Production methods
-
01
Washing from Wheat Flour (Martin Process)
Dough made from wheat flour is washed with water; soluble starch and other components are removed, leaving behind a sticky, elastic gluten mass.
-
02
Drying
The washed wet gluten is dried at a controlled temperature (flash-drying) that preserves its protein structure, yielding a powder.
-
03
Milling and Standardization
The dried gluten is milled and sieved, then standardized to the target protein and moisture content.
03
Function & properties
-
High protein content
According to the product’s own analysis, protein content ranges from 80-82%; a rich source for animal growth and muscle development.
-
Low moisture
Moisture is kept in the 8-10% range, supporting shelf life and storability.
-
Low ash content
Total ash content is a low 0.3-0.4%, an indicator of purity.
-
Elastic, cohesive structure
Forms a viscoelastic mass when mixed with water — the core gluten characteristic also sought in flour products.
-
Microbiological safety
The product’s own analysis reports E. coli negative and mold counts below standard limits.
-
Water absorption
Water absorption is in the 1.5-1.7 range, supporting texture and binding in feed blends.
04
Applications
- Cattle feed
- Poultry feed
- Pig feed
- Fish feed
- Protein supplement in feed blends
Full technical description
What is Wheat Gluten ?
Wheat gluten is a compound commonly used in the animal feed industry. Wheat gluten, which is the protein-containing part of wheat, is an important protein source in the feeding of industrial farm animals such as cattle, chickens, and pigs.
Animal feed producers mix this additive with other feed ingredients to obtain a high-nutrient feed blend. This product is rich in high-quality protein, which helps support the growth and healthy weight gain of animals.

Usage
Animal feed production is a widespread sector worldwide. Various nutrient additives are used in this sector to ensure the healthy growth and development of animals. One of the most important among these nutrient additives is wheat gluten.
Wheat gluten contributes to the muscle and bone development of animals thanks to its high protein content. It is used in the feed of many animals, especially poultry, cattle, pigs, and fish. The use of this substance is widespread worldwide, and the use of it in animal feed production is frequently seen in countries such as the United States, the European Union, China, India, and Brazil.
However, the quality and reliability of wheat gluten sources are important. Therefore, animal feed producers tend to focus on quality and reliable sources in the supply of wheat gluten. Our company is specialized in animal feed additives such as wheat gluten and provides its customers with the highest quality products.
In addition, other nutrient additives are also used in animal feed production, not just this product. For example, other nutrient additives such as corn gluten, soy flour, poultry feather meal, fish meal, and fish oil are frequently used. These nutrient additives are beneficial in many ways, such as the growth, development, and strengthening of the immune systems of animals.
Animal feed production is also important for people to eat healthy. Because if animals are not fed properly, people cannot eat their meat, milk, or eggs and eat healthily. Therefore, nutrient additives used in animal feed production are also important for human health.
In conclusion, wheat gluten is one of the most important nutrient additives used in animal feed production. However, it must be procured from quality and reliable sources. Our company is specialized in animal feed additives such as wheat gluten and provides its customers with the highest quality products.
