacities. Titan is a patented live yeast protection technology specifically designed for pelleted feed applications. Titan yeast production capacity is expected to double by the end of 2019. Jean-François Hupé, R&D Manager, Product and Process Development, explained: “Titan includes a patented yeast microencapsulation technology, but Titan is not only about coating. The development of this technology is a truly integrated approach. We optimized both the fermentation and drying conditions and each downstream processing step to ensure optimal resistance and viability of the live yeast in customer applications. We invested in each step of the production process, from fermentation to packaging.” Lallemand Animal Nutrition focuses on optimizing animal performance and well-being with specific natural microbial product and service solutions. The company develops, produces and markets high value yeast and bacteria products - including probiotics, forage inoculants and yeast derivatives.
