New spray drier for Alltech’s yeast facility
Alltech recently expanded their yeast facility in São Pedro in Brazil with an additional new state-of-the-art spray dryer. This was needed to meet the increasing demand for the feed additive NuPro.
The
new rocket like spray dryer is constructed of stainless steel and is capable of
producing over three truck loads of NuPro a day to meet the escalating
demand for this nucleotide enhancer. Sales of NuPro has been increased with 58% globally in
2007.
Role of nucleotides in animal feed
NuPro is a functional
nutrient source manufactured from the inner cell contents of a specific strain
of the yeast saccharomyces cerevisae1026. It is a rich source of highly
digestible amino acids as well as having high nucleotide content. Nucleotides
hold a specific function in the development of skeletal and cardiac muscle,
hepatic and intestinal tissue, and the development and maintenance of the immune
system.
