Cassava starch, as a raw material for pet food, is both nutritious and practical. It is rich in polysaccharides and starch, and contains almost no heavy metals or harmful substances, making it healthy and safe. It is highly digestible and can provide high-quality energy for pets, and is compatible with various food forms such as dry food and wet food. Meanwhile, its hypoallergenic property can replace grains, reducing adverse reactions in pets with allergic constitutions. A small amount of resistant starch can also promote intestinal peristalsis and protect the intestinal health of pets.
In the processing of pet food, cassava starch plays multiple auxiliary roles. As an adhesive, it can help dry food take shape and maintain its shape stability. As a thickener, its stable viscosity can enhance the texture of products such as wet food and cat strips. As a filler, it can balance the composition of food and improve palatability. In addition, modified cassava starch can replace chemical additives such as Guar gum and Xanthan gum, achieving "clean labels" and aligning with the trend of health in pet food.
Cassava starch also has important applications in the fields of pet medicine and nutritional supplements. It can be used as a filler or binder for tablets and capsules, helping drugs form stable dosage forms and ensuring the uniform distribution of active ingredients. At the same time, its safety and digestibility can reduce the irritation of the medicine to the pet's stomach and intestines, and improve the safety and compliance of medication.
With its excellent elasticity and plasticity, cassava starch has become a high-quality raw material for pet toys. Toys made from it are durable in texture and less likely to break into pieces due to pets' gnawing, reducing the risk of accidental ingestion. Moreover, the raw materials themselves are safe and non-toxic. Even if pets lick them a little, there is no health risk. It combines both fun and safety.
The biodegradability, high hygroscopicity and caking property of cassava starch make it a core component of environmentally friendly pet cleaning products, with cassava cat litter being a typical representative. This type of cat litter can quickly absorb the moisture of a cat's urine and feces, form firm lumps that are not easy to disperse, and keep the cat's toilet dry and clean. Moreover, it contains no chemical additives. If cats accidentally ingest it, it will not cause gastrointestinal problems. After being discarded, it can naturally degrade and is environmentally friendly.
