Pet Feed Extrusion: Let Your Pet Enjoy A Healthier And More
Dec 04, 2023
The principle of pet feed extrusion
Pet feed extrusion is a high-temperature, high-pressure food processing technology that gelatinizes starch and denatures protein in raw materials through the process of heating, pressure and expansion. It also destroys harmful microorganisms and parasites and improves the hygienic quality of feed. After puffing treatment, the nutrients in the feed are easier to digest and absorb by pets, and at the same time, the palatability of the feed can be improved, making the pet like it more.
Advantages of pet feed extrusion
Improve palatability: The puffed feed tastes crisper and has a stronger aroma, which can improve the appetite and palatability of pets.
Easy to digest and absorb: The nutrients in the puffed feed are easier to digest and absorb by pets, which can improve the immunity of pets. High hygienic quality: The puffing process can kill harmful microorganisms and parasites in the raw materials, improve the hygienic quality of the feed, and reduce the risk of pet illness.
Good stability: The expanded feed has good stability and shelf life, which can ensure the quality and taste of the feed.
How to choose suitable expansion feed?
Pay attention to nutritional ingredients: When choosing extruded feed, pay attention to whether the ratio of nutritional ingredients is reasonable and whether it can meet the daily needs of pets. It is recommended to choose extruded feed containing high-quality protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
Understand pet preferences: Pets of different breeds, ages and sizes have different food preferences. You must understand your pet's preferences and choose suitable extruded feed. For example, some pets may prefer puffed food with a crunchy texture, while others prefer a softer texture.
Pay attention to brand reputation: When choosing extruded feed, pay attention to brand reputation and quality assurance. Pay attention to the feeding amount: The feeding amount should be reasonably controlled based on the pet's age, weight, activity level and other factors to avoid excessive feeding that may lead to pet obesity or other health problems.
