Brewer Yeast

  • Origin: By-product of beer brewing and fermentation
  • Processing: Picked up, washed, sterilised and dried
  • Digestion rate: Up to 96%
  • Functional components: Beta-glucan, mannan oligosaccharides, nucleic acid, B vitamins

Brewer's yeast is the by-product recovered from beer fermentation. After the wort is fermented, the yeast settles in the tank having already absorbed the essence of the wort; it is then picked up, washed, sterilised and dried. What reaches the feed mill is a natural functional protein raw material with a digestion rate of up to 96%, carrying yeast protein, nucleic acid, B vitamins, beta-glucan and mannan oligosaccharides, plus the beer aroma that makes feed more palatable.

Why buyers specify this grade

  • High quality complete bacterial protein, notably rich in lysine, the amino acid cereal protein lacks
  • Digestion rate of up to 96%, so the protein is actually available to the animal
  • Natural beer aroma that enhances palatability of the ration
  • Thick cell wall supplying abundant beta-glucan and mannan oligosaccharides
  • Supplies yeast protein, nucleic acid and B vitamins in one raw material

Quality control

  • Produced by a controlled wash, sterilisation and drying sequence after recovery from the fermentation tank
  • TDS, MSDS and sample COA available for Brewer's Yeast in the document centre

Where it is used

  • Palatability enhancement in compound feed
  • Protein and lysine supplementation where cereal protein is deficient
  • Production performance, meat quality and egg production rate improvement
  • Non-specific and specific immunity support through beta-glucan and yeast polysaccharides

Who buys it

  • Feed mills formulating on lysine and digestible protein
  • Poultry producers targeting egg production rate
  • Pig and ruminant nutritionists
  • Aquafeed and pet food formulators using palatants

Problems it solves

  • Cereal-based rations running short of lysine
  • Feed intake dropping when a palatable ingredient is removed from the formula
  • Immunity dips at weaning, transport or heat stress
  • Protein sources with a high crude figure but poor actual digestibility

Packing and options

  • Inclusion rate advised against species and existing protein sources
  • Packing format confirmed at quotation

How it compares

Against yeast cell wall products, whole brewer's yeast delivers both the protein and the functional cell wall fractions in one ingredient rather than the cell wall alone. Against plant proteins, it brings lysine and B vitamins that cereal protein does not, plus a palatability effect no isolate provides.

Handling and storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place with bags sealed
  • Account for its lysine and digestible protein contribution when balancing the ration
  • Use where palatability of the finished feed is a formulation objective

FAQ

Brewer Yeast questions buyers ask

How is brewer's yeast produced

It is the yeast that settles in the beer tank after fermentation. It is picked up, washed, sterilised and dried after absorbing the essence of the wort.

How digestible is the protein

The digestion rate is up to 96%, making it a natural functional nutritional protein raw material.

Why is it used for palatability

The special beer aroma has good natural food inducing properties and enhances the palatability of animal feed.

What does it contribute to immunity

The thick cell wall is rich in beta-glucan and mannan oligosaccharides. Beta-glucan stimulates macrophage activity for non-specific immunity, and yeast polysaccharides also enhance specific immunity.

Which amino acid makes it valuable in cereal diets

Lysine, which is low in cereal protein and higher in yeast, alongside a complete range of essential amino acids.
