Animal feeding stuffs: Methods of sampling and analysis - Isolation and enumeration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae used as feed additive

This European Standard defines general rules for the enumeration of probiotic yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in feed samples (additives, premixtures and feeding stuffs) that contain yeast as a single microorganism component or in a mixture with other microorganisms. Applying the method to feeds with a high copper content (> 400 mg/kg) demands a special procedure (see Annex B).The standard is not applicable to mineral feeds which are defined as complementary feeding stuffs composed mainly of minerals and containing at least 40 % crude ash (Council Directive 79/373/EEC).
There are different categories of feed samples:
a)   Additives which contain about 10+9 CFU/g to 10+10 CFU/g (CFU = colony forming units).
b)   Premixtures which contain about 10+8 CFU/g
c)   Feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 10+6 CFU/g and include complete feedingstuffs, and milk replacers.
The detection limit is as defined in EN ISO 7218.

Futtermittel: Probenahme- und Untersuchungsverfahren - Trennung und Zählung von Hefestämmen (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Dieses Dokument legt allgemeine Regeln für die Zählung von Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Futtermitteln (Zusatzstoffe, Vormischungen und Mischfuttermittel mit Ausnahme von mineralischen Futtermitteln) fest, die Saccharomyces cerevisiae als einzelnen mikrobiellen Bestandteil oder in einem Gemisch mit anderen Mikroorganismen enthalten. Die Anwendung des Verfahrens auf Mischfuttermittel mit kritischen Kupfer-mengen erfordert ein besonderes Verfahren (siehe Anhang A). Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar auf mineralische Futtermittel, die als Ergänzungsfuttermittel definiert sind, hauptsächlich aus Mineralstoffen zusammengesetzt sind und mindestens 40 % Rohasche enthalten (Verordnung R767/2009) [3].
Es gibt unterschiedliche Kategorien von Futtermittelproben:
a) Zusatzstoffe, die etwa 1010 koloniebildende Einheiten (KbE/g) enthalten;
b) Vormischungen, die etwa 1011 KbE/kg enthalten;
c) Mischfuttermittel, Mehl oder Pellets, die etwa 109 KbE/kg enthalten.
Die Nachweisgrenze entspricht der in EN ISO 7218 festgelegten.

Aliments des animaux - Méthodes d’échantillonnage et d’analyse - Isolement et dénombrement des souches de Saccharomyces cerevisiae utilisées comme additifs pour l’alimentation animale

Le présent document définit des règles générales pour le dénombrement de Saccharomyces cerevisiae présents dans les aliments pour animaux (additifs, prémélanges et aliments composés, à l’exception des aliments minéraux) qui contiennent des Saccharomyces cerevisiae comme seul micro-organisme constitutif ou en mélange avec d’autres micro-organismes. L’application de la méthode aux aliments composés pour animaux présentant une teneur critique en cuivre nécessite de mettre en oeuvre un mode opératoire spécial (voir Annexe A). Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux aliments minéraux, qui se définissent comme des aliments complémentaires constitués principalement de minéraux et contenant au moins 40 % de cendre brute (Règlement R767/2009) [3].
Il existe différentes catégories d’échantillons d’aliments pour animaux :
a) les additifs contenant environ 1010 UFC/g (UFC : unités formant colonie) ;
b) les prémélanges contenant environ 1011 UFC/kg ;
c) les aliments composés, farines ou granulés qui contiennent environ 109 UFC/kg.
La limite de détection est définie dans l’EN ISO 7218.

European foreword

This document (prEN 15789:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 327 “Animal

feeding stuffs: Methods of sampling and analysis”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15789:2009.

Introduction

This method has been developed to enumerate yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) used as feed additives

to enable the European Commission to control proper labelling of animal feeding products (EU project

SMT4-CT98-2235 “Methods for the official control of probiotics (microorganisms) used as animal feeds”

[1].

The procedure has been validated for one commercially used Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain [1]. As the

method is not selective for this particular Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, it can be assumed, that it can

also be applied to enumerate other Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in their respective dosage form in

feed provided that the added yeast is present in far higher numbers than any other yeast.

