Natural additives for petfood
A growing place of
Pets in households
More than one-third of households in developed countries own a pet.
85 million European households have a pet. They occupy a growing place in households, so much that we speak of pet “parenthood” to describe the affectionate and protective relationships that unite owners with their pets.
A strong growth in
Petfood production
Pet food production is growing worldwide. Europe leads the way with 11.6 million tons (+2.7% compared to 2020), followed by North America (10.6 million tons, +12.7%), then Latin America (7.2 million tons, +7.7%). The strongest growth in pet food production was recorded in the Asia-Pacific region, which produced 3.81 million tons at a growth rate of 17.1%.
The strongest growth in pet food production was in the Asia-Pacific region, which produced 3.8 million tons in 2021, up 17.1% from the previous year.
Next are Africa and Oceania, each with a production of 450,000 tons, followed by the Middle East (75,000t).
More and more concerned about the health of their pets, pet owners are paying more attention to the composition of the products they buy and their nutritional virtues. As a result, feed products are increasingly segmented according to expected benefits but also according to breed, age, weight, etc.
Nor-Feed's expertise in
Petfood additives
Since its creation in 2003, Nor-Feed has been studying the benefits of plant extracts for animal nutrition and health.
The research work conducted by our teams of veterinarians and nutritionists has led to the development of a range of standardized natural additives for pets, which allow:
- Stimulate the growth of lactobacilli, which participate in the balance of the microbiota
- Calm naturally and contribute to the well-being of pets
- Prevent from oxidative stress in the body, and help prevent cellular aging
- Contribute to the strengthening of the immune system
- Support the cognitive abilities of pets
- Improve feed palatability
- Contribute to the control of ammonia emissions
