Microalgae are microscopic organisms that present unique opportunities as a functional ingredient in pet food applications.
The most important property of certain species of microalgae is their high content of essential long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, which has benefits for the health and well-being of humans as well as cats and dogs.
In particular, microalgae grown under controlled conditions through heterotrophic fermentation offer a fully traceable, sustainable, clean and high-quality source of DHA long-chain omega-3 fatty acid â with a higher concentration of these omega3s and lower levels of heavy metals and other contaminants compared to salmon oil or fish oil.
