Ÿnsect’s new mealworm-based wet pet food ingredient, WetPro15, is nutritionally excellent, environmentally sound, and functionally transparent for pet food manufacturers. These attributes will appeal to pet owners who are seeking quality alternatives to conventional ingredients — but the bottom line is, how will our cats and dogs respond to it? Here, we report the results of two new studies that reveal that including WetPro15 in the diet has no negative effect on palatability for pets, and no detrimental effects on faecal consistency in dogs.

Sprÿng powered by Ÿnsect is launching its wet protein ingredient for pet food, WetPro15. WetPro15 combines nutritional excellence with a low environmental “pawprint”. It also has similar functionality to widely-used animal ingredients. That is why Sprÿng is an ideal substitute for traditional protein sources in pet food.

At Sprÿng powered by Ynsect, we believe that pet-owners should be able to have complete confidence that the food they give their companion animals is of the highest possible quality – in particular, that it is safe. We have previously reported that our mealworm-based dry pet food ingredient, Protein70, is well within regulatory limits for contaminants . In this article we report that the same is true for our wet protein ingredient, WetPro15. Furthermore, we share results from a new study that has shown that dogs fed a diet containing our Protein70 ingredient maintain ideal health parameters over a six-month maintenance trial.

At Sprÿng, powered by Ynsect, we are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation: WetPro15.It is a raw material boasting 15% protein content, ideal for crafting wet pet food.

Sprÿng products don’t contain a lot of ash, but the ash they do contain has an interesting mineral profile that contributes to good health and nutrition.

The global obesity crisis, a health concern of “epidemic proportions” for humans, is sadly affecting our companion animals too. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 59% of dogs and 61% of cats worldwide are currently obese — a figure that has risen over the past decade by 169% for cats and 158% for dogs.
