Application

Utilizing the knowledge and technology provided by our research and development teams, AFB develops and tests new products that address flavor preferences in dogs and cats. With marketing's support, we follow trends and analyze marketplace data so that our products meet the needs of the end consumer. Through judicious use of our pilot and test facilities, we ensure that our final solutions work well in any processing setting. Our ultimate goal is simple: to produce a steady stream of new products and innovations for our customers. Proper milling and blending of raw materials is vital to maintaining uniform extruded product consistency. Careful attention to kibble shape, bulk density, texture and size is also critical to the finished product. At AFB, we have built an extensive knowledge base about extrusion technology, allowing us to be a resource to our customers for all aspects of the product. This holistic approach produces a superior finished product that also works better in manufacturing.
