Data-driven innovation uses data to create new products, services, or solutions that satisfy customers. For the pet food industry, data-driven innovation is crucial for improving the palatability and product consistency of pet food products. Product consistency is delivering the same flavor in every batch of pet food, keeping pets happy,...
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.
