FORMULATION
No one likes to have to deal with sloppy
stools, so helping pets have a solid stool
is very appealing to most people
from a sanitation perspective. "
Renee Streeter, DVM, BSM Partners
Wizen said all ingredients in their
products, from proteins to carrots,
carob, parsley and ginger root, work
synergistically to provide a stronger
gastrointestinal environment.
Providing pets with immune
health benefits is also a top consideration
for Cooper & Friends.

trains the immune system to recognize
the potential invaders with the
lining of the intestinal
tract acting
as a physical barrier, so the combination
between the digestive system
and the immune system is crucial, "
Wizen said.

matters as well, considering a carbohydrate
will be less digestible if
it isn't cooked thoroughly, Streeter
said. This means a " gentle cook " or
shorter cooking time with less water
might not be as easy to digest as
those made from a different process
or those that incorporate a precooked
carbohydrate.

Miura's
modular installation automatically adjusts (load-following technology)
to match your steam demand. When you only require 25% or 50% output (as
illustrated), the system only brings on the units needed to carry that load. That's a
tremendous cost and resource-saving advantage in the long run. Better yet, when
your facility does not require steam, the boilers automatically go into stand-by
mode reducing runtime and conserving resources and emissions output.

Butcher's Favorites products as a way
of boosting a dog's mealtime. Each
recipe features a dry kibble with 70%
animal ingredients and protein-rich
jerky to support digestive health with
fiber and a blend of pre- and probiotics,
said Ernie Ambrose, the brand's
vice president of marketing.
Processors must also consider
the range of ingredients used in pet
food products including corn, wheat,
ancient grains, barley, oats, rice and
tapioca. Adolphe said difficulties in
digestion often arise from the total
fiber content of foods as well as the
presence of antinutritional factors.
" Though fiber can help promote
digestive health, too much total fiber
or high levels of certain types of
fiber can result in digestive upset, "
Adolphe said. " Fiber, being indigestible,
can also potentially trap nutrients.
Additionally, some ingredients
contain antinutritional factors that
