Some see potato, we see potential!
We develop our own potato varieties, giving us full control over the characteristics of our potato-based ingredients.
Farm animals & aquafeed
From piglets to farmed fish, the demand for reliable protein is the same: consistent quality, predictable supply and ingredients that perform where it matters most. Whether you’re producing high-quality piglet feed, poultry diets or aquafeed pellets, Avebe’s range of potato-based proteins delivers.
Pet food
Pet food is no longer a commodity category. Pet owners increasingly scrutinise ingredient lists, demand sustainable sourcing and expect the same nutritional standards for their animals that they apply to themselves. Manufacturers know that every ingredient matters. Avebe’s potato-based proteins, starches and coating systems give you the functional performance, clean label credentials and supply reliability to meet the expectations of your customers whether they fill the bowl, or eat from it.
From dry kibble to wet food
Pet owners treat their animals as family, and they shop accordingly. They want nutritious pet food that aligns with their values around sustainability and clean labelling. Meeting that expectation requires ingredients that perform consistently across formats, from dry kibble to wet food and semi-moist to snacks. Avebe’s potato-based proteins and starches deliver across every format. From ProtaSTAR®’s two-bowl-proven palatability to Palstar’s grain-free coating system; whatever format you’re developing, Avebe has the ingredient to match.

Potato protein: the pet food ingredient that ticked every box
Vobra Special Petfoods was founded in 1932 and has nearly a century of experience in producing pet food. Harold Tiekstra, Account Manager Feed and Pet Food: “The first order was placed with Avebe in 2003. Vobra returned in 2005 and they been a regular and very satisfied customer since 2007.”
High performance across species and applications
It isn’t hard to spot the differences between piglets and farmed fish, but it’s easy to miss the similarities. Nutritional demands between farm animals and fish may vary wildly; the need for consistent, high-quality ingredients does not. Avebe’s potato-based proteins and starches perform across species and applications. Our high-quality animal feed products are backed by a fully controlled supply chain that guarantees stable availability and quality.
"I've seen what the right ingredient does for an animal. That's why quality is never negotiable."Remmelt Jan Arends Director Feed & Petfood
