Beef 3mm Cat 3

Beef is a typical pet food ingredient with many nutritional benefits for cats and dogs. Besides being an excellent source of high-quality protein, it contains nutritious fatty acids and other essential nutrients, such as minerals and a wide range of amino acids. The many side streams from beef production for human food offer interesting possibilities for pet food applications. By-products of the beef industry include meat trimmings, bones, fat, and organs. IQI cooperates strategically with large beef producers and develops multiple added-value and functional beef-based pet food ingredients. As part of OSI-group, IQI leverages the extensive supply chain of the OSI-family to ensure that our customers get the beef they need.
