Bulk Oat Extract Powder Manufacturer in China, Whole oats naturally contain about 4% to 10% beta-glucan, while Zenpet powders are concentrated via water or enzymatic extraction to range between 30% and 70% purity.
Oat Beta-Glucan Powder is a premium functional fiber ingredient extracted from oat bran. It provides a concentrated source of soluble beta-glucan designed for modern pet nutrition formulations.
When incorporated into pet food formulas, oat beta-glucan can help support:
Unlike insoluble fibers, oat beta-glucan forms a gel-like structure when hydrated, helping regulate intestinal viscosity and supporting nutrient absorption.

Zenpet Oat Beta-Glucan Powder is available in customized specifications including 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 80% beta-glucan content for different pet nutrition applications.
Oat beta-glucan production commonly involves oat milling, bran separation, water extraction, enzymatic processing, concentration, and drying to obtain a fiber-rich powder.
Oat beta-glucan powder a soluble dietary fiber extracted from oat grain. It can be incorporated into pet nutrition formulas to support gut microbiota balance, intestinal function, immune response, and metabolic wellness. Research in dogs demonstrated that oat beta-glucan supplementation at 10 g/kg of food (1%) may help reduce total cholesterol, LDL-C, and VLDL-C levels.
