Unlocking the Power of Moisture in Dry Pet Food Manufacturing
The Key to Palatability, Quality, and Cost Efficiency
In the realm of dry pet food manufacturing, the term “moisture content” often conjures concerns about mold and product quality. However, its significance extends far beyond these parameters. Our comprehensive 3-part white paper series go through the pivotal role moisture plays in enhancing palatability, quality, and cost efficiency. By examining moisture from a holistic perspective, we aim to shed light on its underestimated impact on pet food production. Moisture management, frequently overlooked in favor of formulation adjustments, holds untapped potential for optimizing costs and improving product appeal.
Timothee Gally, Ph.D., Dry Technical Applications Manager at AFB, presented “Correlation between moisture of the kibble and palatability” in front of industry experts at Foro Mascotas. Gally emphasized how moisture and palatability of dry pet food plays a crucial role in cost efficiency. His insights and quantitative data, illustrating the potential for innovation and smarter decision-making in pet food manufacturing, is contained in these white papers.
By leveraging moisture effectively, manufacturers can achieve smarter decisions and drive innovation in the dry pet food industry, ensuring superior products while maintaining cost efficiency. Working with AFB and utilizing the insights from our white paper series can provide invaluable guidance in this endeavor.
