In September 2012 the «1st Olmix Algae Symposium» showed how the Breton Algae sector could bring solutions to global nutrition and health issues.

In 2013, during the Breizh Algae tour, Olmix invites you to discover this reality in the field through different angles:

■ SCIENCE: Tour of the historical heart of algae scientific knowledge. ■ RESOURCE: Onsite view of different modes of algae harvesting. ■ INDUSTRY: Visit of the first algae Bio-refinery in the world.

As happens every year, this event will be a great gathering and a rare moment of sharing. It's a moment for us to share ideas, share views and discuss about significant global challenges impacting our sectors such as the increase of raw material price or other more technical subjects, but also a moment to imagine the «algriculture» of tomorrow in doing a little bit of prospective. It's a real pleasure to welcome our partners willing to take up this challenge to feed 9 billions of humans in 2050.

Hervé BalussonOlmix Group President & CEO

En septembre 2012 le « 1er Olmix Algae Symposium » a été l’occasion de démontrer la place incontournable de la Bretagne dans la valorisation

des Algues au service des problématiques mondiales de nutrition et de santé.

En 2013, à travers le Breizh Algae tour, Olmix invite ses partenaires à découvrir cette réalité sur le terrain sous différents angles :

■ La SCIENCE : Un parcours au cœur historique de la connaissance scientifique et technique des algues.

■ La RESSOURCE : L’observation des différentes méthodes de récolte d’algues.

SCIENCE

Brown, red, and green Algae are rich sources of minerals, polysaccharides and pro-teins. Their cell wall polysaccharides, despite their variable composition and structure, all dis-play the presence of sulfate groups in specific positions on the sugar moieties. The composi-tion of these complex carbohydrates differ from polysaccharides in terrestrial plants, both in their sugar composition and by the presence of sulfate groups.

Polysaccharides are a structurally diverse class of macromolecules and are widespread in nature. They occur as simple and complex forms. Unlike proteins and nucleic acids, polysaccharides may contain repetitive structural features of groups of monosaccharide residues joined together by gly-cosidic bonds. They may also have different types of substitutions, for example methylation or sulfa-tation. While methylation occur in both plant an algal polysaccharides sulfa-tation is specific to algae.

This knowledge is what motiva-ted Olmix to focus on Algae to design natural solutions for animal and plants in order to avoid the use of chemi-cals such as antibiotics.

The Olmix program is based on the industrialized valorisation of Algae, from harvesting to extraction of active principles to be used in the Eco-concept, Algo-Bio and Green Care products.

In recent years more and more publications have demonstrated the relevance of seaweeds in numerous biological mechanisms, par-ticularly in the immune response. In many cases the role of the sulfated polysaccharides in the interaction has been demonstrated, as well as the importance of the sulfate groups. The algal polysaccharides are recognized to influence the immune system by a vast number of pathways.

AlgaeLes algues brunes, rouges et vertes sont riches en minéraux, polysaccharides et pro-téines. Elles contiennent des polysaccharides pariétales sulfatés, ce qui les diffère des polysac-charides terrestres.

Les polysaccharides constituent une catégo-rie particulière de macromolécules qui sont très répandues dans la nature. On les retrouve sous des formes linéaires ou ramifiées. A la différence des protéines et des acides nucléiques, les poly-saccharides contiennent des structures répétitives particulières qui sont des chaînes de résidus de monosaccharides rattachés entre eux par des liaisons O-glycosidiques et qui peuvent possé-der des substitutions tels que des groupements méthyles ou sulfates. Tandis que la méthylation se trouve sur des polysaccharides marins et ter-restres, la sulfatation est spécifique aux polysac-charides algaux.

Cette connaissance a motivé Olmix à se concentrer sur les algues pour mettre au point des solutions naturelles pour

les animaux et les plantes afin de réduire l’utilisation de

produits chimiques et antibiotiques.

Le concept Olmix est basé sur l’industrialisa-tion de la valorisation des algues, de la récolte à l’extraction de principes actifs jusqu’à leur intégra-

tion dans les produits des gammes Eco-concept,

Algo-Bio et Green Care.

Ces dernières années, de nom-breuses publications ont contribué à mettre en évidence l’intérêt des algues dans de nom-breuses applications biologiques, parti-culièrement en relation avec la réponse immunitaire. Certains composants des algues, les polysaccharides sulfatés sont particulière-ment intéressants pour cette raison. L’influence des polysaccharides algaux sur le système immunitaire est reconnue, ils agissent à tra-vers différents mécanismes.

During the Breizh Algae Tour, the station will host you and open its doors to present you the interest of using algae for diverse applications:

■ The use of algae in animal nutrition and all organoleptic properties they bring (trace and micro elements, minerals, vitamin cocktail, antioxidants, lipids and proteins, oligosaccharides)

■ The role of marine sulphated polysaccharides in immune modulation, their capacity to improve the vaccine response and other properties.

