NEWS 14 Alternative Proteins Magazine October 2024 Germany-based pet food brand Dr. Clauder’s joined forces with protein pioneer Calysta to launch the world’s first dog treats made with FeedKind® Pet protein, a revolutionary new pet food ingredient. The air-dried treats from Dr. Clauder's were presented at the world’s leading pet trade fair, Interzoo. The product contains Calysta’s nutritionally rich protein produced by natural fermentation. According to the companies, its production by natural fermentation makes this protein an excellent nonGMO ingredient that meets market demands for nutritional quality, taste and health for pets. After its debut at Interzoo, the Dr. Clauder Trainee snack cultivated protein treat featuring FeedKind Pet, will be made available for sale in Europe. Calysta explains that FeedKind Pet protein is a fermented ingredient that is nutrient dense, has a complete amino acid profile for dogs, and has postbiotic properties that help maintain a healthy gut in animals. Additionally, FeedKind Pet is a vegan protein source. “Dog owners have high expectations for their pet’s food and are increasingly conscious about the source, quality, and safety of the ingredients used,” said Herman Sloot, vice president commercial development at Calysta. “For the first time, Europe’s pet food sector has the option to choose a high-quality source of protein that is nutritious and kind to the environment. Calysta is now producing at significant scale, and FeedKind Pet is approved for use in pet foods in the EU. We are excited Dr. Clauder’s is introducing a snack featuring FeedKind Pet protein as we set a new standard for dog treats – one that prioritises both taste and health, while looking after our planet,” Sloot added.

More than 5,000 samples have reportedly already been stored in the cell bank of the biotech company. This bank, allowing the cultivation of meat without the need for animal slaughter, is the result of several years of research by the startup. Its existence ensures access to a sufficient quantity and variety of cells that can be cultivated for both research and production purposes, the company states. “The cell bank is a crucial element in our effort to produce meat in an ethical and sustainable way. From the very outset, we knew that it would be essential to our success. Advanced cell preservation technology is critical to the smooth progress of both our research and cultivated meat production. With its use, we can meet the demand for meat without a negative impact on animals and the environment. In our research and production, we mainly use primary cells directly sourced from small tissue samples, ensuring both high quality and an ethical approach,” explains Ing. Zuzana Šaturová, Manager of the Cell Bank. Read more>> Czech start-up unveils cell bank for cultivated meat
