Animals and Food: New Food Strategies and Discoveries to Preserve the Health of Our Animal Friends

Dear Colleagues,

The market of dry pet food is constantly expanding, and new formulations are proposed, making it necessary to have a more accurate assessment of the raw materials used in the production processes. Pet food should ensure the right supply of nutrients so that the animal can enjoy a good state of health. In this respect, the different components present in dry pet food play a very important role, since many of these are not naturally produced by the body, and therefore, they must necessarily be taken with the diet.
