Big news for canine gut health! A new peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Animal Science shows that plasma included in extruded kibble supports canine gut health and key immune indicators. Results from the University of Illinois study highlight meaningful shifts in f***l metabolites, microbiome measures, and immune and inflammatory biomarkers, reinforcing the growing body of evidence behind plasma in companion animal nutrition. If you formulate for gut health, immune support, or whole-body wellness, this paper adds important in-species insight with clear relevance for pet foods, functional treats, and supplements.
