🐾Petfood Forum Events’ Post

The supplementary pet food segment has recently become one of the most exciting and promising product categories for specialized distribution. Integrating diets and using naturally sourced products that benefit the body and promote better health are among the trends firmly establishing themselves in human consumption. Similarly, a partially analogous scenario is unfolding in the pet care sector, where many dog and cat owners are inclined to explore supplementary food offerings. This trend further boosts sales of products designed for joint or skin health and gastrointestinal support, to name a few therapeutic areas within the universe of complementary pet food. #PetCare #AnimalHealth #PetNutrition #AnimalNutrition #PetLovers #VeterinaryCare

Nutrition Week Recap: emphasizing transparency and practicality.   Last week, I really enjoyed this Royal Canin event focused on shaping the future of pet nutrition. For a whole four days, veterinary nutritionists dive into their career through a hands-on experience. They meet, exchange, and follow expert nutritionists in practice.    What I particularly love about Nutrition Week is the fusion of two perspectives: the nutritionists’ one, masters of theories about nutrients and food; and our Associates’ one, professionals of the petcare industry bringing practical solutions to the table. And indeed, science and reality must be combined to create the optimal blend for pet nutrition.   It was fascinating to observe nutrition experts during the hands-on workshops, where they faced social and environmental challenges while developing the best nutritional solutions for pets. These gatherings are invaluable to us, as they encourage the exchange of insights, emphasize the importance of growing together, and possibly inspire future careers.   #RoyalCanin #NutritionWeek #PetFood #Collaboration #VetBusinessLeadership #HealthThroughNutrition

In the latest episode of More Than Kibble, University of Guelph researchers Anna Kate Shoveller, Alexandra Rankovic, MSc, PhD, and Sydney Banton discuss the process of #petfood research and how academia works in collaboration with the #petfoodindustry to advance pet health and wellness. "As we see an increase in the global human population and pet population, we need to produce more food for them which means that we need to better understand nutrient requirements," Shoveller shared. "That's why my lab continues to pursue amino acid requirements."

Alarming Retraction: Industry-Funded Dog Food Study Raises Concerns About Copper Levels A recent study on copper content in dog food, sponsored by a major pet food manufacturer, has been retracted by the publishing journal due to a critical data error. While the company maintains the value of their research, independent veterinary researchers have identified significant design flaws in the study, questioning its ability to address potential health risks associated with copper levels in pet food. This case underscores the crucial role of rigorous research methodologies and independent oversight in ensuring the safety and well-being of our pet companions. Industry funding plays a vital role in advancing pet nutrition research, but robust study design and transparent data analysis are equally essential to establish reliable standards for pet food safety. BSM Partners continues to challenge the industry to provide funding for research to establish objective, science-based standards. #ResearchTransparency #NothingIsImpossible #RetractionWatch https://lnkd.in/dHaghJNx
