Processing Technologies in Petfood Manufacturing

Details

Based on current product developments with high meat inclusion/no grain recipes and related successes using the single screw extruder to make successful commercial products, it is believed this topic will be of high interest.  Due to the strategic aspect to marketing future products in this format the topic should yield a fairly large and engaged audience. 

 

Greg Aldrich, PhD is currently involved directly with formulation/nutrition technologies in the petfood market, and is recognized and respected in the industry for his work. Dr. Aldrich conducts research and aids companies with introduction of cutting edge new products for pets. He actively participates in development of these high meat extruded foods and will provide insight regarding some of the challenges and opportunities they present in an effort to produce safe and effective food solutions for the next generation of pet food. 

 

Will Henry addresses petfood manufacturers around the world regarding practical solutions for extrusion, processing, product development and food safety systems.  In this talk he will include technical process data regarding the trials completed on high meat inclusion (with both typical grain-based and exotic no-grain recipes) and the single screw technology used in the successful development of this new product category.  

 

We believe the presentation teaming Greg Aldrich and Will Henry together will help  dispel fears in the market relative to running high meat diets with this type of equipment. Both will also present information about how those type of products will very soon define the Super-Premium Petfood category.
