The Power of Postbiotics: Novel approach for enhancing pet health

Postbiotics are novel pet food ingredients that confer microbiome benefits without the stability challenges associated with probiotics. This presentation will explain the science behind the development of novel postbiotics, such as strains selection, clinical efficacy testing in pets, and stability in finished pet food formats, with focus on three specific case examples describing the development of novel postbiotics to support metabolic health, oral care, and gut health in pets. Attendees will gain insights into the science behind microbial strain selection and pre-clinical screening, clinical trials validating efficacy in pets, as well as the results of application science studies, demonstrating how certain postbiotic strains retain their functionality through different manufacturing processes.
