AFB's considerable strength in research has contributed greatly to the company’s success and keeps us in a position of leadership in the highly competitive world of pet food palatability. Our international staff of flavor chemists, biochemists, food technologists, process engineers and animal scientists is second to none.

 

Our research team searches constantly for new ways to increase palatability and intake. Our scientists analyze ingredients and their chemical makeup, evaluating basic components in terms of how they improve palatability and function synergistically with the kibble. The team searches for chemical interactions that can make a positive impact on pet food performance. With a strong focus on animal physiology, AFB's research team studies the effects of palatants on the dietary preferences of dogs and cats, exploring the factors that make them appealing to companion animals.
