People with companion animals often don’t think of them merely as pets, but as part of the family. That’s why their animal’s overall health and a long life are goals they value highly. ADM offers a number of ingredients for the companion animal food manufacturer to help dogs and cats live healthy lives. From lecithin to natural-source vitamin E, we have what you need to help you give consumers what they want.
ADM’s ingredients can help you create niche products and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. We offer everything from antioxidants that prevent rancidity in fats, oils and finished products, to lecithins and sterols, along with a variety of ingredients used in the growing pet treat market. And for those concerned about meat-based disease issues, it’s good to know ADM ingredients use only natural-source, plant-based materials.
ADM shares the concerns that matter to you: product uniqueness, palatability, flavor, appearance and packaging. We can help you use our ingredients to formulate pet foods that meet all these requirements, economically, efficiently and in line with industry regulations. We study functionality, including gel strength in canned food formulations. We’re experts in the extrusion benefits of lecithins as well as the nutrition and health benefits of compounds such as soy isolates.
We also monitor consumer trends in the companion animal segment, so we can help you develop new products and modify current ones to meet changing demand. With our assistance, it may be possible to produce higher-value functional pet foods that track human health concerns, including obesity, old age and various illnesses. Our long-time relationships with human food manufacturers also provide synergies that help you in this sector.
ADM nutritionists will work with you to generate ideas and develop new products for your pet food lines. We are well-versed in animal nutrition, and can help address labeling and AAFCO standards as your product formulations change. ADM’s worldwide network includes one of the most vertically integrated shipping and processing infrastructures anywhere, so we are able to respond quickly to your needs. The result is top-quality ingredients, delivered where and when you want them.
