France ·
Lesaffre is a French group specialising in fermentation and microorganisms, with a history that goes back to 1853. Its activities span food, health and biotechnology. For livestock farming the key unit is Phileo by Lesaffre, the business dedicated to animal care, which develops solutions based on yeasts and bacteria. The rest of the group serves bakers, food producers and other biotechnology applications.
In animal nutrition, live yeasts and yeast-derived products are added to feed to support digestion and gut health. In ruminants they help the rumen work efficiently, while in pigs, poultry and fish they support a stable gut flora. Phileo's bacteria-based products follow the same logic. Its customers range from global industry players to family farms producing meat, fish, eggs and milk.

Lesaffre reports product distribution in 180 countries and approximately 11,700 employees across all its businesses.
