Active Dry Yeast for Ruminant Feed

ART-AN-043 is a feed-grade active dry yeast designed for animal nutrition formulations where live yeast count, low moisture, and lot consistency are procurement priorities. The product is typically specified as dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae with viable count targets around 5×10^10 CFU/g, moisture not more than 8.0%, crude protein typically 35–45%, and ash typically below 10%, subject to final certificate of analysis. It is produced as a tan to light-brown free-flowing granule or powder with a typical 40–80 mesh particle profile for blending into premixes, concentrates, total mixed ration top dress systems, and pelleted feeds where process temperature exposure is controlled.

In ruminant nutrition, active dry yeast is used as a functional feed microorganism to support stable ration performance and microbial activity in the rumen environment. For feed mills and integrators, the key purchasing variables are CFU retention, dust control, moisture, heavy metals, microbiology, packaging integrity, and traceability by lot. ArtemisYeast supplies this SKU as part of its animal nutrition yeast portfolio, with bulk quote on request for regional distributors, feed premix plants, dairy nutrition programs, and livestock operators sourcing direct shipment quantities.

• Dairy and beef ruminant feed: inclusion in compound feed, mineral-vitamin premixes, calf starter, dairy concentrate, beef finishing ration supplements, and top-dress blends where live yeast is specified by CFU/g.
• Premix and feed mill manufacturing: suitable for dry blending with carriers such as wheat middlings, rice hull powder, calcium carbonate, or other approved feed carriers. Low moisture and free-flowing structure support dosing accuracy in automated micro-ingredient systems.
• Swine, poultry, and aquaculture formulas: may be evaluated by nutritionists as a yeast-based feed ingredient in species-specific programs, depending on local feed regulations, formulation objectives, and process conditions.
• Distributor private-label programs: available in 25 kg feed sacks, with pallet and container options. Buyers can request a bulk quote with target CFU/g, destination port, annual volume, and documentation requirements.

Store ART-AN-043 in the original sealed 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage is below 25°C and below 65% relative humidity, away from direct sunlight, water condensation, strong odors, sanitizing chemicals, and pest exposure. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is up to 24 months from manufacture, subject to the retained viability limit stated on the lot CoA.

Because this is an active dry yeast, high heat, steam conditioning, and prolonged pelleting exposure can reduce viable count. If used in pelleted feed, validation trials are recommended to measure CFU retention after conditioning and cooling. Reseal opened bags promptly, rotate inventory on a first-expiry-first-out basis, and avoid compressing bags in a way that damages the inner liner or increases powder compaction.

Each shipment can be supported with a lot-specific certificate of analysis covering appearance, moisture, viable yeast count, microbiological indicators, and other agreed specifications. Typical feed safety checks may include total plate count, coliforms, Salmonella status, yeast and mold profile where applicable, and heavy metals according to buyer or destination-market requirements. Specifications should be confirmed at quotation stage because regulatory limits and test methods vary by country.

Manufacturing and packing are managed under feed-safety and traceability controls aligned with HACCP principles. Documentation available on request may include CoA, product specification sheet, safety data sheet, allergen statement, non-animal-origin statement, GMO-status statement where applicable, Halal or Kosher documentation where available, and ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 documentation where available.
