The high starch property is suitable for the energy requirements of aquaculture and has significant substitution value

The starch content of cassava tubers is highly advantageous. After drying treatment, the starch content of the dry sample can be increased to 73%-83%. As a core carbohydrate, its energy supply capacity is superior to that of corn and beans, and it can provide more energy under the same weight. In the livestock industry, it can be directly processed into cassava flour and cassava pellets to replace part of corn and soybean meal, meeting the high-energy demands of pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock and poultry during the rapid fattening period. In the pet industry, detoxified cassava starch can provide continuous energy for daily activities of pets such as dogs and cats, avoiding significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels. It is especially suitable for pets that need to control their grain intake.

The excellent starch properties enhance the feed processing and consumption experience

The physical and chemical properties of cassava starch perfectly meet the production requirements of livestock and pet feed. The gelatinization temperature is lower than that of corn starch, which can reduce the energy consumption of equipment during processing. In the feed pelletizing process, the high viscosity property can enhance the hardness of the pellets and reduce the powdering rate during transportation and storage. Strong permeability enables the components of cassava to blend evenly with raw materials such as protein and vitamins, ensuring a balanced nutrition for each feed. For pets, cassava starch can also improve the taste of food, increase palatability, and its easily digestible feature can reduce the burden on the pet's intestines and enhance the efficiency of nutrient absorption.

The stability of costs and supply chains reduces the economic pressure on the breeding end

Cassava has a wide range of raw material sources and a stable supply chain. The main production areas have sufficient output, and the price fluctuation range is much smaller than that of traditional feed raw materials such as corn and soybean meal. It can help livestock breeding enterprises and pet food manufacturers stabilize production costs. In the livestock industry, cassava processed products are used to replace some high-priced feed raw materials. In the pet industry, cassava, as a basic raw material for grain-free feed, not only meets the market demand for grain-free pet food but also avoids product premiums caused by the increase in the price of grain raw materials.
