Profitability, in general, is back in French dairy farming, and the sector is becoming increasingly concentrated, a trend that is supporting Lallemand’s business strategy.
Lallemand is flagging up the benefits of using yeast derivatives, probiotics, and antioxidants in fish and shrimp nutrition at an aquaculture focused conference tomorrow ahead of the VIV Asia trade show in Thailand this week.
Vitec Nutrition, Lallemand Animal Nutrition’s New Zealand entity, is to merge with local player, Nutritech International, to become the dominant supplier of animal nutrition technologies in that market.
Lallemand Animal Nutrition said it is partnering with the US institute, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, to document mode of action, biomarkers of efficacy and benefits of existing yeast and bacteria strains for beef and dairy cattle.
The need to find ways to optimize cattle feeding and hence productivity and welfare concentrated the minds of 150 experts at the recent International Beef Exchange in France.
