Top Feed Yeast Companies

The feed yeast market is highly competitive, with domestic and international companies competing through collaborations and R&D. Companies such as Angel Yeast, Lesaffre, and Lallemand are investing in R&D to offer tailor-made yeast formulations. Two of the growth drivers are enhancing manufacturing technology and entering into strategic partnerships with feed manufacturers. To meet the increasing global demand in a sustainable manner, market leaders are also increasing their geographic presence and building their supply chains.

• Mozza Foods (2018): In 2018, Mozza Foods, an American company, redirected its efforts from the development of fermentation for use in alternative dairy proteins to finding wider applications for its proprietary yeast technology. The company then diversified into the animal nutrition and agriculture industries, employing yeast fermentation to produce sustainable feed additives. Demand for nutritional solutions free of antibiotics is increasing due to these additives, which improve livestock intestinal health and feed efficiency.

• Agilis Biotech (2013): Agilis Biotech is a European biotech firm established in 2013 and focused on microbial and fermentation-based technologies for animal health. Although it was established earlier, its major contributions to the feed yeast industry have only recently emerged. With industry goals of high-performance and sustainable animal feeds, the firm develops outstanding blends of yeast derivatives to enhance nutrient uptake, immunoenhancement, and gastrointestinal health in animals.