The method has not been validated for other yeast species (e.g. Kluyveromyces marxianus).

1 Scope

This document defines general rules for the enumeration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in feeding stuffs

(additives, premixtures and compound feeds excluding mineral feeds) that contain Saccharomyces

cerevisiae as a single microorganism component or in a mixture with other microorganisms. Applying

the method to compound feeds with critical amounts of copper demands a special procedure (see

Annex A). The document is not applicable to mineral feeds, which are defined as complementary

feeding stuffs composed mainly of minerals and containing at least 40 % crude ash (Regulation

R767/2009) [3].
There are different categories of feed samples:
a) Additives containing about 10 (colony forming units) CFU/g;
b) Premixtures containing about 10 CFU/kg;
c) Compound feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 10 CFU/kg.
The detection limit is defined in EN ISO 7218.

4 Principle

a) Preparation of sterile and dry poured agar plates or preparation of sterile liquid selective medium

tempered at 44 °C to 47 °C;
b) A representative test sample is taken under aseptic conditions;

c) An initial suspension is prepared with a tempered diluent to obtain a homogeneous distribution of

yeast cells from the test portion;

d) The number of microorganisms per unit volume is reduced by the preparation of further decimal

dilutions from the initial suspension to obtain a countable number of colonies on the selective

enumeration media;

e) Inoculation of prepared poured plates with an aliquot of the optimum dilutions and dispersion of

the inoculum using a sterile spreader or inoculation of blank petri dishes with an aliquot of the

optimum dilutions and pouring of the molten agar medium into each Petri dish, mixing and

solidification;

f) The inoculated plates are incubated for 48 h to 72 h at 30 °C ± 1 °C under aerobic conditions;

g) Counting of typical colonies, considering the specific properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as listed

in 3.1;
h) Morphological verification of isolates by use of microscopy;

i) Calculation of the colony forming units of Saccharomyces cerevisiae per g or kg of feed sample.

Dissolve the components in water. If necessary, adjust to a final pH of 7,3 ± 0,2 at 25 °C after

sterilization. The solution is filled into appropriate containers (e.g. bottles or flasks, test tubes) and

sterilized at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 15 min. To avoid loss during autoclaving, screw cap bottles are

recommended.
Temper to 40 ± 1°C in a water bath or incubator immediately before usage.

NOTE The use of commercially available PBS buffer tablets is acceptable. However, please take note that

variations in composition and pH can occur between products from different manufacturers and could therefore

give results different from the ones obtained with the medium as specified in this International Standard.

5.1.2 Diluents for serial dilutions

For serial dilutions, the diluent for initial suspension (5.1.1) or alternatively peptone salt solution (PSS)

according to EN ISO 6887-1 can be used.

Sodium chloride NaCl 8.5g
Water, distilled or 1000 ml

Dissolve the components in the water in flasks, bottles or test tubes. Adjust the pH if necessary so that,

after sterilization, it is 7,0 ± 0,2 at 25 °C. For decimal dilutions, prepare test tubes containing

9,0 ml ± 0,1 ml after sterilization or use screw cap bottles to avoid weight loss during autoclaving.

Sterilize at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 15 min. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use.

NOTE Commercially available, ready-to-use PSS tubes of 9 ml are suitable.

5.2.2 Preparation

Dissolve all components in water under heating and fill into appropriate containers (e.g. bottles or

flasks with non-toxic metal screw-caps). If necessary, adjust to a final pH of 6,6 ± 0,2 at 25 °C after

sterilization. Sterilize at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 15 min. Excessive heating shall be avoided.

NOTE If chloramphenicol is replaced by oxytetracycline the basic medium is prepared in the same way but

without chloramphenicol. Prepare a 1 % mass concentration (m/m) solution of oxytetracycline hydrochloride in

water and sterilize by filtration. Just prior to use, add 10 ml of this solution aseptically to 1 000 ml of the basic

medium after sterilization (in order to obtain a final concentration of 0,1 g/l of medium), that has been maintained

at 44 °C – 47 °C.
