Veramaris® Pets algal oil is the latest addition to dsm-firmenich’s petfood portfolio.

The company emphasizes that Veramaris® Pets aims to change this as an infinitely consistent and scalable source of omega-3 that does not rely on fish stocks. With Veramaris® Pets joining dsm-firmenich’s growing petfood portfolio, producers will benefit from the company’s worldwide team of experts, global supply chain and access to a range of nutritional and taste products. At Petfood Forum, dsm-firmenich also showcased DHAgold™, which offers petfood brands even more versatility in DHA fortification. According to the information provided by the company, this easy-to-use powder is made from fermented algae and is scientifically proven to support brain health in dogs.
