In recent years, cassava starch has been increasingly applied in the livestock industry thanks to its affordable cost, stable supply, and high nutritional value. Not only is it a raw material for human food processing, but cassava starch is also an important component that helps improve feed rations, increase productivity, and enhance the quality of livestock.
Cassava starch is extracted from cassava roots (also known as manioc or yuca) through grinding, filtering, and drying processes. It is a rich source of energy, easy to digest, and suitable for many types of livestock such as pigs, poultry, dairy cows, and aquaculture species.
Main components of cassava starch:
- Carbohydrates: over 80%
- Protein: about 1–2%
- Fiber: less than 1%
- Minerals and B vitamins

2.1. Providing rapid energy for livestock:
With its high carbohydrate content, cassava starch provides instant energy, supporting weight gain and muscle development in animals.
2.2. Reducing feed costs:
Compared to other starch sources such as corn or wheat, cassava starch is cheaper, helping farmers save on feed costs while maintaining farming efficiency.
2.3. Improving digestibility:
Cassava starch has small, soft granules that are easy to digest, making it suitable even for young animals or those with weak digestive systems, thereby improving nutrient absorption.
2.4. Applications in compound feed and the feed industry:
Many animal feed manufacturers use cassava starch as a primary ingredient in producing pelleted feed, as it enhances binding quality, reduces dust, and improves palatability for livestock.
- Appropriate mixing ratio: Depending on the type of livestock, cassava starch can make up 10% to 40% of the total feed ration.
- Combine with protein sources: Due to its low protein content, cassava starch should be supplemented with soybean meal, fish meal, or other protein-rich sources.
- Pre-processing before feeding: It can be cooked, fermented with probiotics, or mixed dry depending on the feed formula.
With the demand for cost reduction and nutritional optimization, cassava starch is gradually becoming a strategic raw material in livestock production. Modern processing technology ensures cassava starch is clean, safe, easy to store and transport, and meets large-scale animal feed production standards.
