Ingredients for fish feed
Wheat starches are applied in fish feed as ingredients with highly effective binding properties. Native starches can support aquafeed pelletability and are an affordable ingredient in fish feed production.
Native wheat starches Allstarch WN1 and Allstarch 1550 can be used in fish feed formulations as a binding agent and a source of carbohydrates.
Here are the properties of Allstarch WN1 and Allstarch 1550 in fish feed:
- source of carbohydrates
- effective binder
- allowing to granulate the fish feeds
- suitable for extrusion
- improving the stability of flakes, granules and pellets
- reducing dust formation
- economic component of fish feed formulas
Allstarch CWS (cold water swelling) wheat starches are used in fish feed production as granulating agents and the source of inexpensive energy. They improve the granulation process and extend the life of equipment’s working surfaces due to lubricating properties. These starches can increase granule dissolution time, which is important for fish feed.
Here are the main advantages of applying CWS wheat starches in fish feed production:
- source of carbohydrates
- allows granulating the feeds
- suitable for extrusion and cold pressing process
- improves the granulation process
- reduces abrasive losses
- improves the stability of flakes, granules and pellets
- reduces dust formation
- increases the dissolution time of flakes, granules and pellets
- economic component of fish 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 products. Allstarch OT10 improves the granulation process and ensures the stability of flakes, granules and pellets. It also increases granule dissolution time, which is important for fish feed.
Here are the main characteristics of Allstarch OT10:
- allows to granulate fish feeds
- has the high binding ability
- improves the granulation process
- suits well for extrusion
- improves the stability of flakes, granules and pellets
- reduces dust formation
- increases the dissolution time of flakes, granules and pellets
Allstarch vital wheat gluten is a natural protein derived from wheat. It has high biological value and characteristic distribution of amino acids. Thereby wheat gluten is a well-balanced feed material, suitable for fish feed. It is highly digestible by different fish species. Wheat gluten is an economic component with good storage stability.
Here are the properties of Allstarch vital wheat gluten in fish feed:
- crude protein content of 80%
- well-balanced amino acid source
- highly digestible by fish
- can act as a pellet binder
- GMO-free
- available all year round
- storage stable
- cost-efficient component of fish feed formulas
