Selenium Yeast for Animal Feed Poultry

ART-AN-095 selenium yeast is produced by cultivating selected yeast under controlled selenium enrichment, followed by inactivation, drying, milling, and blending to a declared selenium potency. The selenium is primarily associated with yeast biomass as organic selenium species, including selenomethionine-containing proteins. This format is designed for uniform incorporation into vitamin-mineral premixes, poultry concentrates, and compound feeds.

Typical procurement specifications include selenium 1,000–3,000 mg/kg by assay, moisture not more than 8.0%, crude protein not less than 35%, ash not more than 15%, and particle size through 40–80 mesh depending on lot and customer requirement. Heavy metals, microbiology, and mycotoxin limits are controlled by feed-grade specifications and confirmed by lot documentation. For adjacent feed yeast ingredients, see the animal nutrition yeast category.

• Poultry feed: inclusion in broiler, layer, breeder, turkey, and duck premixes where formulated selenium levels must be delivered accurately through mash, crumble, or pellet systems.
• Swine nutrition: use in sow, nursery, grower, and finisher premixes as an organic selenium source compatible with standard mineral and vitamin blends.
• Ruminant feed: blending into dairy, beef, sheep, and goat mineral packs, total mixed ration supplements, and lick-block formulations subject to local selenium limits.
• Aquaculture and pet food: incorporation into extruded or pelleted diets when a yeast-derived trace mineral carrier is specified.
• Premix manufacturing: suitable for dilution with limestone, rice hull carrier, yeast carrier, or other approved feed carriers before addition to complete feed. ArtemisYeast can support bulk quote on request through the request quote page.

Store unopened sacks in a clean, dry, ventilated warehouse at 5–25°C, away from direct sunlight, condensation, strong odors, and oxidizing chemicals. Keep relative humidity below 65% where possible. Standard shelf life is typically 24 months from production date when stored in original packaging and handled under good feed manufacturing practice.

Use dust control during bag dumping, weighing, and premix blending. Selenium yeast is a concentrated trace mineral ingredient and should not be fed directly to animals; it must be dosed by trained personnel according to the intended ration, background selenium contribution, species, life stage, and destination-market regulations. Reseal partial sacks promptly and consume opened material as soon as practical.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-095 for industrial feed procurement with lot-level traceability and specification review before shipment. A certificate of analysis can list selenium assay, moisture, crude protein, particle size, microbiological results, and selected heavy metal limits such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. Additional documents may include feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, safety data sheet, packing list, and country-of-origin information.

Manufacturing and supply-chain documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 status where applicable, and Halal or Kosher declarations when available for the producing site and lot. Buyers can review ArtemisYeast documentation practices at quality and documentation before placing a purchase inquiry.
