Guar meal is a protein-rich by-product obtained during the extraction of guar gum from guar seeds.
| Moisture | 3 – 5% |
| Crude Protein | 28 – 42% |
| Oil | 4 – 6% |
| Fiber | 11 – 14% |
| Ash | 4 – 5% |
| Oil + Albuminoid | 45% minimum |
Guar meal is widely used in cattle, poultry, fish, and pet food due to its high protein, fiber, and essential amino acids. It comes in two forms:
Guar Meal Churi (Fine powder with ~40-50% protein)
Guar Meal Korma (Coarse meal with ~50-60% protein)
End Products & Uses:
Cattle Feed (Dairy & Beef Cattle): Enhances milk production and muscle growth.
Poultry Feed (Chickens, Layers, Broilers, Turkeys): Boosts egg production and weight gain.
Fish & Shrimp Feed (Aquaculture): Used as an alternative to fish meal and soybean meal.
Pet Food (Dogs, Cats, Rabbits): Improves digestibility and protein intake.
End Product Examples:
Guar meal is used as a natural nitrogen-rich fertilizer due to its organic matter and slow- release nutrients.
