Introducing APSAPAL® Pets
of digests while maintaining the properties of the formula.
APSAPAL® is a premix designed to maximise feed palatability. Formulated with yeast and non-animal ingredients, it provides an intense, naturally sourced umami flavour that enhances the taste and aroma of feed ingredients and reduces animal-based digests/palatants by more than 50%.
APSAPAL® can be combined with all types of matrices and ingredients used in pet food and is compatible with single-protein, prescription and any other type of diet, including vegan diets.
APSAPAL® is available as meat and fish versions, which are compatible with all the corresponding flavours within each profile.
The physical and organoleptic characteristics of APSAPAL® also optimise the palatability of drinks and snacks for dogs and cats, making them more appealing, as well as supplements, in which it masks unpleasant flavours, smoothing oral administration.
BENEFITS OF USING APSAPAL® IN PET FOOD
- Reduces the amount of animal-based digest/palatant required.
- Improves feed acceptance and preference.
- Suitable for animals with digestive sensitivities.
- Promotes acceptance of functional, vegan or restricted
- Provides a natural source of glutamic acid without added monosodium glutamate.
- Low moisture and water activity levels in liquid form help to maintain the texture of the kibble and the shelf life of the pet food.
- Available in liquid and solid
Advantages of reducing the inclusion rate of digests in pet food
- Reduced dependence on animal-based ingredients —and the associated potential drawbacks.
- Reduction of moisture content and water activity in the feed.
- Greater standardisation of the sensory characteristics of the final product.
APSAPAL® offers health, welfare and profitability benefits when used in livestock feed.
APSAPAL® is used in livestock feed, contributing to improved zootechnical performance. Its main action is to stimulate umami receptors, encouraging voluntary feed consumption through a hedonic response that motivates intake.
These mechanisms result in significant production benefits, particularly during changes in formula or production stages such as weaning, the start of laying, heat stress or demanding physiological stages such as lactation.
APSAPAL® can also replace sweeteners or other sensory additives used in feed and helps mask the unpleasant flavours of certain ingredients, supplements or drugs. This makes it easier for animals to maintain a stable feed intake, even under adverse conditions.
Furthermore, the nucleotide content provided by yeast significantly benefits digestive and immune health, thereby improving overall well-being. Improved health reduces stress and promotes more stable and efficient performance.
