Using a higher ratio of thermal energy to mechanical energy during extrusion of dry pet foods can help manufacturers save money on energy costs, improve digestibility of the pet foods and provide a more natural way of cooking. That leads to this method optimizing traditional types of pet food products and allowing for the development of new, unique products, said Brian Streit, director of pet food and aquatic technology for Wenger Manufacturing, during Petfood Forum Europe 2015.
