Palatability in animal nutrition is a type of food attractant that we usually refer to, mainly used to increase the palatability of pets, and is a type of raw material used by most pet food companies (including imported pet food), mainly including paste (or water) and powder, “pet feed labelling regulations” is this description, the use of “feed ingredients directory” in the product If a flavouring product is made from a combination of animal hydrolysate as the main ingredient in the Catalogue of Feed Ingredients, it should be labelled as “Pet Feed Flavouring Compound” or “Flavour Enhancer” in the ingredients component.
The main process is the enzymatic decomposition of animal meat or offal into simple small molecules at a certain temperature and in an environment of water.The main ingredients in the formulation of a pet feed flavouring compound from one company include: frozen chicken liver, pure water, papain, cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. It is under the action of protease that chicken liver is broken down into various amino acids and small molecule peptides.
Basically all pet food companies add feed compound seasoning, only some of them are not honest enough to write in the ingredient list as they actually do, or write other substances in the ingredient list, such as enzymatic chicken liver, hydrolysed chicken powder, etc. And imported pet food including *Kenna, *Want, go and so on, have added, just after importing the domestic so-called “optimized” ingredients list, consumers can go to their foreign websites, see all are there.
The above is a comparison of the ingredient list of one of go’s dog food products between domestic and foreign websites, in China it should be “optimised” ingredients written as Hydrolysed Fish Protein Powder, foreign websites write Natural Chicken Flavor.
In fact, the addition of pet food flavourings in a sensible way will not have a negative impact on your pet, but will boost your pet’s appetite and provide them with adequate nutrition. Just as we would add the right amount of soy sauce to a stir fry.
