Yeast Beta-Glucan for Animal Feed and Aquaculture

ART-AN-063 is a feed-grade yeast beta-glucan powder derived from yeast cell wall material and standardized for beta-1,3/1,6-glucan content. It is designed for nutrition programs where formulation teams require a consistent, non-live yeast fraction rather than active dry yeast. Typical specification targets include beta-glucan not less than 70%, moisture not more than 8%, crude protein not more than 8%, ash not more than 8%, and particle size of 95% passing 80 mesh, subject to lot-specific certificate of analysis.

The product is a cream to light tan powder with neutral to mildly yeasty odor and good dispersibility in dry carriers. It can be blended into vitamin-mineral premixes, starter feeds, milk replacer systems, shrimp and fish diets, and pellet or extruded feed matrices. For related feed yeast materials, buyers can review the animal nutrition yeast category and compare specifications against complete ration requirements, target inclusion rates, and processing conditions.

• Aquaculture feed: Used in shrimp, freshwater fish, marine fish, and hatchery diets where a concentrated yeast cell wall beta-glucan source is preferred over whole yeast. Suitable for mash, micro-pellet, pelleted, and extruded feed systems when validated by the feed mill.
• Poultry nutrition: Applied in broiler, layer, and breeder premixes as a yeast-derived functional fiber fraction. It is compatible with common mineral carriers, amino acids, organic acids, and standard premix blending procedures.
• Swine feed: Used in nursery, grower, finisher, and sow formulations where nutritionists require a defined beta-1,3/1,6-glucan input with low moisture and controlled particle size.
• Ruminant and calf feed: Can be included in calf starter, milk replacer support blends, mineral blocks, and complete feeds, subject to ration balancing and local feed regulations.
• Pet food and specialty feed: Suitable for dry pet food, treats for companion animals, and specialty premixes when a feed-grade yeast cell wall fraction is specified. For project evaluation, submit formulation targets through request a bulk quote and include species, inclusion range, and annual volume.

ART-AN-063 is packed in 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sacks with an inner liner, suitable for palletized export and feed-mill receiving. Store unopened bags in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse at recommended temperatures below 25 °C and relative humidity below 65%. Keep away from direct sunlight, condensation, strong odors, and floor contact. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacturing date, confirmed by lot documentation.

Because this product is a dry powder, operators should minimize dust generation during tipping, conveying, and premix charging. Use local ventilation and standard feed-plant personal protective equipment. Reseal opened bags promptly or transfer to clean, dry containers. Validate flowability, mixing uniformity, pellet stability, and extrusion performance under site-specific feed processing parameters before commercial rollout.

Each production lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis covering appearance, moisture, beta-glucan content, ash, protein, particle size, and microbiological indicators as applicable. Typical microbiology controls may include total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for key feed safety organisms, with results reported according to the applicable method used by the manufacturing laboratory.

Manufacturing is managed under feed-safety and traceability controls aligned with HACCP principles. Documentation available on request may include CoA, specification sheet, safety data sheet, feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, and Halal, Kosher, ISO 22000, or FSSC 22000 documentation where available for the specific supply route.
