- Feed additive distributors
It supports the production of DHA-enriched animal products such as eggs, milk, meat, and aquatic products, meeting the growing demand for functional and high-value animal nutrition.
Custom packaging and OEM solutions are available for global B2B partners, ensuring flexible supply and application-specific support.
Description
1.Feed Grade DHA Algal Oil from Schizochytrium
Feed Grade DHA Algal Oil is a specialized omega-3 fatty acid feed additive produced using the marine microalgae Schizochytrium sp. as the fermentation strain. Through controlled biological fermentation technology and modern extraction processes, the product provides a highly concentrated and stable source of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) for animal nutrition and feed formulation.
DHA is one of the most important long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) required for optimal development of the nervous system, visual organs, immune functions, and overall growth performance in animals. As global demand for functional feed ingredients continues to rise, algal-derived DHA has become a preferred alternative to fish oil due to its sustainability, purity, and consistent quality.
This feed grade DHA oil contains ≥35% or ≥40% DHA, providing a highly efficient way to fortify feed formulations with omega-3 fatty acids. The product is suitable for industrial-scale feed production and can be incorporated into a wide range of feed systems.
2.Production Process
The product is manufactured using Schizochytrium sp. microalgae through a multi-stage biotechnology process:
2.1Microbial Fermentation
Selected Schizochytrium strains are cultivated in controlled fermentation tanks where they accumulate high levels of DHA-rich lipids.
2.2Biomass Separation
After fermentation, the algal biomass is separated and purified to ensure high-quality raw material for oil extraction.
2.3Oil Extraction and Processing
DHA-rich oil is extracted from the biomass using advanced processing techniques to maintain fatty acid stability and product purity.
This controlled production system ensures consistent DHA concentration, reliable supply, and industrial scalability, making it suitable for global feed manufacturing.
3.Key Applications
3.1Aquaculture Hatchery and Larval Nutrition
DHA plays a critical role in the early developmental stages of aquatic organisms. Feed Grade DHA Algal Oil is widely used in hatchery feeds for larvae and juvenile aquatic species.
Benefits include:
•Improved larval survival rate
•Enhanced immune response
•Increased resistance to environmental stress
•Better growth and development performance
This application is particularly important in hatchery systems where optimal nutrition directly affects productivity and survival.
3.2Aquaculture Farming
The product is widely used in feed formulations for a variety of aquaculture species including:
•Eel
•Sturgeon
•Catfish
•Yellow eel
•Soft-shell turtle
•Shrimp and other omnivorous aquatic species
In aquaculture production, DHA Algal Oil can help:
•Improve broodstock reproductive performance
•Increase egg production and egg quality
•Improve hatching rates
•Enhance feed palatability
•Increase DHA levels in aquatic products
This contributes to higher-value seafood products that meet growing consumer demand for omega-3 enriched foods.
3.3Livestock and Poultry Feed
DHA Algal Oil can be used as a functional feed additive for livestock and poultry, including:
•Dairy cattle
•Chickens
•Pigs
•Sheep
•Other farmed animals
Supplementation with DHA supports overall animal health while enabling the production of DHA-enriched animal products, including:
•DHA-enriched eggs
•DHA-enriched milk
•DHA-enriched meat
This helps producers create premium animal products with improved nutritional value and enhanced market competitiveness.
3.4Pet Nutrition
DHA is also an important nutrient in pet nutrition, especially during early development.
In pet feed formulations for cats, dogs, and ornamental fish, DHA Algal Oil may support:
•Brain and cognitive development in young animals
•Vision development
•Skin and coat health
•Immune system support
These benefits make DHA an important ingredient in premium pet food and specialized nutrition products.
