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 support palatability, address off-notes from raw materials and help maintain a consistent taste profile. 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. Palatant selection and delivery form can be discussed in relation to pelleting, extrusion and 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 support feed palatability, address bitter or off-notes from raw materials, and help maintain a consistent taste profile. They're especially valuable in young-animal diets, milk replacers and formulations that use alternative protein sources.
