Key Metrics

Mechanism of Action & Benefits

• Historically produced as single-cell protein (SCP), cultured on food-industry and pulping byproducts as substrates, yielding a high-quality protein source with balanced amino acid composition for feed formulation
• Rich in nucleic acids (RNA) and cell-wall β-glucans/mannans, supporting nucleic acid metabolism and immune development, particularly important for young and juvenile animals
• Used in aquafeed as a sustainable fishmeal alternative, able to partially replace fishmeal and plant protein in salmon, trout, and other aquaculture diets while maintaining growth performance
• Cell-wall polysaccharides act similarly to other yeast β-glucans and mannans, supporting intestinal mucosal health and modulating innate immune responses
• Holds long-established GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status with decades of use in the food and feed industries, supporting its suitability as a non-fishmeal protein raw material
• Included in aquafeed and ruminant protein formulations to help improve nitrogen retention and feed conversion

Recommended Dosage

Recommended minimum inclusion: 0.1–2×10⁸ CFU per kg body weight, adjusted by target species. For feed inclusion, calculate from body weight and target intake.
