Pellet wheat gluten are used in aquaculture in several ways, and their main roles include being used as feed additives, improving feed adhesion, increasing nutritional value, and so on.
The following are the detailed roles and applications of pellet wheat gluten in aquaculture:
- Enhance feed adhesion
Role: Pellet wheat gluten have good adhesive properties and can be used as a binder in feed to help feed particles stick together better and reduce the risk of decomposition and dissolution in water.
Detailed description:
- Pellet feed production: In the process of feed production, adding the right amount of gluten pellets can significantly improve the strength and stability of feed pellets, avoiding breakage during transportation and storage.
- Stability in water: pellet wheat gluten can make the feed remain stable in water for a longer period of time, which is not easy to disperse and dissolve, ensuring that aquatic animals can fully ingest and reducing feed waste.
- Improve nutritional value
Function: Gluten particles are rich in high quality protein, which can provide necessary nutrition for aquatic animals and help their growth and health.
- Protein supplementation: Aquaculture animals (e.g. fish, shrimp, crab, etc.) need high protein feed to promote growth. Gluten granules contain up to 80% or more protein, which is a high quality protein source and can effectively increase the protein content of feed.
- Amino acid supply: gluten pellets contain a variety of essential amino acids, which can balance the amino acid composition of the feed, meet the nutritional requirements of aquatic animals, promote growth and development and improve yield.
- Improvement of feed palatability
Function: Pellet wheat gluten can improve the texture and taste of feed, and increase the feeding rate of aquatic animals on feed.
- Improvement of feed texture: After adding pellet wheat gluten, the feed particles will be more compact and moderate in texture, not too hard or too soft, which is conducive to the intake of aquatic animals.
- Improvement of intake: Due to the enhanced palatability of the feed, the intake of the feed by aquatic animals increases, thus improving the overall feed utilization efficiency and promoting healthy growth.
- Promote intestinal health
Effects: The fiber content in pellet wheat gluten can promote the intestinal health of aquatic animals, enhance immunity and disease resistance.
- Promote digestion and absorption: The fiber in pellet wheat gluten can promote intestinal peristalsis and help aquatic animals better digest and absorb the nutrients in the feed.
- Enhance immunity: Good intestinal health helps to improve the immunity of aquatic animals, reduce the incidence of diseases, and improve the survival rate and yield of aquaculture.
- Environmental protection and sustainability
Role: Using gluten granules as feed additives helps to reduce environmental pollution and promote the sustainable development of aquaculture.
Reduction of feed waste: As wheat gluten particles improve the stability and utilization efficiency of feed in water, it can reduce the waste of feed and the pollution of water bodies.
- Environmentally friendly material: gluten pellets are a natural, biodegradable material that does not produce harmful substances during use, which is conducive to environmental protection and ecological balance.
The application of pellet wheat gluten in aquaculture has multiple roles, which can significantly improve the adhesion and stability of feeds, provide high quality proteins and amino acids, improve the palatability of feeds, promote the intestinal health of aquatic animals, and at the same time have the advantages of environmental protection and sustainable development. These properties make gluten particles an important additive in aquaculture feeds, contributing to the efficient and sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.
