Palatability and Sustainability
Palatability
Dried pet food for dogs and cats is often coated with animal fat to secure that the level of energy and essential fatty acids in the food comply with the nutritional demands for complete pet food. And not to forget, the fat also makes the food appear appetizing and palatable to the pets. When fed with dried pet food coated with fat, this is one of the first ingredient the dog or cat will meet. If the fat used in the production of pet food is rancid, dogs and cats will refuse to eat it. The human nose will not be able to notice a small degree of rancidity, but dogs and cats will sense even the slightest smell of rancidity.
A rancid smell indicates that the fat has been exposed to oxidation. Rancidity may also be the result of bad preservation or the fact that the fat was not fresh when first used in the production. Over time peroxides take to carbonyl connections and analyses showing anisidin will reveal rancidity due to oxidation. It is therefore important that the fat used for pet food production is fresh and with a very low peroxide value.
The use of fresh raw materials in the production of animal fat quickly after slaughtering and a careful fat melting process are imperative factors to obtain low figures of free fatty

acids, peroxides and anisidin. As the high quality in the fat coating is directly linked to the taste of the pet food, the use of high-quality fats from BHJ will secure you appetizing and palatable servings.
Sustainability
As long as people eat meat, animal fats will be available. Taking the absolute best care of this fat and making really good use of it have in fact become an investment for the environment. Rendering plants processing fats from animal by-products actually capture substantial amounts of potential green house gases, securing that nothing is left to uncontrolled decomposition. Also for the use in biodiesel, animal fats make up a positive environmental alternative to vegetable fats with up to four times lower green house gas emission levels.
At BHJ, we focus daily on how to do things in a better way. As a result we offer animal fats that leave behind the smallest footprint possible, but still make a positive difference on the bottom line for your business.
BHJ Professional Fats. Real value, for you and the next generation.
