Single-Protein Diets

100% Chicken
100% Beef

• Designed for elimination diets or animals with suspected adverse food reactions (AFR).
• Provide a controlled exposure to a single animal protein source, facilitating dietary trials.
• Typically highly digestible depending on raw material quality and processing conditions.

Nutritional Considerations:

• Chicken: Generally lower in fat, high in digestible protein.
• Beef: Typically higher in fat and iron content, contributing to energy density and palatability.

Mixed-Protein Diets

Chicken & White Fish
Chicken & Salmon
Chicken & Beef

These formulations combine complementary protein sources to enhance amino acid diversity and sensory appeal.

Chicken & White Fish

• White fish (e.g. cod, haddock) is typically lean and highly digestible.
• Contributes to a lower fat profile while maintaining high-quality protein.
• Suitable for animals requiring controlled fat intake.

Chicken & Salmon

• Salmon provides a rich source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA.
• Supports:
  • Anti-inflammatory pathways
  • Skin barrier function
  • Cognitive and retinal health

Scientific basis:
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) have been shown to modulate inflammatory mediators (Calder, 2017, Nutrients).

Chicken & Beef

• Combines poultry and red meat proteins to improve palatability and broaden micronutrient intake.
• Beef contributes haem iron and zinc, supporting erythropoiesis and immune function.

Key Nutritional Features (Expected)

• High-quality animal protein: Supports lean body mass maintenance.
• Amino acid diversity: Particularly in mixed-protein variants.
• Palatability enhancement: Multiple protein sources increase acceptance in selective feeders.
• Fatty acid variation:
  • Chicken: moderate omega-6
  • Fish: omega-3 enrichment
  • Beef: higher saturated and monounsaturated fats
