The benefit of using tapioca in animal feed, pet food and aqua feed as the primary carbohydrate source instead of grains is tapioca’s biochemical simplicity.
Grains are complex in the sense that they contain proteins and other phytonutrients in addition to carbohydrates.
Tapioca is an ideal carbohydrate source for allergy sufferers because tapioca is virtually devoid of protein and will not cause immune-mediated reactions like those observed in animals feed grain-based diets .
