Increasing Pet Food Nutrition Value with Hydrolysed Proteins

Considered a functional ingredient, Chicken Protein Hydrolysate can add important benefits to the nutrition of pets. In addition to being highly palatable and to stimulate animal feeding, the enzymatic hydrolysis process improves animal health due to better absorption of nutrients with functional properties.

However, in order to ensure that all benefits are actually introduced actively into the feed, it’s necessary to consider some fundamental characteristics when choosing the supplier.

Proven results: Chicken Protein Hydrolysate (CPH)

Chicken Protein Hydrolysate is a high-performance functional ingredient for animal nutrition. Therefore, it is used in the formulation of feed and pet food in order to improve the health and well-being of dogs and cats.

CPH is produced through the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins present in chicken guts, chicken giblets and chicken meat. As a result, smaller chains of amino acids and bioactive peptides are formed.

Greater digestibility and palatability

Enzymatic hydrolysis enables the production of ingredients with a minimum digestibility of 90%, which is excellent for guaranteeing the nutritional potential of pet food.

Another factor of great relevance in the quality of the feed is palatability. When it is low, it can affect the frequency of animal feeding, interfering with the pet's nutrition and health. An ingredient with naturally differentiated palatability and which has the support of 15% free amino acids and bioactive peptides is the Chicken Protein Hydrolysate.

Composition rich in amino acids and high protein content

The choice of a quality raw material can guarantee the ideal levels of amino acids and proteins in the formulation of the feed. In addition to the naturally balanced amino acid composition of the raw material, enzymatic hydrolysis ensures that they are more available to pets.
