Guar Meal

Guar Meal

Guar Meal is a by-product obtained during the processing of guar seeds for guar gum production. After the guar gum is extracted from the endosperm, the residual husk and germ are processed into a highly nutritious animal feed ingredient. It is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and amino acids, making it a valuable feed component for cattle, poultry, fish, and other livestock.

India is the largest producer and exporter of guar meal, followed by Pakistan, with demand spread across Asia, Europe, and the Americas due to its cost-effectiveness and high nutritional value compared to other plant-based protein sources.
