Description

1.Coated DHA Feed Granules from Schizochytrium

Coated DHA Feed Granules are a specialized omega-3 feed additive designed for ruminant nutrition. The product contains ≥5% Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and is produced from the marine microalgae Schizochytrium sp. using controlled microbial fermentation technology.
DHA is an important long-chain omega-3 fatty acid widely recognized for its role in animal development, immune regulation, reproductive performance, and product quality. In livestock production, DHA supplementation helps improve the nutritional value of animal-derived foods such as milk and meat.
Because ruminant digestion involves microbial fermentation in the rumen, direct supplementation of oils or unprotected fatty acids can result in degradation before absorption. To address this challenge, the DHA in this product is processed into coated granules, allowing more efficient delivery and utilization in ruminant animals.
The coating process enhances the stability of DHA during feed processing and digestion, making the product suitable for large-scale feed manufacturing and livestock nutrition programs.

2.Production Process

Coated DHA Feed Granules are produced through a multi-step biotechnology and feed processing system.
2.1 Microbial Fermentation
The production begins with selected Schizochytrium sp. strains cultivated in controlled fermentation systems. Glucose and yeast extract are used as key substrates to support microbial growth and DHA accumulation.
During fermentation, the microalgae produce lipids rich in DHA.
2.2Biomass Separation
After fermentation, the microbial biomass is separated and processed to obtain DHA-rich raw materials.
2.3Spray Drying
The processed material is spray-dried to form a stable powder containing DHA and other naturally occurring components from the fermentation process.
2.4Carrier Coating and Granulation
The dried DHA-rich material is combined with suitable carriers and processed into coated granules. The coating technology helps protect DHA during feed storage, handling, and digestion.
This production method ensures consistent quality, good stability, and suitability for industrial feed applications.

3.Key Applications

Ruminant Nutrition
Coated DHA Feed Granules are specifically developed for ruminant livestock production, including dairy cattle and dairy goats.
The product is commonly used as a functional feed additive in ruminant feed formulations.

3.1Dairy Production Enhancement
When added to the feed of dairy cows and dairy goats, coated DHA granules can help enrich milk with DHA.
Benefits include:
•Increased DHA concentration in milk
•Production of high-value DHA-enriched dairy products
•Improved nutritional profile of milk and dairy products
This allows dairy producers to meet the growing market demand for functional dairy products enriched with omega-3 fatty acids.

3.2 Improvement of Milk Quality and Flavor Balance
Adding coated DHA to dairy feed helps balance the nutritional enrichment process.
The product can support milk enrichment while helping reduce negative effects sometimes associated with external oil supplementation, such as undesirable flavor changes or increased feed costs.
Through controlled supplementation, producers can achieve improved nutritional value while maintaining acceptable milk taste and quality.

3.3Meat Quality Improvement
DHA supplementation in ruminant feed can also influence the nutritional quality of meat.
When coated DHA granules are incorporated into cattle and sheep feed formulations, DHA can contribute to:
•Improved meat nutritional profile
•Enhanced meat quality
•Better flavor characteristics
These benefits support the production of higher-value livestock products.

3.4Improvement of Physiological Functions
Supplementing ruminant diets with DHA may help support several physiological functions in livestock.
Potential benefits include:
•Improved reproductive performance
•Increased offspring survival rate
•Enhanced immune response
•Greater resistance to disease
•Better tolerance to environmental stress
These benefits contribute to improved productivity and overall livestock management outcomes.
