Ingredients for domestic livestock nutrition
Native wheat starch is an essential ingredient in feed production for livestock nutrition. They are effective binders and help to improve the digestion of the product for specialty feeds.
Starch is incorporated into the diet of many animals, such as chicken, beef and dairy cattle, swine, as a primary source of energy and for boosting the production properties.
Wheat starches Allstarch WN1 and Allstarch 1550 are often used in feed production. They can be applied in liquid and granulated feed formulations as a carbohydrate source, thickener and binding agent. There are many advantages of using Allstarch ingredients in livestock nutrition:
- easily digestible as a source of carbohydrates
- thickening of liquid products
- binder properties that enable the granulation of feeds
- suitable for extrusion
- improving the stability of granules and pellets
- cost-efficient component of feed formulas
Modified wheat starch Allstarch OT10 has high strength of the gel with barrier-forming properties. It suits well as a binding agent with the high binding ability for extrusion of products. Allstarch OT10 improves the granulation process and ensures the stability of granules and pellets.
Here are the properties of Allstarch OT10:
- allowing to granulate feeds
- high binding ability
- improving granulation process
- suitable for extrusion
- improving the stability of granules and pellets
- reducing dust formation
Allstarch CWS (cold water swelling) wheat starches are used in liquid and dry feed production. These ingredients are used in the production of liquid calf milk replacers. They form the product’s “body” and act as viscosity regulators and the source of carbohydrates. In granulated feed production, CWS wheat starches improve the granulation process and extend the life of equipment’s working surfaces due to lubricating properties.
CWS wheat starches are an easily digestible carbohydrate source and have such properties:
- creating the body of liquid products in calf milk replacers
- controlling the viscosity of liquid products in calf milk replacers
- granulating the feeds
- suitable for extrusion and cold pressing
- improving granulation process
- reducing abrasive losses
- improving the stability of granules and pellets
- reducing dust formation
- cost-efficient component of feed formulas
Allstarch vital wheat gluten is a natural protein derived from wheat with a high biological value and a characteristic distribution of amino acids. Thereby wheat gluten is a well-balanced ingredient used in the production of feed for ruminants, pigs and poultry. When used for ruminants feeding, wheat gluten can help to prevent acidosis. It is fiber-rich and can stimulate digestion. It is also a cost-efficient component with good storage stability.
Here are the properties of Allstarch vital wheat gluten:
- crude protein content of 80%
- well-balanced protein source
- fiber-rich component
- stimulates digestion
- suitable for ruminants, pigs and poultry
- prevents acidosis in ruminants
- can act as a pellet binder
- GMO-free
- available all year round
- storage stable
- economic component of feed formulas
