Guar gum, another hydrocolloid, is commonly used in the animal health industry as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and binder. It is used in various animal feeds to improve the texture and binding properties of the feed pellets. Guar gum also helps in maintaining the hydration and moisture level of feed, preventing spoilage. In addition, it acts as a fiber source, promoting digestive health and aiding in the smooth passage of feed through the gastrointestinal tract of animals.
