Interzoo <strong>2024</strong><br />
May 7-10<br />
Nuremberg<br />
Hall 4 Booth 4-420<br />
The Emsland Group will be exhibiting for<br />
the first time at the Interzoo in Nuremberg<br />
from May 7 to 10. The Emsland Group is an<br />
international company that manufactures<br />
innovative products based on plant-based<br />
raw materials for the pet food processing<br />
industry, among others.<br />
The plant-based ingredients of the<br />
Emsland Group are made from peas<br />
and potatoes. In line with their guiding<br />
principle — “using nature to create”<br />
— the company has developed the<br />
innovative Empet® products for domestic<br />
and commercial animal nutrition. The<br />
components of potatoes and peas are<br />
ideal to support the market trends. These<br />
materials offer the possibility to produce<br />
non-GMO, natural and gluten- and grainfree<br />
products. The portfolio of the Emsland<br />
Group for animal nutrition consists of<br />
proteins, fibers, potato flakes and starches.<br />
Pet food should contain various amino<br />
acids. Although pets are capable<br />
of producing the majority of these<br />
themselves, there are 10 (essential)<br />
amino acids which they cannot generate.<br />
Peas and potatoes are excellent sources<br />
of easily digestible vegetable proteins<br />
and therefore our Empet® protein<br />
ingredients supplement the daily diet.<br />
These ingredients are rich in essential<br />
amino acids such as lysine, methionine,<br />
cysteine, valine, and arginine. Empet® pea<br />
and potato proteins offer many appealing<br />
qualities such as a low ash content as<br />
well as a lack of GMOs, allergens, grains<br />
and gluten. In terms of sustainability,<br />
these plant-based proteins are also more<br />
sustainable than their animal-based<br />
counterparts.<br />
Fibers can play a very important role in a<br />
pet’s diet. Insoluble fibers are responsible<br />
for creating a feeling of fullness without<br />
adding any calories. A higher fiber content<br />
in everyday animal feed increases the<br />
quantity of feed without increasing its<br />
energy content, meaning that the animal<br />
feels full without overeating. Especially<br />
for overweight animals, this can make it<br />
easier to implement a weight loss diet; it<br />
can also improve the feeling of fullness for<br />
animals that are constantly hungry, aiding<br />
in the prevention of obesity. The Emsland<br />
Group’s Empet® E 5 ingredients play what<br />
could be called a “mechanical” role in<br />
the digestive tract. Fibers have proven<br />
effective in relieving the symptoms of<br />
various diarrheal diseases. Fibers even<br />
can be helpful for diseases of the liver and<br />
kidneys. They lower the pH value in the gut<br />
and thus reduce the amount of ammonia<br />
released, which in turn provides relief<br />
to the metabolism through the positive<br />
effect of fibers’ strong ability to absorb<br />
water on diarrheal diseases.<br />
Potato flakes produced from fresh<br />
potatoes are applicable in a wide range<br />
of wet and dry pet food products, for<br />
example in products made by an extrusion<br />
process. In animal nutrition, potato flakes<br />
are used as a cold water functional binder,<br />
dough improver or for optimizing process<br />
viscosity for extrusion.<br />
