Animal Feed Flavours for Canadian Feed Mills

Swine: piglet starter creep feeds (sweet/dairy/vanilla profiles to bridge weaning), grower/finisher palatability boosters, sow lactation feeds. Poultry: broiler starter palatants, layer feed acceptance, turkey grower. Cattle and dairy: TMR palatants, calf milk replacer flavours, mineral-lick sweeteners. Aquaculture: salmon, trout and shrimp attractants for extruded pellets. Equine: molasses-replacement sweeteners and herbal palatants for performance and senior feeds.

Formats supplied: spray-dried powders for premix and mash, liquid concentrates for post-pelleting application, encapsulated systems for extruded aquafeed, and heat-stable beadlets for pelleted poultry and swine.

Feed intake is the lever every nutritionist pulls first. Our sweetener systems (saccharin, neohesperidine DC, sucralose and natural alternatives) deliver high-impact sweetness at low inclusion (50–200 ppm) and stay active through pelleting at 75–90 °C. They're particularly effective at masking bitter mineral premixes, soy bitterness in piglet feed and the off-notes from high-DDGS or alternative-protein inclusions.

For dairy calf and piglet starter applications, vanilla-cream and milk profiles deliver familiar pre-weaning cues that measurably lift starter intake in the first 7–14 days post-weaning — a window where every gram of feed consumed compounds into post-weaning ADG.

Pelleting at 75–90 °C with 4–6% moisture, followed by extrusion at 110–140 °C for aquafeed, strips fragile aroma compounds rapidly. Our feed-grade systems use carriers (silica, calcium carbonate, soybean hulls) and encapsulation strategies (spray-dried matrices, hot-melt coatings) that hold 70–90% of active retention through standard pelleting and 50–70% through aquafeed extrusion.

For post-pelleting liquid application (PPLA), we supply concentrated liquid palatants that are sprayed onto the cooled pellet at 0.05–0.2% inclusion — the highest retention pathway and increasingly the default for premium piglet, broiler starter and aqua feeds.

Animal feed flavours and palatants in Canada fall under the Feeds Act and Feeds Regulations administered by CFIA. Each carrier, sweetener and aroma chemical must appear on Schedule IV (Single Ingredient Feeds) or be approved as a non-nutritive feed additive. We supply Canadian Approved Feed Ingredient declarations, IF (Ingredient Feed) listings, full CoAs, allergen statements and Hazardous Products Regulations safety data so your QA and registration teams have everything required for mill use and any provincial reporting.

Our facility certifications (FSSC 22000, FAMI-QS for feed) align with the third-party audit programs Canadian feed mills run against — the file pack we send is built for audit, not for the bin.
