Pure whole egg powder is produced from by-products of the egg and poultry production industry. The eggs are filtered and gently spray dried to preserve the chemical integrity of essential nutrients. The resulting pure whole egg powder is rich in protein, essential amino acids, fatty acids, powerful antioxidants, and vitamins to help meet the nutritional requirements of cats and dogs. The powder has applications in both wet and dry pet food and can be pelleted for improved handling at the pet food producer.
