β-Glucanase Feed Enzyme for Livestock

ART-EN-026 is a powdered β-glucanase preparation designed for industrial feed use where soluble and insoluble beta-glucans can affect mash handling, pellet conditioning, and nutrient matrix calculations. The enzyme cleaves β-1,3 and β-1,4 glucosidic linkages in cereal cell-wall polysaccharides, reducing substrate complexity before or during feed processing. It is commonly specified for poultry, swine, ruminant, and aquaculture feed programs that use barley, oats, rye, triticale, wheat by-products, or other glucan-containing raw materials.

Typical commercial specifications may include activity options such as 10,000 to 50,000 U/g, moisture not more than 10%, light tan to brown powder appearance, carrier based on food or feed-compatible excipients, and 95% passing 40 mesh or finer, depending on the selected grade. This is not a live yeast product and does not carry a CFU/g specification. For related process enzyme options, see enzymes and fermentation ingredients.

• Compound feed manufacturing: inclusion in premix or complete feed formulas for cereal-heavy rations where beta-glucan substrate reduction is required by the nutrition matrix.
• Livestock and poultry nutrition: use in broiler, layer, turkey, piglet, grower-finisher, dairy, beef, and small-ruminant feed systems, subject to the nutritionist’s formulation target and local feed regulations.
• Pelleting and mash systems: compatible with dry blending and post-grinding addition. For high-temperature conditioning, thermostable grade selection and process validation are recommended.
• Premix and additive blending: suitable for vitamin-mineral premix operations when dust control, segregation control, and enzyme overage are managed in the plant’s standard operating procedures.
• R&D and procurement qualification: available for comparative testing against existing enzyme matrices, with bulk quote on request via ArtemisYeast inquiry support.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, typically below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, high humidity, steam lines, and strong odors. Recommended shelf life is normally 12 to 24 months from manufacture when retained in original packaging; the confirmed date is stated on the lot certificate or product label. Reseal opened bags promptly and use first-in, first-out inventory rotation.

As with other powdered feed additives, avoid unnecessary dust generation during weighing and transfer. Operators should use local exhaust, gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection as required by the site safety assessment and SDS.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-EN-026 for B2B qualification with lot-based documentation. Available documents may include certificate of analysis, technical data sheet, safety data sheet, allergen statement, feed-grade declaration, country-of-origin details, and packaging photos. Microbiological, heavy metal, and activity testing can be specified by project where required for import clearance or customer approval.

Manufacturing and packing are controlled under documented food or feed safety systems. HACCP-aligned information and site certificates such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher may be provided when available for the producing site and lot. Review documentation options at quality and compliance support before purchase approval.
