Aqua Feed
The aquaculture sector is confronted with the specific problem of producing high-nutrient feeds that are stable under an aquatic environment. Disintegration loss of feed is not only a major financial loss but also leads to water pollution. Guar specifically solves these essential problems.
Major Functions and Advantages of Guar in Aqua Feed
Better Pellet Binding and Water Insolubility
- Factoid: At low inclusion levels (usually 0.2% to 1.0%), guar improves pellet integrity substantially. This discourages the pellets from breaking up rapidly in water, thus preventing the feed from being lost instead of being eaten.
- Benefit: This results in a significant improvement in the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and minimizes nutrient leaching, maintaining wate r quality within aquaculture systems.
Improved Pellet Strength
- Factoid: Feeds containing guar gum have reduced dust and fines during manufacture, transport, and feeding. The gum creates a gel matrix that binds feed particles together, creating a stronger pellet.
- Benefit: Lower fines translate into less wasted feed and a better delivery of the entire nutritional profile to the fish or shrimp.
Better Digestibility and Gut Health
- Factoid: As a soluble dietary fiber, guar functions as a prebiotic. It stimulates the growth of desirable gut microflora, which facilitates digestion and nutrient uptake.
- Benefit: This results in enhanced growth rates, enhanced general health, and a more enhanced immune system in aquatic animals, minimizing the use of therapeutic substances.
Optimized Extrusion Process
- Factoid: In extruded diets (typical for salmon and trout), guar manages moisture and swelling, resulting in enhanced pellet diameter uniformity and density.
- Benefit: This gives manufacturers more control over final product features, e.g., sinking or floating behavior, adjusted to the dietary needs of targeted species.
Why Extracted Guar Korma Seed is More Useful than Non-GMO Soybean Meal?
Extracted Guar Korma seed is more useful than non-GMO soybean meal because it offers higher protein content, better digestibility, lower fiber, and more energy per unit. It is also free from aflatoxins and anti-nutritional factors like trypsin inhibitors, making it a safer and more efficient feed option with a balanced amino acid profile suitable for aquaculture, poultry, swine, and ruminants.
