Probiotics for Animal Feed Aquaculture

ART-AN-084 is a yeast-based probiotic feed ingredient produced for animal nutrition applications where viable microbial count, batch traceability, and practical handling are procurement priorities. The typical specification target is live Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 5×10^10 CFU/g, with moisture generally not more than 8.0%, crude protein typically 35–45%, ash not more than 8.0%, and a free-flowing powder or granule profile suitable for premix incorporation. Particle size can be aligned to feed-mill needs, commonly 20–60 mesh, subject to production lot and agreed specification.

The ingredient is positioned for use in dry feed systems, mineral-vitamin premixes, milk replacer support blends, and aquaculture feeds where formulators require a non-liquid probiotic format. It can be sourced within the ArtemisYeast animal nutrition yeast category together with yeast culture, inactive yeast, yeast cell wall, and autolyzed yeast ingredients. For formulation trials, buyers may request current technical data, lot availability, and a bulk quote on request.

• Aquaculture feeds: inclusion in shrimp, tilapia, carp, catfish, and marine fish diets where a dry live yeast probiotic is required for feed manufacturing and farm programs.
• Livestock and ruminant nutrition: use in complete feed, top-dress blends, calf and lamb starter feeds, and total mixed ration additives, subject to local feed regulations and nutritionist approval.
• Poultry and swine feed: suitable for premixers and compound feed plants formulating starter, grower, finisher, layer, sow, or nursery feed programs that specify live yeast count per gram.
• Premix and specialty feed manufacturing: compatible with carriers such as rice hull powder, wheat middlings, calcium carbonate, or dextrose-based systems after stability confirmation by the formulator.
• R&D and scale-up: used by feed nutritionists to evaluate dose rate, pellet stability, post-pellet application, and finished-feed CFU recovery before commercial purchase.

Store unopened 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sacks in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse, ideally below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, condensation, and strong odors. Keep packaging sealed after opening and use promptly to limit moisture uptake and loss of viable count. Typical shelf life is 12 to 24 months from production when stored under recommended conditions; the confirmed shelf life is stated on the certificate of analysis or product label for the specific batch.

Because live yeast viability can be affected by heat, pressure, and moisture, customers should validate performance in their own feed process. For pelleted feed, evaluate conditioning temperature, retention time, die friction, and post-pellet liquid application options. Avoid direct blending with highly oxidative chemicals or aggressive acid systems unless compatibility has been tested.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-084 for industrial feed procurement with batch coding, retained-sample control, and specification review before shipment. Standard documentation can include certificate of analysis, product specification sheet, safety data sheet where applicable, feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO statement if available for the selected lot, and country-of-origin documentation. Microbiological parameters typically cover total plate count, coliforms, yeast viability, Salmonella status, and mold limits according to the agreed specification.

Manufacturing and logistics documentation related to HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher status may be provided where available for the production site and product grade. Buyers can review ArtemisYeast quality practices at quality and documentation before placing an inquiry. Pre-shipment samples, retained samples, and third-party inspection can be discussed for container orders.
