Feed-Grade Bacillus Licheniformis

ART-AN-008 is a concentrated Bacillus licheniformis spore preparation designed for feed manufacturers, premix blenders, integrators, and aquafeed plants that require a heat-tolerant microbial ingredient. Typical specification targets include live spore count of 1.0×10^10 CFU/g, moisture not more than 10%, and a free-flowing powder profile suitable for dry blending. Particle size is commonly controlled around 40–80 mesh, with final values confirmed by certificate of analysis for each lot.

The product is selected for industrial feed processing where survivability, uniform dispersion, and predictable inclusion rates are important. Bacillus spores are naturally more stable than vegetative cultures during storage and moderate pelleting exposure, making the ingredient suitable for premix systems, compound feed, fermented feed substrates, and aquaculture diets. ART-AN-008 can be used alone or formulated with inactive yeast, yeast cell wall, nucleotide-rich yeast extract, minerals, organic acids, or other permitted feed ingredients. For formulation planning, request a bulk quote with target CFU level, species, inclusion rate, pack size, and destination port.

• Livestock and ruminant feed: inclusion in total mixed rations, mineral premixes, calf feed, dairy concentrates, beef finishing feed, and farm-level top-dress blends where a stable spore-form ingredient is required.
• Poultry nutrition: use in broiler, layer, breeder, and pullet feed programs, including mash or pelleted compound feed produced under controlled process temperatures.
• Swine feed: suitable for nursery, grower, finisher, and sow rations, generally added through premix or complete feed manufacturing rather than direct hand dosing.
• Aquaculture feed: applicable to shrimp, fish, and other aquatic species feeds where water-stable, dry-form microbial ingredients are specified by the nutritionist.
• Premix and concentrate manufacturing: compatible with many dry carriers when mixing time, coefficient of variation, and lot traceability are controlled at plant level.

Store ART-AN-008 in the original sealed 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage is below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, condensation, steam lines, strong odors, and oxidizing materials. Keep pallets off the floor and protect bags from puncture, compression damage, and moisture migration during container unloading and warehouse transfer.

Typical shelf life is 18 to 24 months from production date when stored under recommended conditions, subject to the confirmed lot specification. After opening, reseal the bag promptly and use the remaining material according to plant hygiene procedures. For pelleted feed, validate spore recovery under the customer’s actual conditioning temperature, retention time, die pressure, and cooling profile. Operators should use standard feed-plant dust controls, gloves, eye protection, and local respiratory protection where airborne powder exposure may occur.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-008 for professional feed applications with lot-level traceability and specification review before shipment. A typical documentation package may include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, allergen statement when applicable, non-animal-origin or feed-grade declaration when applicable, packing list, and commercial shipping documents. Microbial identity, CFU count, moisture, appearance, and contaminant limits can be aligned with the purchasing specification before order confirmation.

Manufacturing controls are reviewed against feed-safety expectations, including HACCP-aligned handling and documentation availability for ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status when applicable to the supplied origin and lot. Procurement teams can review ArtemisYeast quality documentation before releasing a purchase order. Bulk quote on request is available for 25 kg sacks, palletized orders, and export containers.
