Micro-encapsulation protects live yeast
To ensure the viability of Levucell® SC through the pelleting process Lallemand has developed a patented system of micro-encapsulation.
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.

Live yeast
Levucell
SC is a live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae 1077). Viability of the
product 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. Micro-encapsulation prevents
reduction of viability.
