Sardine hydrolysate

Spray-dried sardine hydrolysate is the premium version of IQI's sardine meal. While both products are similarly high in protein content (71%), the fineness of hydrolysate has several advantages compared to a rendered meal. The product works especially well in low-temperature treat applications – as is the case with most spray-dried ingredients. Spray-dried hydrolysate can be used specifically for hypo-allergenic diets, or in general for diets in which a higher protein (and lower ash) level is required or for diets that require superior digestibility. Because of the high content of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in sardines, sardine hydrolysate powder offers the same health benefits for cats and dogs as sardine meal.
