Animal Feed
Pellet binding and digestibility for feed mills
Pregelatinized tapioca starch binds pellets so they survive handling and transport, and because the starch is already cooked it is more readily digested by young animals and by fish and shrimp.
The challenge
What animal feed manufacturers ask us to solve
Fines during handling and transport
Broken pellets mean wasted feed and complaints from the farm.
Water stability in aquafeed
Pellets that disintegrate before ingestion pollute the pond and lose nutrition.
Digestibility in young stock
Raw starch is poorly used by animals with immature digestive systems.
Our solution
How PREGEL WORLD responds
Dosage and grade are set against your pellet durability index target and conditioning temperature, with pregelatinized material selected where cold binding or high digestibility is needed.
Higher pellet durability index, fewer fines
Improved water stability in aquafeed
Better starch digestibility in young animals
Consistent, traceable plant-derived binder
