Yeast Glycoprotein for Animal Feed and Aquaculture

ART-AN-099 is a feed-grade yeast glycoprotein powder produced from selected yeast biomass by controlled separation, concentration, and drying. It is not positioned as a live yeast product; viable cell count is not a release specification unless a customer requests a separate live-yeast SKU. Typical specification targets may include light tan to brown powder, characteristic yeast odor, moisture not more than 8.0%, crude protein not less than 30.0%, beta-glucan 18.0-25.0%, mannan 10.0-18.0%, ash not more than 8.0%, and 80 mesh pass rate not less than 90%. Final values are confirmed by lot-specific certificate of analysis.

The ingredient is used as a yeast-vertical component in animal nutrition programs that require defined cell-wall fractions and protein-associated carbohydrates. Its mannoprotein and glucan matrix helps formulators standardize yeast-derived solids in complete feed, concentrates, premixes, milk replacer systems, shrimp feed, fish feed, and pet food. For adjacent yeast ingredients, buyers can review our animal nutrition yeast category or request a side-by-side specification comparison for ART-AN-099 against inactive yeast, yeast cell wall, and autolyzed yeast options.

• Aquaculture feed: suitable for fish and shrimp formulas requiring yeast-origin glycoprotein fractions compatible with extrusion, post-extrusion coating systems, and vitamin-mineral premix carriers.
• Swine and poultry feed: used in nursery, grower, finisher, breeder, and layer formulations where nutritionists specify inactive yeast derivatives for consistent dry-matter contribution and blend uniformity.
• Ruminant nutrition: applicable in calf starter, dairy premix, beef mineral, and total mixed ration concentrates when a non-viable yeast cell-wall fraction is preferred over live yeast.
• Premix and feed additive manufacturing: free-flowing powder format supports micro-ingredient batching, ribbon blending, and bagged premix systems; anti-caking carrier compatibility should be verified in customer trials.
• Pet food and specialty feed: can be evaluated for yeast-origin flavor contribution, label positioning, and functional carbohydrate content in dry kibble, treats, and supplement blends.
• Process compatibility: typical inclusion levels are set by the feed nutritionist; ArtemisYeast can provide pilot-lot samples, particle-size guidance, and bulk quote on request for commercial procurement.

Store ART-AN-099 in the original sealed 25 kg woven polypropylene feed sack in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage conditions are below 25°C, relative humidity below 65%, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong odors, and floor moisture. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture, subject to the date printed on the production lot and the customer’s local feed regulations.

Keep bags closed after opening and use opened material promptly to limit moisture pickup. During plant handling, avoid excessive dust generation and follow standard feed-mill personal protective practices, including eye protection and dust mask use where airborne powder is present. The product is suitable for dry batching and should be introduced through calibrated dosing systems for accurate inclusion.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-AN-099 for B2B feed and aquaculture customers under lot-controlled production and traceable packaging. Standard release checks may include appearance, odor, moisture, crude protein, beta-glucan, mannan, ash, particle size, and microbiological indicators such as total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence of Salmonella in the tested sample size. Heavy metal and mycotoxin panels can be discussed for destination-specific compliance.

Available documentation may include certificate of analysis, specification sheet, safety data sheet, feed-grade declaration, allergen statement, country-of-origin statement, and applicable HACCP-aligned, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher records where they apply to the production lot. Buyers can review our documentation approach at quality and compliance or submit target specifications with the purchase inquiry.
