Active Dry Yeast for Animal Feed

ART-AN-046 is an active dry yeast ingredient produced for animal nutrition applications where live yeast count, dry matter, and lot traceability are critical purchasing parameters. The typical organism is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, processed into free-flowing granules or powder for blending into premixes, complete feeds, mineral packs, milk replacer systems, and aquaculture diets. A representative specification may include viable count of not less than 5×10^10 CFU/g at packing, moisture not more than 8.0%, crude protein not less than 40%, ash not more than 8%, and practical particle distribution suitable for feed mixing, commonly with most material passing 20 to 40 mesh depending on the selected grade.

The product is intended for industrial feed use rather than retail sale. It is compatible with many dry carriers and can be dosed through standard micro-ingredient systems when flowability and humidity are controlled.

• Ruminant feed: inclusion in dairy, beef, calf, and small ruminant rations where a viable yeast ingredient is specified by the nutritionist.
• Swine nutrition: use in nursery, grower, finisher, and sow feed systems requiring a dry, blendable yeast component with defined CFU/g.
• Poultry feed: application in broiler, layer, breeder, and turkey feed premixes where yeast solids are part of the nutritional design.
• Aquaculture diets: addition to shrimp, fish, and specialty aquatic feeds where yeast-derived protein and live-cell specification are required by the formulation brief.
• Premix and compound feed plants: handling in 25 kg sacks for batch blending, toll manufacturing, and private-label feed ingredient programs.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse, ideally below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, steam lines, and high-humidity zones. Keep packaging sealed until use to protect viability and reduce moisture pickup. Typical shelf life is 12 to 24 months from manufacture when stored under recommended conditions; the exact retest or expiry date is stated on the lot documentation. Avoid mixing with hot liquids, pelleting conditions that exceed the survivability target, or aggressive chemical additives unless compatibility has been validated in the finished feed process.

Each production lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis covering identification, viable count, moisture, sensory condition, and other agreed parameters. Manufacturing and quality systems are managed with HACCP-aligned controls, and documentation such as feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, microbiological data, heavy metals screening, and country-of-origin information can be provided on request. Food and feed safety certification records, including ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status where applicable to the selected plant and lot, are handled as documentation available on request.
