The pet food market is demanding low ash chicken meals as well as chicken meat meals. IQI is partnering with dedicated premium meat meals and powder producers. Also, low FFA chicken fat is in strong demand, stabilised with natural anti-oxidants and chicken hydrolysed protein is our latest add-on in liquid form.
IQI offers a wide range of dried chicken products to the pet food industry. Our processing is typically done more gently than the classical rendering. Most products come from human-grade processing lines, whereby enzyme technology or a gentle cooking process is used to separate the fat. Spray drying or other low-temperature drying systems are used to make the final product shelf stable. All of our dried chicken products are stabilized with natural antioxidants, while ash levels are typically below 12%. Together with our supply partners, we can tailor product specifications to the customer’s needs and deliver certified products with regard to animal welfare.
EU certified
As confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), all of IQI's imported animal proteins from Europe which comply with EU Regulation 1069/2009, once further processed into petfood in the U.S. are eligible for export from the U.S. to the EU.
