Abstract
A pet food in the form of a coated kibble wherein the coated kibble is made of a core and a coating. The core can be extruded and can have a moisture, or water, content less than 12%. The core can contain a coating. The coating can have a protein component at from 50% to 95% of the coating and a binder component at from 5% to 50% of the pet coating.
Claims20
A pet food in the form of a coated kibble, comprising:
- an extruded core having a water content less than 12%;
- from 0.1% to 75% coating, the coating coated on the extruded core to form a coated kibble;
- wherein the coating comprises a protein component at from 50% to 99% of the coating and a binder component at from 1% to 50% of the coating;
- wherein the coated kibble comprises less than 12% water content.
A pet food in the form of a coated kibble, said coated kibble comprising an extruded core having a moisture content less than 12% and a coating, wherein the coating comprises from 50% to 95% by weight of a macronutrient, wherein the macronutrient is distributed between said core and said coating in a ratio of between 12 to 1 and 1 to 12, by weight.
A pet food in the form of a coated kibble, comprising:
- from 25% to 99.9% of an extruded core at less than 12% moisture content;
- from 0.1% to 75% of a coating coated onto the extruded core, forming a coated kibble;
- wherein the core comprises from 0% to 80% protein source, 0% to 15% fat source, 20% to 100% carbohydrate source, and 0% to 80% other ingredients;
- wherein the coating comprises from 50% to 99% protein component, 1% to 50% binder component, 0% to 70% palatant component, 0% to 50% fat component, and 0% to 50% other components;
- wherein the protein source is distributed between said core and said coating in a ratio of between 12 to 1 and 1 to 12;
- wherein the coated kibble comprises less than 12% water content.
