Published purpose
Livestock and fish farming are the largest contributors to the environmental impact of food production; thus, finding ways to sustainably reduce livestock and fish demand is desirable and will support the development of sustainable, local food systems. In the context of pet food, there are nutrients that have been historically provided by fish or meat ingredients and so to reduce our reliance on traditional farming, we will evaluate the nutritive value, palatability and digestibility of an adult maintenance dog food containing novel ingredients as main sources of protein and essential amino acids.
