Abstract: The invention relates to a fermented feed ingredient derived from spent brewer's yeast and a biomass of proteinaceous plant parts, where said biomass comprises 50% by weight or more of dehulled and defatted soybean meal, wherein the crude protein content of said feed ingredient is in the range of from 35% to 65% by weight on dry matter basis, and wherein from 2% to 8% by weight on dry matter basis of the protein is derived from yeast, and wherein the feed ingredient comprises at least 10% more of soluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) than the biomass from where the feed ingredient is derived. The invention also provide a method for preparing the feed ingredient and its use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a solid transformation product of a substrate comprising the following steps: ?preparing a substrate of biomass comprising carbohydrates and proteinaceous matter that originates from soya bean, rape seed, or mixtures thereof, optionally in further mixture with carbohydrates and proteinaceous matter originating from fava beans, peas, sunflower seeds, lupine, cereals, and/or grasses, ?mixing said substrate with an enzyme preparation or a combination of enzyme preparations and adding water in an amount which provides an initial incubation mixture having a water content from 30 to 70% by weight, and a ratio of wet bulk density to dry bulk density from 0.60 to 1.45 in the resulting mixture; ?incubating said initial incubation mixture for 0.15-72 hours at a temperature of 20-70° C.
