Feed Yeast Ingredient for Pet Food

ART-AN-014 is designed for dry and semi-moist pet food systems, livestock feeds, poultry diets, ruminant supplements, swine premixes, and aquaculture feeds where a consistent yeast-derived ingredient is required. As an inactive dried yeast product, it is not specified by viable CFU count; instead, procurement and formulation teams evaluate it by proximate analysis, microbiological limits, sensory profile, particle size, and lot documentation. Typical targets may include crude protein of 40-48%, moisture not more than 8%, ash not more than 8%, and a fine tan-to-brown powder or granular appearance suitable for feed mixing.

The ingredient contributes amino acids, B-group vitamin fractions naturally present in yeast, nucleotides, mannan oligosaccharide components, and beta-glucan-containing yeast cell wall material. These characteristics make it useful when formulators need a non-animal, fermentation-based component for palatability systems or nutritional balancing. Typical particle size can be specified around 60-80 mesh, with customized sieving reviewed for contract supply. For related materials, see our animal nutrition yeast category.

• Pet food palatability and nutrition: used in kibble, treats, toppers, and wet or semi-moist blends to provide fermentation-derived savory notes and a protein contribution without relying on meat meals alone.
• Livestock and ruminant feed: incorporated into compound feed, mineral blocks, and premixes where feed mills require a stable inactive yeast source compatible with pelleting and mixing operations.
• Poultry and swine formulas: suitable for mash, crumble, pellet, and premix systems where consistent flowability, dispersion, and batch-to-batch proximate data are important for plant-scale formulation control.
• Aquaculture feed: used in extruded and pelleted aquatic feeds as a yeast-derived nutrient and flavor component for fish and shrimp formulations, subject to species-specific ration design.
• Contract manufacturing: appropriate for private-label feed operators and regional distributors that require 25 kg feed sacks, palletized shipment, and repeatable documentation. To discuss volumes, specifications, and shipment lanes, submit a bulk quote on request.

Store ART-AN-014 in the original sealed 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage conditions are below 25°C, protected from direct sunlight, condensation, insects, and strong odors. Keep pallets off the floor and away from walls to reduce moisture pickup. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture, subject to the lot-specific certificate and local handling conditions.

After opening, reseal or transfer to a clean closed bin and use promptly according to site procedures. The product should be blended with calibrated dosing equipment to avoid segregation in premixes. Dust control, local exhaust, gloves, and eye protection are recommended during tipping, conveying, and bulk mixing. Do not expose the product to high humidity before processing, as yeast powders can absorb moisture and lose flowability.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-014 for feed and pet food manufacturers that require traceable lots and specification-based purchasing. A certificate of analysis can be provided for agreed parameters such as moisture, crude protein, ash, particle size, microbiological indicators, sensory appearance, and heavy metal screening where required by the purchase specification. Typical microbiological controls may include total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for key feed safety organisms according to applicable methods.

Quality documentation is available on request, including feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO status statement where applicable, country-of-origin statement, and manufacturing flow information. HACCP-aligned controls and ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation may be supplied when applicable to the producing site and shipment lot; review current documents through our quality documentation process. Final suitability should be confirmed by the buyer’s nutritionist, regulatory team, and plant trials before commercial launch.
