Shiguang Yu, PhD, global technical manager for DSM Nutritional Products, explains how vitamins, organic compounds essential for pet life, are unstable in pet food processing and storage. Product forms, including vitamin derivatives, coating, adsorption, encapsulation and others, have been developed to make vitamins more stable and easier to handle, but certain vitamin forms may contain ingredients that might compromise claims made on pet food labels. Yu shares new research data and critical information to understand the various forms’ bioavailability, stability, analytical methods, label claims and applications in pet food.
