Let’s answer the question “Is tapioca good for cows?”

Tapioca is a food source of high nutritional value. There are many ways to use this food source, in which, tapioca starch processing is a production process that uses a large amount of tapioca sources and creates high economic and social value. In this process, 1 by-product is formed after separating the starch, the rest of the tapioca tubers are called tapioca residues. Tapioca residue is white or light yellow, porous and contains a lot of fiber, starch, depending on the intended use.

Tapioca residues are used as animal feed ingredients very popular because this product brings many nutritional values at a low price: high starch and fiber content, but limited protein.

What nutritional values does tapioc residue  have in terms of livestock?

Tapioca residues can be a good source of energy for cows, with the following properties:

• High starch content: Tapioca residues are high in starch, which can be good for milk production. However, too much starch can lead to digestive disorders in cows. To avoid this, Tapioca residues need to be fed gradually and in controlled amounts. Choose tapioca residues with starch content suitable for each stage of cow development 1 flexible way (min 30%, 40%, 50%,…)
• Low protein: Tapioca residue is low in protein, so it is necessary to mix other sources of protein to create a balanced diet. This is especially important for cows at the end of the milk cycle when their protein needs are higher.
• Morphological problems: The way tapioca residue is prepared can affect how cows digest it. Tapioca residue pellets may be easier to digest than tapioca powder. In addition, being in the pellet state also saves storage space and transportation costs of this feed material.

In general, tapioca  residues can be a useful addition to cow feed, but it must be used properly rather than as the only food source

 

Why should tapioca residues be used in cow breeding?

Tapioca residues Powder or Tapioca  residue pellets are both valuable supplementary feed sources for cows, bringing many benefits to livestock. You can refer to a number of advantages of this product

1. Energy supply:

• Tapioca residues contain high starch content (about 30-60%), providing an abundant source of energy for cows to function during the day
• Help cows gain weight quickly, improve breeding efficiency significantly

2. Improves the digestive system:

• Tapioca residue  contains a lot of fiber, which stimulates the digestive system of cows to work more efficiently.
• Reduces the risk of intestinal diseases such as diarrhea, constipation.

3. Health enhancement :

• Tapioca residue  provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals necessary for cows, which promotes health and resistance.
• Reduce the risk of infectious diseases.

4. Reduce feed costs:

• Dried tapioca powder is a source of raw materials and by-products of aother industrial production process. Due to this, there is a cheap, easy-to-obtain price, which reduces the cost of feed for cows.
• Contribute to improving economic efficiency in animal husbandry.

5. Easy storage:

• Tapioca  residues, after being obtained from the production of tapioca starch, will be processed, dried and pureed, can be in pellet or powder form, reach safe moisture content and store for a long time
• Easy to transport and use.

In addition, dried tapioca residue  also has a number of other benefits such as:

• Reduce cow dung odor, protect the environment.
• Create a source of high quality organic fertilizer.
