Full-fat krill meal: excellent natural source of nutrients for pet food

June 15 2020

Pets need a well-balanced diet for optimal health. Antarctic krill is a functional, sustainable and traceable MSC-certified marine ingredient that combines a number of important nutrients. Processed into full-fat krill meal, it is an excellent natural source of both palatable and digestible protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, anti-oxidants and other nutrients. These are essential to the health of pets, such as cats and dogs, and offer benefits including:

• increasing the absorption of vitamins and minerals;
• stimulating hormone production;
• ensuring healthy growth and development;
• and helping in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
