FOOD IN THE SERVICE OF ANIMAL WELFARE AND GROWTH

We create food from grains, not only for humans but also for animals. We also do so with rice and peas. We use healthy natural products, which contribute substantially to the responsible growth and health of animals in various stages of their development.

We process these products into high-quality ingredients with a specific functionality. Our customers use them to create food for different market segments: cow and calf milk, compound feed and horse feed.

Limagrain Ingredients provides safe, reliable ingredients with the correct price/quality ratio to customers within and outside Europe.

The past decade has seen a strong growth in the popularity of snacks for dogs and other pets, with a large variety of new offerings. Food engineers are searching for natural binding agents with high functionality for making a tough but chewable product. Moisture and softeners like glycerine are bound in the formulation using PetFlour Wheat/Rice/Corn. Precooking gives these types of flour high instant binding properties. Aside from this functionality, the PetFlour products are easily digested by the animals.

We have been producing for the international market – including yours – for decades. As a result, you enjoy the advantage of competitive pricing and of our many years of product and market knowledge. Our quality pays off.

The special PetFlour ingredients are produced at Limagrain Ingredients and are composed of a dried, heat treated flour. Drying the flour ensures enzyme inactivation and sanitation. In addition, the adaptable drying process makes it possible for the humidity in the flour to be regulated. When extruding the flour the carbohydrate granules are drawn out of their original structure. This ensures that the carbohydrate can swell in cold water and that the flour can also disperse in cold water.

Nutritionists compose animal food based on feed value (energy and protein) and the functionality (solubility, press and binder properties) of the individual components. The composition of the product has a major impact on health and growth. For a good acceptance of the pet, the end product should also be visually attractive and certainly taste good. The owner of the animal also wishes a good-looking product experience.

Limagrain Ingredients has the products, knowledge and expertise in place to deliver high-quality ingredients for pet food in consultation with the nutritionists of our customers, which are also very well suited to the desired product experience. Think about our PetFlour and Presco puffed grains for attractive, tasteful and easily digestible dinners, muesli and treats.
