Description

Enterococcus faecium is a specific strain of probiotic bacteria widely utilized for its beneficial properties in human and animal health. This product is valued for its stability and viability, making it a critical component in formulations designed to support digestive and immune system function. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the animal feed, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical industries for the production of probiotics and functional ingredients.

Application

• Direct-Fed Microbials (DFMs) for Animal Nutrition: Incorporated into poultry, swine, and ruminant feed to improve gut health, enhance feed efficiency, and support growth performance.
• Probiotic Dietary Supplements: Used as an active ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders for human consumption to promote a healthy gut microbiome.
• Starter Cultures for Fermentation: Applied in specific food and beverage fermentation processes to influence flavor and preservation.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Products: Formulated into pastes, gels, or boluses for therapeutic use in companion and production animals.
• Aquaculture Feed Additives: Added to fish and shrimp feed to enhance disease resistance and improve overall aquatic animal health.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard or active component in microbiological and biochemical research studies.

Quality Control

Our Enterococcus faecium is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure product identity, purity, and potency. Each batch is tested to confirm strain authenticity, viable cell count, and the absence of specified contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, microbial limits, and activity are available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant feed additive and dietary supplement guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maintain long-term viability and stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption.
