Bacillus Subtilis for Animal Feed

ART-AN-052 is a feed-grade Bacillus subtilis preparation intended for industrial feed mills, premix manufacturers, integrators, and nutrition formulators. The organism is supplied as stable spores on a feed-compatible carrier, making it suitable for dry blending into vitamin-mineral premixes, complete feeds, concentrates, and specialty nutrition products. Compared with non-spore-forming cultures, Bacillus subtilis spores are selected for processing tolerance, storage stability, and compatibility with conventional pelleting conditions when formulation and process temperatures are controlled.

Typical specification targets may include viable count options from 1×10^10 CFU/g to 2×10^11 CFU/g, moisture not more than 10%, light tan to brown powder appearance, and a fine powder particle profile suitable for uniform feed dispersion. Final specifications are confirmed by lot, assay strength, and destination regulations. For related feed ingredients, buyers can review the animal nutrition yeast category or request a combined sourcing brief for yeast derivatives and bacillus-based feed additives.

• Poultry feed: inclusion in broiler, layer, breeder, and turkey formulas through premix or complete-feed blending, subject to nutritionist dosage design.
• Swine nutrition: use in nursery, grower-finisher, and sow feed programs where a dry, spore-forming microbial additive is specified for formulation consistency.
• Ruminant feed: suitable for dairy, beef, calf, sheep, and goat premixes, including mineral blocks, concentrates, and total mixed ration supplements when dry handling is required.
• Aquaculture feed: applicable to extruded or cold-processed fish and shrimp feed systems where the selected active count and process tolerance are validated by the feed manufacturer.
• Premix and feed additive manufacturing: used as a functional microbial component in multi-ingredient blends, often alongside inactive yeast, yeast cell wall fractions, minerals, organic acids, or botanical feed materials.

Recommended inclusion rate depends on target CFU per kilogram of finished feed, local feed regulations, processing loss assumptions, and other components in the formulation. ArtemisYeast can coordinate technical review and a bulk quote on request for sack, pallet, or container quantities.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, condensation, strong odors, and volatile chemicals. Recommended storage is below 25°C with relative humidity controlled to limit caking and activity loss. Keep packaging sealed after partial use and avoid repeated exposure to high humidity. Typical shelf life is 12 to 24 months when stored under recommended conditions; the confirmed shelf life is stated on the lot documentation.

The standard pack is a 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack, usually with an inner liner for moisture protection. Product should be handled with standard dust-control procedures used for dry feed powders, including local extraction where tipping stations are used. For pelleted feed, validate survival under the actual conditioning temperature, residence time, moisture, die pressure, and post-pellet cooling profile used in the plant.

Each commercial lot can be supplied with a Certificate of Analysis covering viable count, appearance, moisture, and relevant microbiological parameters as agreed in the purchase specification. Feed-grade declaration, composition statement, allergen statement, non-GMO status where applicable, heavy metal limits, and safety data sheet can be provided on request. Manufacturing and supplier controls are managed through HACCP-aligned procedures, and ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation may be available depending on the producing site and lot.

ArtemisYeast supports procurement review with specification matching, export documentation, pallet configuration, and shipment planning for international feed buyers. Quality files, traceability records, and inspection requirements can be discussed through the quality documentation process before purchase order placement. This is an inquiry-only product; wholesale pricing on request is provided after assay, volume, packaging, and destination are confirmed.
