24/01/2017: Abstract presentation Dr Holger Kühlwein – Aquatic Asia conference 2017

“From beer to fish: functional brewer’s yeast products in aquafeeds”

by Dr Holger Kühlwein, Leiber GmbH


Beer brewing has a centuries-long tradition, and especially the famous Reinheitsgebot, sometimes called the “German Purity Law”, of beer brewing from the year 1516 has enormously contributed to the great acceptance of beer as a high-quality, food-grade product.

Consequently, processing the brewer’s yeast to a refined quality after the brewing process results in a premium, standardised, quality consistent, guaranteed non-GMO raw material free from other contaminants or additives (e.g. additional flavor components, enzymes or even antibiotics and heavy metals).

The yeast used during beer brewing is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Depending on the further processing a range of various brewer’s yeast products can be produced featuring different functionalities in humans and animals including aquatic organisms (e.g. prebiotic yeast cell walls improving gut health, and highly purified ß-glucans boosting immune competence).

In intensive aquaculture fish and shellfish are often subjected to a plethora of various stressors in their living environment (pathogens, handling/transport, environmental changes, etc.).

In consequence, these stressors may have negative effects on growth performance and health status of the animal, and ultimately the economic success of aquaculture husbandry.

Hence, functional feeds are increasingly applied in order to prophylactically strengthen the animal’s resistance against external adversities.

The presentation will introduce the functional differences in various brewer’s yeast products, and then illustrate these functionalities in aquatic species by means of exemplary scientific research data.

Aller Aqua Ghana Limited is strategically situated by the Volta River where many fish farmers have their farms. This, paired with positive statements from current customers, gets the company off to a positive start.

“The opening day was a result of months of hard work, and we are glad to be able to start offering fish feed to the Ghanaian aquaculture sector from our local company, Aller Aqua Ghana Limited. Aller Aqua essentially help the farmers grow their businesses by providing high quality fish feed which leads to faster growth, healthier fish and thus a better end product. This is our aim in all the countries we are represented in, and was a key parameter in our decision in starting Aller Aqua Ghana Limited. ” Explains Niels Lundgaard, Commercial Director for Africa, Aller Aqua Group.

Aller Aqua would like to thank this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making the inauguration a great success and hope to see all of you again soon.
