in the small intestine and lead to
putrefaction in the large intestine.
Examples include some legumes, nuts,
seeds, whole grains and vegetables.
Avoid anti-digestive factors, for
example soybeans or even beans. Wellcontrolled
cooking destroys these antienzymes
without altering the proteins.
How to support the digestive
system of your dog?
There are two marine seaweed extract
products typically used by nutritionists
in Europe, Asia and the Americas to
protect a production animal’s gut
microbiome and optimize digestibility.
playing a key role. MFeed+® is a hybrid
molecule (seaweed extracts grafted
into exfoliated clay layers) with unique
structural properties: stabilizing
enzymes, promoting contact between
food substrate and enzymes, while
providing the cofactors (metallic ions)
necessary to catalyze the enzymatic
hydrolysis of food into nutrients.
Improving ileal digestibility, reducing
undigested feed passage and nitrogen
excretion leads to healthier gut and
better feces quality (Olmix).
Dosage is 1-2 kg per ton depending on
the food formula and targeted category
of pets.

ALGIMUN® for strengthened
gut defenses
Based on the association of
two biologically active sulfated
polysaccharides extracted from marine
algae, it is formulated to improve the
integrity of the intestinal wall for higher
resistance to pathogenic aggressions
and modulates the production of several
immune mediators to strengthen both
innate and adaptive immune responses
(Sarez).
Dosage is 1-3 kg per ton depending
on the age and application of the pet
food to ensure better gut integrity and
immune response.
MFEED+® supporting
digestive efficiency
The welfare of your pet depends on
an optimal digestive process, with the
effectiveness of endogenous enzymes
Pet owners prioritize their pet’s gut
health at the top of the list for deciding
which petfood to purchase. We can
provide advice and assistance on how
to best formulate to position your pet
products to deliver on gut health.
