Bacillus Licheniformis for Animal Feed Poultry

ART-AN-050 is a feed-grade Bacillus licheniformis preparation designed for inclusion in poultry and multi-species animal nutrition programs. The organism is supplied as stable spores rather than vegetative cells, which helps maintain viability during storage, premix blending, and normal feed-mill handling. Typical commercial specifications may include a declared viable count such as 1.0×10^10 to 2.0×10^10 CFU/g, moisture not more than 10%, and a fine powder or granular carrier system selected for homogeneous distribution in vitamin-mineral premixes and complete feeds.

This SKU is positioned for procurement teams buying functional microbial feed ingredients at container, pallet, or mixed-load scale. It is commonly evaluated alongside yeast culture, yeast cell wall, inactive yeast, and other microbial nutrition ingredients within the /categories/animal-nutrition-yeast/ portfolio. Technical buyers should confirm target CFU/g, carrier type, inclusion rate, and heat exposure in the intended process before issuing a purchase order, especially where pelleting temperature, conditioning time, or post-pellet application is relevant.

• Poultry feed: Used by broiler, layer, breeder, and duck feed manufacturers as a spore-forming microbial ingredient in mash, crumble, or pellet feed systems. Typical evaluation points include viable count after mixing, compatibility with acidifiers, and uniformity in premix carriers.
• Swine and ruminant nutrition: Suitable for nutritionists formulating piglet, grower-finisher, sow, calf, dairy, or beef feed programs where a stable bacterial spore ingredient is required. Inclusion levels should be validated by the feed formulator according to species, diet design, and final CFU target per kilogram of feed.
• Aquaculture and specialty feed: May be assessed for shrimp, fish, pet, or specialty animal feed where powder dispersibility, water activity, and feed-processing stability are important purchasing criteria.
• Premix and concentrate manufacturing: Appropriate for feed additive blenders requiring a bulk microbial ingredient that can be combined with yeast-derived ingredients, minerals, vitamins, organic acids, botanicals, or binders, subject to compatibility testing.
• Private-label and regional distribution: ART-AN-050 can be supplied for distributors and feed additive brands that require consistent batch documentation, export-ready packaging, and wholesale pricing on request.

Standard packaging is a 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack with inner liner, designed for dry warehouse storage and export handling. Store sealed bags in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, condensation, strong odors, and chemical vapors. A practical storage range is below 25°C where possible, with relative humidity controlled to protect flowability and viable count. Keep pallets off floors and away from walls to limit moisture migration.

Typical shelf life is 12 to 24 months from manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging under recommended conditions; the confirmed period should be taken from the certificate of analysis or product specification issued for the lot. After opening, reseal the bag tightly and use promptly. For pelleted feeds, buyers should request heat-stability data or conduct in-house recovery testing at the intended conditioning temperature, retention time, and moisture level. Avoid uncontrolled high-temperature storage in containers or warehouses, because elevated heat and humidity can reduce viability over time.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-050 as an inquiry-only B2B ingredient with batch-specific documentation available for qualified buyers. Typical documentation can include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, GMO-status statement where available, allergen statement where applicable, feed-grade declaration, country-of-origin details, and packaging photos. Common analytical items include viable Bacillus licheniformis count in CFU/g, moisture, appearance, odor, particle size or sieve profile, total plate count where relevant, yeast and mold, coliforms, Salmonella absence in a defined sample size, and heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.

Manufacturing and supply-chain controls are managed with feed and food-safety discipline, and documentation for HACCP-aligned systems, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status may be available on request depending on production site and lot. Procurement teams can review document availability through /quality/ before tender approval. ArtemisYeast supports specification matching, export packing confirmation, and bulk quote on request through /request-quote/ for mills, integrators, distributors, and premix manufacturers.
