Demand in the pet food sector is growing worldwide, so companies need to adapt and also stand out by creating differentiated solutions.
One type of input that has been widely used in this sector is shredded proteins, such as shredded chicken and shredded beef. There are many advantages, and we’ll discuss some of them below.
For better visualization, below we will discuss the main advantages of this type of product for pets.
1. High protein value: Both chicken and beef are excellent sources of high-quality protein, which is essential for the growth and maintenance of pets’ muscles. Proteins are essential for tissue repair, the production of hormones and enzymes, and support for the immune system.
2. Digestibility: Generally, these meats are easily digestible for most dogs and cats, which can help with the efficient absorption of nutrients and lower incidence of gastrointestinal disorders, especially in animals with sensitive stomachs.
3. Versatility in the diet: Using shredded chicken or beef allows for variety in pets’ diets, which can be especially useful for animals with capricious appetites or those on controlled diets for health reasons.
3. Low fat: When prepared properly, shredded proteins have a low fat content, especially chicken breast, which is a very lean option. This will help maintain the animal’s healthy weight and avoid problems such as obesity.
4. Rich in other nutrients: In addition to protein, shredded proteins, such as chicken and beef, contain important vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, iron and zinc, which are crucial for various bodily functions in pets.
5. Good acceptance by the animal: Most dogs and cats really like the taste of meat, which makes it easier to feed them, especially when they are sick or have a poor appetite.
6. Option for homemade and natural diets: For owners who prefer to offer a more natural or homemade diet, using shredded meat is a great way to deliver this type of food.
Among the bottlenecks that the segment has when using this type of product, the main one is the issue of productivity. Making shredded chicken or meat in theory requires a lot of labor, as it is a very specific process. This is where our equipment comes in as a solution, being able to deliver large chicken and shredded meat products in a short time.
The process for using this line is very simple: just cook (we suggest cooking times) and then take it to our equipment. The shredding process is done instantly.
By resolving the issue of labor and productivity, it is much easier to implement a shredded chicken or meat line in the sector, making this the main reason why the DFC Line is widely used by animal feed manufacturers.
