MycoFence®
MycoFence® can support the immune system. Derived from mycelium, it is an eco-friendly and sustainable ingredient designed for use in feed formulations. Thanks to the unique β-glucan structure naturally present in mycelium, MycoFence® offers a distinct functional profile compared to yeast-derived beta-glucans. The product is supplied as a pure, free-flowing powder, ensuring easy handling and homogeneous incorporation into feed.
Why MycoFence®?
- Can support the immune system
- Eco-friendly
- Sustainable
How is MycoFence® produced?
MycoFence® is derived from mycelium, pure and rich in high-quality beta – (1,3/1,6)-glucans (>60%). In an optimised and validated production process, all proteins from the mycelium are removed with a gentle extraction. What is left is a pure powder high in beta-glucan content, that we call Mycofence®.
MycoFence® benefits explained
Climate & Society
The urgency for innovative immune-enhancing products is underlined by the increasing challenges in aquaculture, such as overfishing and rising ocean temperatures, factors that contribute to increased risk of infections.
Through advanced challenge testing with shrimp and salmon, this product has been proved effective to stimulate the immune system.
Salmon & Shrimp challenge tests
Key Findings:
- Growth performance and feed conversion maintained
- Supported immune responsiveness
- Improved robustness under challenge conditions
Scientific publication - MycoFence® – Atlantic salmon
MycoFence® results in Atlantic salmon was recently featured in a peer-reviewed scientific paper on ScienceDirect.
Two awards for MycoFence®
MycoFence® has won two awards the “Corporate Blue Innovation Wave” and the “Public Award” at The Blue Innovation Awards hosted by Blauwe Cluster (Blue Cluster) vzw.
