    Puffed Grains for
    Petfood & Feed

    Limagrain Ingredients offers natural puffed ingredients mainly based on grains like Maize, Barley or Wheat. Rice or Sorghum are used as attractive alternatives to those standard grains and can be a great way to feed animals tasty but also nutritious meals.

    Our puffed barley and other puffed grains all can be used in a wide range of applications in various mixes, mueslis, dinners and pellets for dogs, rodents, horses, birds and other pets.

    The appealing shape and popcorn-like flavour and aroma of our puffed rice for dogs raise the acceptance level of the feed as a whole. Presco puffed products contain a high degree of gelatinized starch. This makes the product more easily digestible than native starch, while having a high nutrient digestibility. This results in fewer intestinal disorders or diarrhoea. Pets use the feed more efficiently and live longer and healthier lives.

    Presco puffed grains are made in our unique pressure-cooking process in which the starch is made highly digestible. This process also speeds up the absorption of all other nutrients in our maize for dogs and other ingredients. The nutritional values of the grains are retained optimally through the 100% natural Presco treatment. In addition, this process ensures the uniform expansion of the grains and greater homogeneity from one batch to another for consistent product quality.

    Limagrain Ingredients is constantly adapting its range to better suit the pet food market. As part of this focus, we developed the Presco range with different forms and densities from whole grains to flakes, not forgetting crushed grains, flours and pellets which are easy to use in formulations.

    We now offer maize for dogs, puffed barley and puffed rice for dogs, in addition to a range of other grains that come in different textures and sizes.

    So, whether you’re a breeder, animal enthusiast or dog food producer, our products can help you to provide the highest possible standard of tasty, nutritious feed to your dogs and other animals.
