Cats and dogs evaluate food differently, and those differences matter when developing palatability strategies. In AFB International’s newest white paper, our Science & Technology team examines how dry and liquid palatants influence feline preference in dry cat food. The paper explores the roles of taste, aroma, texture and moisture, along...
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.
