Cats, dogs agree on something: ‘We prefer Arbiom SylPro to what you’re feeding us’
In North Carolina, new trials conducted by the Pet Food Program at Kansas State University, found that cats preferred the food formulated with Arboim SylPro over food formulated with conventional protein ingredients, such as chicken meal and pea protein concentrate. Cats not only chose the SylPro-based food first, but they remained with the SylPro based food as their preferred food choice. Foods prepared with SylPro also exhibited excellent protein digestibility. The study follows on from similar results deen in trials with dogs.
SylPro is produced via Arbiom’s bioprocessing technology which converts wood into food for microorganisms. The ingredient is comprised of dried inactive yeast cells. Arbiom has developed SylPro to address the challenges of producing more sustainable, nutritional, traceable protein sources to feed the future using less resources, with less impact to the environment.
“Following our previous successful trial in dog food, this new study continues to provide evidence that SylPro is a nutritional, sustainable, and as we’re seeing, highly-palatable, new protein ingredient for use in pet foods,” said Marc Chevrel, Arbiom CEO. “We anticipate further trials will prove equally promising and we look forward to receiving additional results as we continue our journey towards the commercialization of SylPro, and future protein products,” said Chevrel.
