Feed flavors & palatants
Feed flavors and palatants for Canadian feed mills
A feed flavor (or palatant) is a concentrated flavouring added to animal feed to increase intake, mask off-notes from raw materials and keep taste consistent from batch to batch. Delsa supplies feed flavours to mills, premix houses and integrators across Canada from our Edmonton office, backed by 30+ years of global R&D.
Our range covers dairy and vanilla notes for milk replacers and calf starters, savoury meat and fish profiles for aquafeed and pet food, sweet molasses and cereal notes for ruminant concentrates, and custom feed flavour development for any species or formulation. Every palatant is engineered for pelleting and extrusion stability so the profile survives to the finished feed.

FAQ
Feed flavours: common questions
What are feed flavors (palatants) and why are they used?+
Feed flavors — also called palatants — are concentrated flavourings added to livestock, poultry, swine, ruminant and aquafeed formulations to increase feed intake, mask bitter or off-notes from raw materials, and keep taste consistent batch to batch. They're especially valuable in young-animal diets, milk replacers and formulations that use alternative protein sources.
Do you supply feed flavours to Canadian feed mills and premix houses?+
Yes. Delsa Flavours Canada is the Canadian office of Delsa, serving feed manufacturers, premix houses and integrators across Canada with local sales, technical support and sampling from our Edmonton office.
Which species do your animal feed flavours cover?+
Cattle, dairy cows, calves, pigs and piglets, poultry, sheep and goats, horses, and aquaculture species including salmonids, shrimp and finfish. We can develop custom feed flavour profiles for any species-specific formulation.
Are your feed flavours stable through pelleting and extrusion?+
Yes. Our palatants are engineered for process stability across pelleting, extrusion and premix handling. We match delivery form (liquid or dry) to your process so the flavour survives to the finished feed.
How do I request a sample of a feed flavour?+
Use the Request a Sample form on this page. Tell us the species, formulation type and any target profile — we'll ship a sample and a technical data sheet to your facility.
