New generation yeast probiotic: Actisaf® Sc 47 HR+

Can you please tell up to what temperature the live yeast stain survives during palletizing the feed?

Thanks for your interest on this topic, Dr.P.S. Oberoi! In fact, yeast probiotic resistance during pelleting process is not only related to heat but also to other physical parameters such as humidity and compression-friction, which are all interacting together. That's why there is no exact answer to your question: each process is different and has to be evaluated individually.

Can we use this type of yeast in steam cooked pallet feed?

Hi dear,
I want to know how much quantity of sodium bicarbonate we should reduce in dairy cow ration if we use Actisaf at proper dosage or not at all. What is the maximum per day dosage we can feed to a dairy cow or at which dosage product will start to hinder the performance and general health?

I am asking because some dairy farmers here use very high doses of Actisaf during milk production competitions of Holstein and Jersey cows which are held here annually, and dairy farmers make very innovative strategies to win in any condition. Thanks. I am a dairy farmer from Punjab, India. And a member of Progressive Dairy Farmers Association of Punjab which works for the progress of budding dairy farmers of the region.

Sir, which company is marketing actisafe in India? Please tell me the name of the company.

Why can I not use it in poultry?

ActiSaf Sc 47 Std. is stable at pelleting temperature. This was tested by me by performing a simple test in QC lab. Two one liter capacity beakers were taken. To each beaker, 500 ml water and 50 g sugar was added. The content were boiled and cooled to room temperature. In one beaker, 50 g pelleted feed without ActiSaf Std. was added, while in other beaker 50 g pelleted feed containing ActiSaf Std. was added. Two beakers were incubated at 28 degree Celsius for 48 hours. After incubation, in second beaker containing feed pellets with ActiSaf Std., excellent growth of live yeast was seen with typical yeast odor. This demonstrates that the ActiSaf Std. survives pelleting temperature. This simple test can be performed by anybody in the QC lab of a cattle feed plant. Benefits of live yeast ActiSaf Std. have been documented in many research articles which I don't want to elaborate here.

would this product have any benefit in poultry?
