Yeast Extract for Animal Feed and Aquaculture

ART-AN-102 is a spray-dried yeast extract powder produced from yeast biomass by controlled autolysis and separation of soluble fractions. The product is designed for feed formulators requiring a concentrated source of yeast-derived nitrogen, flavor-active peptides, nucleotides, and naturally occurring micronutrients. Typical appearance is light yellow to brown free-flowing powder, with a savory yeast odor and particle size commonly passing 60 to 80 mesh, depending on production lot.

Indicative specification targets may include moisture ≤6.0%, crude protein ≥55.0%, total nitrogen ≥8.5%, amino nitrogen ≥3.0%, ash ≤12.0%, and pH 5.0–7.0 in solution. Nucleotide content is commonly specified by project requirement, often in the 5–8% range for feed formulations where soluble yeast solids are used to improve diet palatability and nutrient density. For related feed yeast materials, review the animal nutrition yeast category or request a grade comparison for your ration model.

• Aquaculture feed: used in shrimp, marine fish, freshwater fish, and starter feed formulas where water-stable pellets require concentrated soluble yeast flavor and nitrogen contribution.
• Swine and piglet diets: incorporated into creep feed, nursery feed, and premix systems to support diet acceptance during ingredient transitions and high-density formulation.
• Poultry feed: suitable for broiler, layer, breeder, and young-bird diets as a yeast-derived protein and flavor matrix in mash, crumble, or pelleted feed.
• Ruminant and calf nutrition: applied in milk replacer blends, calf starter, mineral premixes, and compound feed where soluble yeast nutrients are required.
• Pet food and specialty feed: used in dry kibble, wet food, treats, and palatant blends when a clean-label yeast extract ingredient is specified.
• Premix manufacturing: compatible with vitamin-mineral premixes, protein concentrates, and functional feed additive blends, subject to flowability and hygroscopicity control.

Supply format is 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack with inner liner unless otherwise agreed. Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, floor moisture, volatile chemicals, and strong odors. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C with relative humidity controlled below 65% where practical. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is 18 to 24 months from manufacture, confirmed by lot-specific certificate of analysis.

Yeast extract is hygroscopic and should be reclosed promptly after opening. Use dust control, local ventilation, and standard feed-plant personal protective equipment during charging, blending, and pneumatic transfer. For pelleting or extrusion, validate inclusion rate, heat exposure, residence time, and final moisture in the finished feed. If you are scaling from trial batches to commercial production, submit your annual volume, destination port, and packaging needs through bulk quote on request for procurement planning.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-102 for feed-industry use with lot traceability and specification review before shipment. Quality checks may include appearance, odor, moisture, protein, ash, nitrogen profile, particle size, microbiological limits, heavy metals screening, and contaminants testing aligned with destination-market feed requirements. Typical microbiological limits can be specified for total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for common feed-relevant pathogens as agreed in the purchase specification.

Documentation available on request may include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, feed-grade declaration, non-GMO statement where applicable, allergen statement, origin statement, and packaging photos. HACCP-aligned manufacturing information and food or feed safety system documentation, including ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status where applicable to the production site and lot, can be reviewed during qualification.
