Global animal health and nutrition company Alltech’s Yea-Sacc®1026, a live yeast culture based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 1026, has been granted full European Union authorization as a feed additive for horses under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 886/2009.
The authorization follows years of extensive scientific research conducted in collaboration with leading universities and equine research authorities in Europe and throughout the world.
This extensive third party research with Yea-Sacc1026 in equine has highlighted two particularly key functions of the technology, namely: its ability to increase the amount of energy released from the horse’s total diet; and the fact that it improves the amount of fiber digested by the animal. These two areas are crucial in maintaining and satisfying the animal’s nutritional requirements.
As a digestibility enhancer, Yea-Sacc1026 is scientifically proven to ensure healthy fermentation of the feed resulting in maximum extraction of all nutrients, whilst preventing any digestive upset in the horse.
The EU authorization coincides with the one year countdown to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010™ to be held in Kentucky, USA, in 2010. Alltech is title sponsor of these world championships, which will showcase the eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).
