Feed-grade chlorella powder

The basic characteristics and sources of feed-grade chlorella powder

Feed-grade chlorella powder is a powdered product made from single-celled green algae of the Chlorella genus, which are cultivated artificially and then dried. Chlorella is one of the earliest forms of life on Earth, appearing over 2 billion years ago. It has stable genes and is spherical or elliptical in shape, with a diameter of 3 to 8 micrometers. It is widely distributed and can grow in both freshwater and saltwater. Under natural conditions, the individual quantity is relatively small, but it can be massively reproduced through artificial cultivation, resulting in a high yield. Its cells are rich in chlorophyll, and the intensity of its photosynthesis is several dozen times that of other plants. It belongs to eukaryotes. 

The main nutritional components of feed-grade microalgae powder

Feed-grade microalgae powder is rich in nutrients and is an excellent feed nutrient enhancer. The specific components are as follows: 

Protein: It accounts for approximately 50% of the dry weight and is one of its core nutritional components. 

Vitamins and minerals: Include vitamins (such as B vitamins, vitamin C, etc.), minerals (such as calcium, iron, potassium, etc.) and dietary fibers. 

Bioactive substances: Contain glycoproteins, polysaccharides, up to 13% nucleic acids, and special CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor). CGF can promote the repair of body damage and can also be used as a flavor enhancer for food applications in the fermentation field. 

The main uses of feed-grade microalgae powder

Its main application is as a nutritional enhancer, and it is widely used in the feed industry. Specific scenarios include: 

Aquatic feed: As the initial food for fish and shrimp, it provides rich nutrition for young fish and shrimp. 

Animal feed: Used in pet canned food, livestock and poultry feed, etc., to supplement proteins, vitamins and minerals, and enhance the nutritional value of the feed. 

Production and Supply of Feed-grade Microalgae Powder

Manufacturer: Currently, most of the suppliers in the market are concentrated in regions such as Sichuan and Hebei, such as Sichuan Kangbaili Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Sichuan Huayuan Shengtai Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hebei Runbu, etc. These manufacturers usually offer wholesale services and attach great importance to product quality and reputation. 

Product Certification and Packaging: Some manufacturers' products have obtained multiple certifications such as National QS, GMP, HALAL, and KOSHER. The packaging can be customized according to requirements, such as 1-5kg aluminum foil packaging or 25kg cardboard barrels, to ensure that the products are not damaged during transportation. 

The advantageous characteristics of feed-grade microalgae powder:

Highly efficient photosynthesis: High light energy utilization rate, rapid growth rate, stable yield under artificial cultivation, capable of meeting the demands of large-scale feed production. 

Comprehensive and balanced nutrition: Besides protein, it also contains various bioactive substances, which can effectively enhance the nutritional density of the feed and promote the growth and development of farmed animals. 

Adaptable: It can be cultivated in both freshwater and saltwater environments, with relatively flexible cultivation conditions, making it suitable for industrial production.
