Wheat is a versatile cereal used for various purposes, such as human consumption, fibre and biofuels. The production and processing of wheat result in various co-products, including wheat yeast concentrate.
Wheat co-products are among the most versatile nutrients available. A few examples of these co-products include wheat starch, wheat groats and wheat gluten. These co-products are produced as wheat is processed into foodstuffs, as well as during the production of renewable energy, such as bioethanol. Bioethanol is a form of renewable energy that is produced through the fermentation of organic materials, such as corn, sugarcane and wheat. This production process results in wheat yeast concentrate.
Sustainable & efficient
Using this co-product as feed for pigs, cows and insects allows companies to reduce food waste and material waste. Wheat yeast concentrate not only forms an excellent ration supplement, but replacing other protein sources in animal feed for wheat yeast concentrate also reduces CO2 emissions. As such, using wheat yeast concentrate for animal feed contributes to a more sustainable, efficient and economically responsible food chain.

Thanks to its high protein content, wheat yeast concentrate is an excellent source of protein for cattle. After all, proteins are essential for muscle and tissue development and for milk production in cattle. On top of that, wheat yeast concentrate is highly digestible. This means it can easily be absorbed by the digestive system of the cattle. Another benefit of wheat yeast concentrate is its low fat content. This makes it suitable as a protein source in high-energy diets. In addition to protein, this co-product also contains other valuable nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which contribute to the health and wellbeing of the cattle.
for insects (breeding)
ooo
Wheat yeast concentrate offers various benefits as a nutrition source for insects.
First of all, this co-product features a high protein content, making it valuable for insects that need protein for the development and maintenance of their tissues. In addition, wheat yeast concentrate is highly digestible. This means the insects can easily digest and absorb it, allowing them to utilise its nutrients more efficiently to grow.
Storage and shelf life of Wheat yeast concentrate
The wheat yeast concentrate is delivered in batches of 28-35 tonnes using a tanker and should be stored in an acid-proof silo or bunker.
It has an average shelf life of three months. However, the silo used for storage should be cleaned regularly to safeguard the quality of this co-product. Consistency and stability are crucial when it comes to rationing and feeding this product. As such, regular stirring is necessary to avoid sagging and segregation.
