Agriculture
Exfoliated vermiculite is free-flowing, soft, non-organic, and absorbent. In the agriculture industry, vermiculite’s absorbency allows for a high volume uptake of appropriate fluid, and therefore a greater yield, all while retaining good handling.
Vermiculite acts as a catalyst in animal feed, soaking up a range of essential nutrients, including:
- Feed-grade fats
- Vegetable oils
- Choline chloride
- Amino acids
- Saccharide
- Polyoxyethylene
- Formalin
- Vitamins
- Molasses
- And more
It also acts a slow release agent for the active ingredients carried, provides extra roughage, and mixes easily with other materials.
