Palatant Perfection Components
No matter how well formulated and produced a pet food is, and no matter how much nutrition and quality are built in, it’s of limited value if pets won’t eat it. With our BioFlavor®, Optimizor®, and Enticer® families of palatability enhancers, AFB makes pet food more appealing to companion animals and their owners.
AFB’s wide range of flavors for dry and wet pet foods, treats, snacks, and supplements significantly improves acceptance rates by companion animals. From kibble to patés, biscuits to chunks, AFB’s palatability solutions will improve your products. AFB palatants are available as dry powders, liquids, and as systems that use both dry and liquid components. Many of our palatants are designed to be applied topically, while others function best when used internally in the kibble or can. AFB palatants can be meat or vegetable based, and can be designed to meet a variety of claims (grain-free, limited ingredient, non-GMO, natural, low fat, etc.). Palatant price points are typically commensurate with performance.
