A method for producing an admixture for animal feed comprising:
- combining a fungal biomass with additional nutrition thereby producing an admixture, wherein the admixture is suitable for animal consumption and the animal feed does not contain whey, thereby producing an admixture for animal feed, wherein the fungal biomass comprises a fungus selected from the group consisting of:
- a fungus having a 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene sequence with at least 98% nucleotide sequence identity to the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- a fungus having an ITS1 sequence with at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- a fungus having an ITS2 sequence with at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- a fungus having a 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequence with at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 4, Penicillium menonorum and a species being the same as NRRL deposit Accession No:
- 50410, wherein the additional nutrition comprises at least one nutrient selected from the group consisting of soybean meal, wheat flour, feed peas, fishmeal, herring, wheat gluten, squid meal, hill, fish oil, lecithin, mono calcium phosphate, a mineral, a vitamin, cholesterol, and combinations thereof.
