Phileo by Lesaffre

Phileo by Lesaffre is a subsidiary of the Lesaffre group, a French family-owned group founded in 1853 who are now global leaders in fermentation and microbiology operating in more than 50 countries. Their agricultural business units specifically focus on understanding and utilising the animal, soil and plant microbiomes to nourish and protect the planet.

As the animal care division of Lesaffre, Phileo is dedicated to understanding the impacts of these microbial populations on livestock, horses and other animals, and we are experts in utilising the microbiome to improve animal health and performance.

Our range of feed additives are derived from microorganisms and scientifically and consistently proven to influence the microbiome, bind toxins and aid immunity through various modes of action. They do this by harnessing the power of microbes to deliver significant improvements in animal performance, efficiency and health and welfare.

Our flagship product is Actisaf® Sc 47, a probiotic and specific strain of live yeast that naturally optimises the rumen and hindgut environments to support the growth of beneficial microbes. This leads to improved feed efficiency and animal performance across species, while making farming businesses more profitable.

Phileo’s history, technical expertise, and arsenal of proven products make us ideally placed to help the farming industry solve some of its most pressing challenges by going straight to the engines that powers all livestock: their digestive microbiome and gut integrity.

If agriculture is to make progress toward Net Zero, we need to find new ways of operating that are truly sustainable economically, socially and environmentally. Therefore, solutions should focus not only on reducing emissions, but must also:

• Improve efficiency
• Ensure profitability
• Enhance animal health and welfare
• Minimise environmental impact

At Phileo UK & Ireland, we believe in providing solutions that help farmers achieve all four – a more efficient and profitable industry is a more sustainable one.

We are proud to sponsor the ‘Livestock, environment and regen’ session at the 2024 Nuffield Farming Conference and look forward to learning more from their experiences.
