Services To provide integrated solutions from: Nutrient formulations: Balanced nutraceutical formulations are compounded to provide additional nutrient support for well recognised conditions. Dietary Supplements:
Supplements are formulated from essential nutrients to fortify all types of diets and to ensure optimum nutrition for animals at different ages and stages of development.
A broad range of high quality nutrients are selected and blended for their synergistic effect. They include glandular and tissue extracts from animal, plant and marine sources, as well as vitamins and minerals. Whole extracts with an inherent balance and synergy of nutrients are preferred as the synergistic effect of all ingredients is sought.
Formulations incorporate knowledge of the dietary sources available to animals in the wild. Full label description of ingredients and their active moiety is provided with every product, and scientific references are available to support inclusion of ingredients.
A general information card with advice for animal owners is available with most products.
Manufacturing Policy Nutrients are extracted and prepared carefully, preferably by freeze-drying to preserve biological activity, enhance bio-availability, and prevent nutrient damage and deterioration. Manufacture is carried out in MAF certified premises, and raw material and finished products are stored appropriately.
