ProtaSTAR®
In pet food applications where quality matters, ProtaSTAR® is your ingredient of choice.
For young animals with the highest nutritional demands, ingredient quality is critical. ProtaSTAR® combines excellent digestibility with good palatability and a well-balanced amino acid profile. Its very low ash content makes it also valuable in both specialised dietary and pet food applications where mineral management matters.
ProtaSTAR® is made for the applications where purity and digestibility are non-negotiable. These are some of the contexts where formulators put it to work.
- Young animal nutrition: excellent digestibility and very low anti-nutritional factors make ProtaSTAR® particularly suited to starter feeds, where gut health and nutrient uptake are at their most critical.
- Low allergen feed: a potato-derived alternative for formulations where common allergens such as soy need to be avoided.
- Coat and feather quality: elevated levels of phenylalanine and tyrosine support healthy coat development and feather condition across species.
- Speciality and dietary pet food: low ash and potassium content makes ProtaSTAR® a strong choice for renal and other mineral-restricted diets.
Every formulation presents its own demands. ProtaSTAR® is built to meet the most of them.
