Abstract
The present disclosure relate to feed ingredients and formulated feed, methods for their manufacture, and uses thereof in nutritional applications such as in aquaculture, terrestrial animal feed, and human nutrition. The feed ingredient compositions comprise lysed microbial cells with a small aspect ratio and triglyceride oil.
Claims26
A feed ingredient composition comprising a dispersion of lysed microalgal cells in triglyceride oil, wherein:
- a. 5-90% by weight of the feed ingredient composition is lysed microalgal cells, and
- b. 10-95% by weight of the feed ingredient composition is triglyceride oil, wherein the triglyceride oil comprises oil from the lysed cells and oil from another organism.

A method of increasing the body weight of an animal, the method comprising feeding the animal with feed, wherein the feed is coated with a dispersion of lysed microalgal cells in triglyceride oil, wherein said lysed microalgal cells have an aspect ratio of less than 1:1, and wherein the animal gains greater mass than an animal that is fed feed comprising unlysed microalgal biomass.
-109. (canceled)
A formulated feed comprising edible food and a feed ingredient composition, the feed ingredient composition comprising a dispersion of lysed microalgal cells in triglyceride oil, wherein:
- a. 5-90% by weight of the feed ingredient composition is lysed microalgal cells, and
- b. 10-95% by weight of the feed ingredient composition is triglyceride oil,
- wherein the triglyceride oil comprises oil from the lysed cells and oil from another organism.
