Azelis Animal Nutrition Adds Natural Plant Based Roquette Range of Products to its Portfolio

UFAS-accredited supplier Azelis Animal Nutrition has added the Roquette range of natural, plant-based products to its portfolio of responsibly sourced ingredients for Petfood, Premix, Aquafeed & Animal Feed manufacturers based in the UK and Ireland.

The Azelis portfolio now includes solutions to meet the growing demand for natural, gluten free and grain free alternatives for Petfood.

Nutritional ingredients include highly digestible, concentrated proteins and alternative fibre sources for wet and dry petfood made from hydrolysed wheat gluten, maize gluten, peas and potato. High protein alternatives to fishmeal can also be supplied, as well as functional ingredients to improve the texture of extruded feed.

The range also includes efficient energy sources such as starches, maltodextrins, dextrose, sorbitol and glucose syrup. Roquette starches are highly digestible when cooked, have a superb effect on kibble density and texture, and reduce potential anti-nutritional compounds and mycotoxin risks. In wet food, precooked and cook up starches help enhance the texture and appearance of gravy. Grain-free starch options and ingredients for hypo-allergenic diets can also be supplied.

In addition, the company’s sorbitol, polyol, glycerol blends and glucose syrups all help to create a softer texture by controlling water activity.

The soluble and fermentable fibres available come from pea, potato, maize and wheat. These have a beneficial prebiotic effect in the gut, whereas non fermentable fibre sources are helpful for calorie reduction and stool quality.

Many of the Roquette ingredients are ideal for nutritious pet treats – with innovative solutions available for soft/hard textures, shiny coatings, soft-centres, sugar-free and reduced calorie presentations.

Azelis Animal Nutrition is also able to supply natural antioxidants and vitamins for petfoods and Aquafeed. These products are derived from non-GMO vegetable oil and provide an excellent replacement for synthetic or other tocopherol-based antioxidants.

We can also offer laboratory testing of finished products and advice on the best antioxidant for the ingredients and requirements of the feed product. The natural vitamin E range offers a highly bioavailable natural source of vitamin E in different concentrations and powders/liquids.

Interested nutritionists working for premix houses, petfood companies and animal feed/aquafeed manufacturers should contact Azelis Animal Nutrition on 01928 793000 for further information.
