Aurantiochytrium - Feed Ingredient

Aurantiochytrium sp. is a marine microalgae-like organism naturally found in coastal and ocean environments and is recognized for its ability to produce high concentrations of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is cultivated under controlled conditions to provide a sustainable, plant-based source of omega-3s without reliance on fish oil.

In equine nutrition, Aurantiochytrium sp. is included as a bioavailable source of DHA to support normal inflammatory responses. In horses, DHA is commonly associated with support for joint health, immune function, skin and coat quality, and normal neurological function.