Scientists will present the advantages of using macro-algae in food and animal health (English presentations - by prior arrangement):

■ Dr. Bernard Kloareg: CNRS Research Director and Director of the Biological Station of Roscoff

■ Dr. Catherine Boyen: CNRS Research Director

■ Dr. Hervé Demais: Scientific Adviser (BioVet-Conseil)

■ Dr. Henri Salmon: Research Director at INRA

Located on the Breton coast in the western end of the English Channel, the Station Biologique de Roscoff was founded in 1872 by Henri de Lacaze Duthiers, Professor at the Sorbonne University, who was attracted by the exceptional variety of biotopes in the area.

Today the Station Biologique de Roscoff is a renowned research and training center in marine biology and oceanography, jointly operated by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Pierre & Marie Curie University (UPMC). The long tradition and continous effort to apply new methods in algal research has resulted in a profound knowledge on algae, today of worldwide renown.

For decades brown algae were used as a crop fertilizer and to make tincture of iodine, found to be a powerful antiseptic in 1811. In the era of Napoleon, factories were built in Brittany to extract iodine from the kelp. The harvesting season lasted six months, and from early March gatherers travelled out to sea with wooden boats, transferring the algae from the boats to special horse-drawn carts. Up to 400 boats commuted daily when this period reached its peak! Nowadays 50 gatherers are harvesting kelp. This work is now easier thanks to the modern technology. Boats now have a hydraulic harvesting system called a "Scoubidou". The brown algae harvested are used to extract Alginates. That alginate is used in the food industry, in medicine and in cosmetics. Alginates are also very attractive for animal Health. You will be immersed in the algae harvesting during a sea tour along the western Brittany coast.

Harvesting BROWN and RED algae

Ulva lactuca is commonly called Sea Lettuce. Ulva lactuca can be found in diverse habitats, but is seen in more abundant quantities in sheltered bays or in protected and semi-protected areas with limited wave action. It is found in tide pools, rock pools, on cobble, boulders, and bedrock in mid- to lower levels of the intertidal zone,

and also grows in the sublittoral to a depth of over 20 meters. In very sheltered conditions, plants that have

become detached from the substrate can keep on growing, forming extensive floating mats or rafts.

Ulva lactuca tolerates brackish conditions and can be found on suitable substrata in estuaries. Ulva lactuca is very rich in marine

sulphated polysaccharides which makes it one of the most attractive algae for Olmix and its application for animals and plants solutions.

■ The collection in shallow waterThis unique prototype is able to pick up floating green algae in shallow water (less than one meter). Agrival, a member of the Ulvans consortium, is in charge of the collection and transport of algae to the bio-refinery, near Saint-Pol-de-Léon. The company is located in Plouénan, and is a subsidiary of the SICA (see page 12) created in 1961 by Alexis Gourvennec.The idea is to improve the collect of algae in shallow water were they are still fresh, rather than after stranding when they start to decay. This goal is obtained by the developpment of a specialized agricultural machine able to conserve the site and

its biodiversity and improve safety for the workers.This year, a prototype is planned to collect 2500 tons of green algae in the bay of Douarnenez. Green algae are now recognized for their specific properties and considered as the new green gold. This resource will benefit to the five companies members of the consortium Ulvans. The aim of this project is to create a new valorisation channel in Brittany, from harvesting of the green algae to their transformation into innovative products.

■ The collection by boatAmadeus: amphibious craft developed to collect algae. Born in 2012 at the initiative of Néopolia, the project Algapolia federate five partners with complementary skills for the construction of the first ship prototype for collecting algae at sea and on land. First step of a project to make a specific sector of development of marine algae emerge. This machine, invented by Thierry Thomazeau, measures almost 12 meters long, more than 4 meters wide and is able to carry up to 5 tons off freight. It is equipped with a crane to grab algae, wheels for moving on the beach, and can also move in the water through the propeller propulsion with a maximum speed of 10 km/h.

■Ulvans partners Consortium:

Olmix and four other Breton SMBs (Small and Medium size Business) have created a Group named ULVANS, whose ambition is to implement a new algae valorisation channel in Brittany, from harvesting to processing into innovative products. These products will have applications in animal nutrition, animal and plant health, and soil fertility. New products will be sold all over the world.

This ambitious regional project perfectly meets tomorrow’s challenges, in a period when innovation, ecology, employment and exportation are central issues in France.

The initiative launched by OLMIX will also enable the revival of the Breton economy by creating around 100 jobs and the reindustrialization of an unproductive industrial site in Plouénan.

Artichoke harvest

Production of greenhouse tomatoes

The regional economic com-mittee that emerged from these reflections, has become a mo-del for organization of fruits and vegetables markets in France.

Cauliflower is conditioned by the producer at harvest time.

After World War Two, during the fifties, French agriculture knew a complete transformation. After several years of shortage, it was urgent to find a solution in order to feed the country. Vegetables producers took up the challenge.

But the market was controlled by local companies marketing the pro-ducts and fixing the prices. The

market knew some difficulties, especially concerning artichoke.

