Application

  • Sustainable protein source for pet food and livestock feed.
  • Utilization of waste wood for eco-friendly and allergen-free nutrition.

Description

Arbiom is developing a sustainable protein source for pet food and livestock feed by using torula yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii) to digest wood residues from the timber industry. Their product, SylPro, has shown promising results in aquaculture trials and is now being evaluated for use in pet feed. Torula yeast provides a renewable, non-competitive, allergen-free protein, offering health benefits for digestion. This innovative approach contributes to reducing waste and creating a sustainable alternative to traditional feed ingredients.
