Vital Wheat GlutenFull Description

Vital Wheat Gluten is a high-grade vegetable protein widely utilized in aquaculture feed formulations. It serves as both a primary protein source and an excellent binding agent, ensuring that feed pellets remain intact in the water, reducing waste and maintaining water quality.

At VARS Aquaculture, our wheat gluten is sourced from premium European and Canadian producers and processed to ensure high protein concentration and superior functional performance in extruded aquafeed.
