Animal nutrition

Meet consumer demands for clean label nutritional pet food and treats

Today’s pet owners are passionate about supporting the health and happiness of their four-legged friends. In fact, according to a recent study, consumers consider themselves as parents of pets, and they are feeding their pets high-quality foods with clean labels and environmentally conscious claims. They are increasingly looking for functional benefits such as digestive health, heart health and eye health.¹

With consumer demand becoming increasingly dynamic and the “humanization of pets” propelling innovation, you have a lot to consider — from clean label ingredients to health benefits and research behind nutrition to enhanced functionality, improved appearance and texture for your animal products. Plus, sustainability and sourcing considerations, and more.

Additionally, owners of cattle, swine, poultry and aquaculture farms are looking to ensure livestock health, minimizing distress and maintaining or increasing animal production. Work with us to formulate next-generation animal feed to satisfy ever-more discerning livestock owners with an eye on the bottom line — and the growth and health of the animal.
