Animal feeding stuffs - Isolation and enumeration of yeast probiotic strains

This European Standard defines general rules for the enumeration of probiotic yeasts in feed samples (additives, premixtures and feeding stuffs) that contain yeast as a single microorganism component or in a mixture with other microorganisms. The standard is not applicable to mineral feeds which are defined as complementary feedingstuffs composed mainly of minerals and containing at least 40% crude ash (Council Directive 79/373/EEC) [4].
There are different categories of feed samples:
a)   Additives which contain about 109 CFU/g to 1010 CFU/g (CFU = colony forming units).
b)   Premixtures which contain about 108 CFU/g
c)   Feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 106 CFU/g and include complete feedingstuffs, and milk replacers.
The detection limit is as defined in ISO 7218.

Futtermittel - Keimzählung von probiotischen Hefestämmen

Diese Internationale Norm legt allgemeine Regeln für die Zählung von probiotischer Hefe in Futtermittelproben (Zusatzstoffe, Vormischung und Futtermittel) fest, die Hefe als einzelnen mikroorganischen Bestandteil oder in einem Gemisch mit anderen Mikroorganismen enthalten. Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf mineralische Futtermittel, die als Ergänzungsfuttermittel definiert sind, hauptsächlich aus Mineralien zusammengesetzt sind und mindestens 40 % Rohasche enthalten (Richtlinie 79/373/EWG).
Es gibt unterschiedliche Kategorien von Futtermittelproben:
-   Zusatzstoffe, die etwa 1010 KbE/g enthalten;
-   Vormischungen, die etwa 108 KbE/g enthalten;
-               Futtermittel, Mehl oder Pellets, die etwa 106 KbE/g enthalten und fertige Futtermittel und Milchersatz berücksichtigen.

Aliments des animaux - Isolation et dénombrement de souches probiotiques de levures (saccharomyces cerevisiae)

La présente Norme internationale donne des directives générales pour le dénombrement des levures probiotiques présentes dans des échantillons d’aliments (additifs, prémélanges et aliments des animaux) qui contiennent de la levure en tant que composant sous forme d’un micro-organisme simple ou en mélange avec d’autres micro-organismes. La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux aliments minéraux qui sont définis comme étant des aliments complémentaires des animaux constitués principalement de minéraux et renfermant au moins 40 % de cendres brutes (Directive du Conseil 79/373/CEE).
Il existe différentes catégories d’échantillons d’aliments des animaux :
   les additifs qui contiennent environ 109 UFC/g à 1010 UFC/g ;
   les prémélanges qui contiennent environ 108 UFC/g ;
   les aliments des animaux, les farines ou les granulés qui contiennent environ 106 UFC/g et incluent des aliments complets et des succédanés de lait.

Introduction This method has been developed to enumerate probiotic yeasts in additives, premixtures and feeding stuffs. 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]. It is based on ISO 7954, a pour plate method using extract dextrose chloramphenicol (CGYE) (alternatively oxytetracycline) agar, a selective agar for yeasts [1]. This method is not selective for probiotic yeast but can be applied to enumerate yeast in feed assuming that the probiotic yeast is present in far higher numbers than any other yeast. In addition or alternatively a spread plate method and a chromogenic1 agar can be used allowing an elective enumeration of the probiotic yeast species for example Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which forms distinct mauve/purple colonies. The presence of other yeasts will be identified on the elective agar by different colouration. The application of both agars (CGYE and Chromagar® Candida) have been validated for four probiotic commercially used yeast strains, belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in premixtures and feeding stuffs [3].

The standard is not applicable to mineral feeds which are defined as complementary feedingstuffs composed mainly of minerals and containing at least 40% crude ash (Council Directive 79/373/EEC) [4]. There are different categories of feed samples: a) Additives which contain about 109 CFU/g to 1010 CFU/g (CFU = colony forming units): b) Premixtures which contain about 108 CFU/g, c) Feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 106 CFU/g and include complete feedingstuffs, and milk replacers. The detection limit is as defined in EN ISO 7218. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 6887-1, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - Preparation of test samples, initial suspension and decimal dilutions for microbiological examination - Part 1: General rules for the preparation of the initial suspension and decimal dilutions (ISO 6887-1:1999) EN ISO 7218, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations (ISO 7218:2007) ISO 6498, Animal feeding stuffs – Preparation of test samples 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1
yeasts (described by their characteristics as used for this standard) microorganisms which form colonies on the selective yeast extract dextrose chloramphenicol (oxytetracycline) agar according to the method specified in this Standard 4 Principle a) Preparation of sterile and dry poured agar plates, and sterile molten agar at 48 °C ± 1 °C for poured plates.
b) Drawing a representative test sample under sterile conditions.
SIST EN 15789:2009



EN 15789:2009 (E) 6 c) Preparation of the initial suspension to obtain a homogeneous distribution of yeast-like cells from the test portion. d) Preparation of further decimal dilutions of the initial suspension in order to reduce the number of microorganisms per unit volume, to allow, after incubation, the counting of colonies. e) Inoculation of the prepared plates with an aliquot of the optimum dilutions and dispersion of the inoculum by using a sterile spreader, or poured plate. f) Aerobic incubation of inverted spread plates for 3 days at 30 °C ± 1 °C, or 35 °C ± 1 °C for 2 days for poured plates. g) Counting of typical colonies, considering the specific properties of yeast as listed above.
h) Morphological verification of isolates of yeast through the use of microscope analysis. i) Calculation of the colony count per g or kg of feed sample. 5 Diluent, selective media and test kit for phenotypic characterisation 5.1 Diluents 5.1.1 Diluent for initial suspension of premixtures, additives and feeding stuffs This diluent is used to decimally dilute the sample to prepare an initial decimally diluted sample suspension (10-1) in appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks).
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS):
Dissolve 8 g sodium chloride, 0,2 g potassium chloride, 1,15 g disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0,2 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 7,3 ± 0,2 in 1 l of distilled water. Aliquote this saline into appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks). Autoclave all capped containers with the initial diluent at 121 °C ± 1 °C for 10 min. To avoid loss during autoclaving, screw cap bottles are recommended. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. Measure the pH of the diluent to ensure the suitable buffer capacity. 5.1.2 Diluent for serial dilutions This diluent is used to decimally dilute the initial sample suspension and subsequent dilutions.
Peptone salt solution: A peptone salt solution is made complying with EN ISO 6887-1. Compose the solution of enzymatic digest of 1 g casein such as pancreatic peptone of casein (or peptone of same quality)
and 8,5 g sodium chloride) per liter (l)
distilled water. Dissolve the ingredients in water. Adjust the pH to 7,0 ± 0,2 at 25 °C ± 1 °C. For decimal dilutions, prepare test tubes containing 9,0 ml ±
0,1 ml after sterilisation or use screw cap bottles to avoid weight loss during autoclaving. Sterilise in the autoclave for 15 min at 121 °C ± 1 °C. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. SIST EN 15789:2009
