Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a natural mineral primarily used in animal feed as a binding or absorbent agent. While it is not a direct source of nutrition, it helps maintain food freshness and control moisture, contributing to a healthier environment for animals. Vermiculite also plays a role in animal care and nutrition by serving as a bedding material in enclosures, particularly for reptiles, birds, and small mammals. Its absorbent properties help regulate humidity and control odors, creating a cleaner and more comfortable living space for animals.
