EXTRACTS<br />
FOR PETS<br />
The first trial measured the digestible<br />
indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS),<br />
a score based on amino acid digestibility<br />
that is used to assess protein quality.<br />
DIAAS values for Hilucia Protein were<br />
compared to scores for chicken meal, a<br />
high-quality, very common ingredient<br />
in pet food, and powdered egg, which<br />
is considered the gold standard for<br />
protein quality. Results demonstrate that<br />
Hilucia Protein is a suitable substitute<br />
for chicken meal in pet foods 1 .<br />
• Turmeric<br />
• Capsicum<br />
• Rosemary<br />
• Black pepper<br />
• And more...<br />
In the second trial, dog diets were<br />
specifically formulated for this research<br />
and included a controlled diet made<br />
with chicken meal, a diet that included<br />
15% Hilucia Protein, and another<br />
test diet that included 30% Hilucia<br />
Protein. These levels represented using<br />
insect protein as a partial substitution<br />
for chicken meal and one that replaced<br />
chicken meal entirely. Findings indicate<br />
that the Hilucia Protein at both 15%<br />
and 30% inclusion was well accepted<br />
by the dogs 1 . Additionally, all the diets<br />
had average fecal scores between<br />
2 and 3, which is considered ideal 1 .<br />
Researchers also noted that macronutrient<br />
digestibility values were<br />
very similar between the three diets,<br />
again suggesting that Hilucia Protein<br />
performs similarly to chicken meal in dog<br />
diets 1 .<br />
