Key Features

1. Specialized Feed

• Beer Yeast for Health Maintenance:

Beer yeast is rich in essential nutrients like amino acids, B vitamins, and minerals. It helps maintain cattle health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the rumen.

• Natural Antioxidants for Freshness:

A combination of plant-based antioxidants (rich in polyphenols) from ingredients like rosemary, oregano, and chili peppers, along with Vitamin E (α-tocopherol), enhances the meat’s antioxidant properties. This prevents discoloration of proteins and oxidation of fats, ensuring the beef stays fresh and flavorful.

2. Use of Feed Rice

Feed rice, a high-quality feed derived from cultivated paddy fields, serves as an excellent energy source for livestock. While often used in its unpolished form, feed rice provides a similar nutritional value to corn, which is widely used in livestock feed, making it a valuable component of the diet.

Senba Beef and Senba Wagyu are raised with great attention to feed and care, ensuring both quality and flavor while maintaining freshness and nutritional value.
