Ingredient Articles
Our blog includes many articles about ingredients and formulation. Read them here or visit all posts on our blog page, here.
Our cold-pressed pellets contain seeds, whole grains, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins and micros… for better nutrition and less waste!
Essential oils boost nutrition and appeal, protect feed from oxidation, help animals better respond to stress, enhance immunity and gut health, and promote growth and performance.
Read our many articles about why we choose pellets for even though they’re not as pretty.
Pellets hold loose ingredients together. (Fishmeal, vitamins and other powdery things are too good to waste.) Our pellets continue to look like feed even if they end up on the ground... and your animals eat them!
Organic flavoring in the pellets smells great and encourages consumption.