During the sixties, the producers took charge of their destiny… Led by Alexis Gourvennec, they created the SICA in

1961. Their aim was to impose the auction market in order to guarantee healthy and fair relationships with sellers. Producers got involved in definition of production rules, bringing their products to the market and sales promotion.

■ Basis of the marketNowadays, the market works on the basis that were set up in 1961. Producers in the Sica and other organized market associations, create market rules and carry out subscription and withdrawal in total solidarity. The intro-duction of produce on the market is realized by auction, based on transparency of price, equity, a clear quotation for each vegetable, every day. Marketing is done by mer-chant-sender, who bring their power, suppleness, and their knowledge of different markets.

It is not by chance that Olmix came to work on algae technologies for livestock and plants. Olmix is based in the heart of livestock production in France. Brittany represents more than 55% of the country pig production, more than 35% of the poultry and 20% of milk production. Agriculture and livestock are cultural and the research for new technologies is a daily matter.

18 years ago when Olmix founder Hervé Balusson created the company, his aim was already to develop alternative solutions

for livestock. He grew up in a pig farm and first worked on Mistral for pigs with a great success and then came

to MTX+, a first experience with algae polysaccharides. This was the second great commercial success of the company. It is clear now that algae will bring Olmix a lot of new opportunities to work on natural solution for sustainable farming.

The tour is a great opportunity to discover Olmix and its surroundings and to help its partners to improve their technical skills.

GLON

Sanders factory

Glon was created in France after the Second World War by André Glon, a miller, who branched out into animal feed manufacture. The Glon group owes its rapid development to the green revolution of the “Glorious Thirty”

(30 year period after WWII). However the group rea-listically anticipated the limits of a “produce more” culture in a western society that had become self-sufficient in everyday consumer products. Therefore, with the help of their shareholder Sofiprotéol, they embarked on an era of “produce better” alongside thousands of breeders, bearing in mind their res-ponsibility towards consumers and the environment.

■ Three core businesses The group operates on the animal feed and health markets as well as in the transformation of animal products for human consumption. Glon achieves a turnover of 1.48 billion euros, of which 54% in animal nutrition, 42% in human nutrition, 4% in animal health. The company counts around 26 000 breeder clients, and produces 3.4 million tons of animal food each year. Through its different activities in France, Glon contributes to produce 1 out of 4 eggs, 1 out of 13 chickens, 1 out of 5 cows, 1 out of 10 pigs, 1 out of 4 rabbits.

■ OrganizationGlon is organized and federated as a network based on these 3 areas of activity, cove-ring the entire value chain, from farm production to the end consumer. This network in-cludes partnerships and alliances with French, European and International companies. Thanks to international plant installations and partnerships, Glon is present in over 80 countries. The company’s dynamism is based on the know-how, intelligence and initiative of its national network of 50 SMEs (Small and Medium size Business). These companies are experts in their fields. Because they are present on a local level, they naturally integrate regional specificities. The group has a strong presence in Brittany.

ULVANS for algae valorisationWith its extensive experience in the valorisation of algae and the excellent results obtained in Animal nutrition, Olmix has promoted and is immersed in a new collaborative program of R&D.

Olmix and 4 SMEs (Small and Medium size Business) of Brittany have joined to develop a new sector of algae valorisation, develop new materials and open new markets for export.

The group, called ULVANS (ULves VAlorisation Nutrition Santé), aims to create a new sector of algae in Brittany, from harvesting to

processing into innovative products in the areas of nutrition and health, animal and plant, and its marketing around the world.

This ambitious regional project fully responds to the challenges of the future, at a time in which innovation, ecology, employment, and exports are at the center of all concerns in France.

ULVANS brings together 5 industrial Breton partners (ULVANS project: ULves VAlorisation Nutrition Santé). ■ Olmix (specialist in natural solutions for animal and vegetal health and nutrition), ■ PRP (natural fertilizers), ■ Melspring (natural elicitors), ■ Amadéite (animal health), ■ Agrival (valorsation of plant co-products by extraction and stabilization of molecules of interest)

And two French research centers: ■ University of South Brittany (Univerité de Bretagne Sud), ■ CNRS of Mulhouse.

Ulvans project has received the support of BPI France (Oséo) through an ISI (strategic Industrial Innovation) program.

The development of new products for the sectors of Nutrition and Health, Animal and Vegetal, has several main objectives:

■ Complement and reinforce the range of products to diversified markets (of niche and volume), developing new technologies of processing of the raw materials,

■ The development of new products for the sector of animal health, replacing the chemical molecules by origin "bio" molecules that are beneficial to the development of immunity,

■ The replacement of animal proteins used in animal nutrition and aquaculture,

■ Substitution of certain herbicides, insecticides and fungicides by natural materials of algae products, sustainable phytosanitary solutions,

■ Not only the marketing of these natural and innovative products in France, but also export to markets with great potential as Southeast Asia and China.
