Looking for nutritionally functional raw ingredients that provide overall health benefits beyond nutritional aspects? Here are some you should consider.

The growing demand for nutritionally optimal and palatable raw pet food ingredients is challenging to meet ethically, environmentally and economically. There are alternative, sustainable options but they require optimal cooperation along the value chain.

The future of the available pet food proteins depends on the usage of novel ingredients from sustainable and secured resources. Single cell proteins fit that bill, but there are challenges in scaling them up.

Manufacturing pet food consists of various processes and technologies needed to shape a polymerized network of nutrients into a solid matrix (pellets). These processes increase both the nutritional value and the physical properties related to mash handling, while improving bulk density and reducing dust content in the pet food.
