Plasma provides superior functionality for wet and dry applications
- Improves water holding, gelling and emulsification
- Provides energy savings in the extruder
- Improves palatability
- Supports a healthy immune response
Protein Shortage
With the lack of available proteins, plasma can help when blended with more available, less functional co-products to provide the properties and characteristics of the original protein or replace less desirable ingredients.
Pet owners have become savvy in identifying ingredients that are beneficial for their pets. You need ingredients that are both functional and label friendly. Plasma offers both.
Wet
In wet, moist and semi-moist applications, plasma can be used for traditional functional benefits by providing superior gelling, emulsification and water holding capacity. It makes firmer chunks with fewer crumbs, better texture and a gravy pets love.
Dry
In dry applications, plasma offers the opportunity for a different kind of functionality – supporting immune health. More than 600 published journal articles show the power of plasma and the positive impact it has on the overall well-being of animals. Plasma can be added as a powerful and unique option in today’s specialty diets.
