Phileo launches new generation multi-species bacteria probiotic in poultry

Published: February 7, 2019
Source : Phileo Lesaffre
Microsaf®, a multi-species bacteria probiotic, will be officially launched by Phileo Lesaffre Animal Care in Atlanta (Feb 12-15, 2019) during IPPE 2019, giving poultry professionals an exciting new route to improved feed efficiency, gut health and growth performance.
Marcq-en-Baroeul, France (February 7, 2019). The new probiotic is based on a unique combination of three proprietary strains from 3 Bacillus species, carefully chosen to produce improvements in feed efficiency, alongside their potential to inhibit major poultry pathogens, including Clostridium perfringens.
According to the results of a battery of pre-launch trials, carried out in North America and Europe, Microsaf® is capable of delivering increased levels of feed intake, improved FCR, higher daily growth rates and better all-round growth performance.
Compared in trials with two other Bacillus-based products, Microsaf® achieved significantly higher levels of feed intake, significantly improved FCR and the best return on investment (ROI).
The performance of Microsaf® is also enhanced by the exclusive 3-patent Germination Optimization Technology (GO Technology®), a new process designed to promote faster and stronger Bacillus spore germination. This maximizes the product’s impact within the short transit time of 4-5 hours, which applies to most chickens.
Comparing Bacillus spores primed by GO Technology® to ones which are not primed, in fact, showed that the GO Technology® innovation successfully accelerated and synchronized the germination of the three Microsaf® strains. This enabled primed Bacillus licheniformis spores to reach 90% germination in just 45 minutes, a level reached by only 10% of the spores in the control group.
“We’re delighted to be able to launch Microsaf® at IPPE 2019, making this ground-breaking product available to our customers in such an important part of the poultry world,” said Lin Wang, Global product manager at Phileo.
Product range expansion
“This is an extremely important day for Phileo, as our launch of this high-profile bacteria probiotic reveals how much our product range is increasing in both scope and impact,” said Dr. Alain Riggi, Global poultry manager at Phileo. “We’re obviously pleased to have a strong global reputation for our many yeast-based products, but it’s also good to be able to unveil a new bacteria-based solution and to display the progress our research and development teams are making in many other areas as well.”

Dear Steffen,

As I presented during the IPPE, we have investigated germination extensively under in vitro conditions showing enhanced germination when spores have been treated with the GO technology.

In vivo, we have yet to verify if we observe a difference in vegetative cells versus spores after ingestion of GO technology treated spores versus regular spores. We do expect though that vegetative cells will be present in higher numbers for the treatment with GO technology.

We have also compared the efficacy of the bacillus strains with and without GO technology. For example, in a mollusks study, we showed the clear benefit of the GO technology on survival and growth. Likewise in a oyster larvea study, we saw a similar benefit on enhanced survival when using GO technology treated strains versus non treated spores. In poultry, we have not always done comparative studies. The studies we have performed suggest a benefit of the GO technology in a challenged situation.

Kind regards.

How did you investigate germination, in vitro or in vivo? Have you carried out efficacy trials comparing your bacillus strains with or without the GO Technology?

Organic acids as feed additives are using in layer feed which keep the gut ph normal and this condition creates the good microbiota in gut. Is there any synergistic effect of probiotics with organic acids in the gut and what's the mechanism?

Are multi species much more effective than single strain even if they are both spore-forming?

I believe that in choosing organic acids it is important to consider the Ka of the acid.
Normally, a mixture of organic acids of different Ka works better than a single acid. This mixture of different Ka organic acids guarantees acidification of all parts of the upper digestive tract.

Dear sir,
What are the benefits of Co enzyme CQ 10 along with natural vitamin C, organic acids, essential oils, and copper sulfate in layer birds?

Good evening.

Please explain which strain of probiotic is better in layer birds. Does it depend on feed ingredient?
