In a preferred embodiment, Pythium insidiosum is cultivated, harvested and the oil is extracted, recovered, and used as an additive for infant formula. In an alternative embodiment, Mortierella alpina is cultivated, harvested and the oil is extracted, recovered, and used as an additive for infant formula.
