Meatybind® – Revolutionizing Pet Food Nutrition

Meatybind is gelling and water-binding protein concentrate. It enhances mouthfeel and nutrition. Functional proteins are reshaping the pet food industry by replacing synthetic or ingredients with lower nutritional value like carrageenan. They add value far beyond thickening—they bring texture, stability, and digestibility, naturally.

Hydropro® – a Natural Step Ahead

Hydropro is an upcoming poultry hydrolysate with high digestibility, hypoallergenic properties, and naturally flavorful. Our enzymatically hydrolyzed poultry proteins are broken down into highly digestible peptides and amino acids, delivering targeted nutrition and superior absorption. Whether you’re formulating for cats, seniors, puppies, or pets with sensitivities, our hydrolysates offer a clean-label solution without compromising performance.

Bovine Meal

Bovine meal is robust protein for beef-based or mixed animal protein pet foods. The production starts around mid 2026.
