Guar Korma is a highly sought-after, protein content-rich animal feed product obtained as a by-product during the guar gum process. Being mostly made up of the germ fraction of the guar seed, it is well known for its remarkable nutritional content and is an integral part of developing high-grade feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.

Once guar gum is removed from the endosperm, the germ and hull are processed to form guar meal. Guar Korma is basically the germ part that is roasted and milled. Not only does this improve its digestibility, but it also eliminates anti-nutritional factors, rendering it safe and palatable for consumption by animals.

Nutritional Profile and Key Benefits

Guar Korma is renowned for its rich protein content ranging from 45% to above 55%. This makes it one of the most concentrated sources of vegetable protein that can be found, being frequently regarded as a better option than other protein feeds such as soybean meal.

Some of the main nutritional features are:

• High Content of Protein: Needed for muscle building, milk production, and overall growth in animals.
• High in Carbohydrates and Energy: Offers a substantial amount of metabolic energy to livestock.
• Rich in Amino Acids: Offers a balanced mix of essential amino acids required for animal well- being.
• High Digestibility: Toasting makes the protein more digestible, and nutrient absorption is at its best.
• Non-GMO: Guar is a crop that grows naturally in states such as Rajasthan, so Guar Korma is a Non-Genetically Modified product.

Applications in the Feed Industry

The wide versatility and nutritional value of Guar Korma render it a highly desirable ingredient for a broad spectrum of animal feeds:

• Cattle Feed: It is used very heavily in dairy cattle diets to enhance milk yields and improve the fat content of the milk. Its high protein value also enables the healthy growth of beef cattle.
• Poultry Feed: Guar Korma is a good source of protein in poultry feed, used both for broilers (for meat) and layers (for eggs), to ensure rapid growth and improved feed conversion rates.
• Swine Feed: It is an important protein constituent in pig feed, ensuring nutritious weight gain and muscle building.
