Cellulase for Animal Feed Livestock

ART-EN-032 is a cellulase enzyme for feed processing and livestock nutrition programs where fibrous ingredients such as bran, soybean hulls, oilseed meals, DDGS, forage meals, and cereal by-products are used. The enzyme system targets beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose and partially soluble glucan structures, supporting more predictable breakdown of plant cell-wall material during feed hydration and digestion. It is intended for B2B formulation, not direct retail sale.

Typical specification targets may include cellulase activity such as 10,000 U/g minimum, moisture not more than 8.0%, powder particle size typically 80 mesh pass, and light tan to brown free-flowing appearance, depending on the contracted grade. Microbiological limits, heavy metals, carrier composition, and activity method are defined on the certificate of analysis for each lot.

• Compound feed mills: inclusion in mash, pelleted, or crumbled feed where fiber variability affects formulation economics and feed consistency.
• Premix and additive blenders: use as a functional enzyme component in custom livestock premixes, usually blended with compatible carriers before final dosing.
• Ruminant feeds: application in total mixed ration support products, forage-based concentrates, and fiber-rich supplements where cellulose hydrolysis is part of the nutrition strategy.
• Swine and poultry feed: evaluation in diets containing bran, hulls, vegetable protein meals, or other fibrous co-products, subject to nutritionist validation and local feed regulations.
• Feed ingredient processing: use during moist conditioning, fermentation-style preprocessing, or raw material upgrading where controlled enzymatic fiber reduction is required.

Recommended use rate depends on substrate fiber content, feed form, heat exposure, target activity contribution, and the full enzyme matrix. Procurement teams can request a bulk quote with target application, annual volume, destination port, and required documents.

Store ART-EN-032 in the original sealed 25 kg multi-wall sack in a dry, ventilated warehouse, ideally below 25 °C and away from direct sunlight, condensation, strong odors, and oxidizing chemicals. Keep bags closed after opening and avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity because enzyme powders can absorb moisture and lose flowability. Typical shelf life is up to 12 months from manufacture when stored under recommended conditions; activity retention should be confirmed by lot CoA and customer stability requirements.

As with most powdered feed enzymes, use local dust-control practices, gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection where airborne powder may be generated. Avoid unnecessary heat exposure during pelleting; if high conditioning temperatures are used, request the appropriate grade or overage guidance.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-EN-032 under controlled B2B sourcing and lot-release procedures. Standard quality review can include enzyme activity, appearance, moisture, particle size, microbiological indicators, and contaminant screening according to the agreed specification. A certificate of analysis, safety data sheet, product specification sheet, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, and food or feed-grade declaration can be provided on request.

Manufacturing documentation may reference HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher files where available for the contracted source and grade; availability should be confirmed before purchase order placement.
