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...
Kibble Shape and its Effect on Feline Palatability
Creating a product that satisfies a cat’s preference can be challenging. Drivers such as aroma, taste and temperature are important in determining if a cat will prefer a particular food. A cat’s teeth are made for shearing and tearing, thus making kibble texture and size another factor in determining which food cats find palatable.
Researchers at AFB International wanted to determine if kibble shape also affected the palatability of dry cat foods. For our results, download our “KIBBLE SHAPE AND ITS EFFECT ON FELINE PALATABILITY” Whitepaper.
