Chicken Liver Powder - High Protein Natural Palatant

Product Overview

Chicken Liver Powder (High-Protein Natural Palatant) is a versatile, nutrient-dense feed additive that bridges flavor enhancement and nutritional support for pets, aquatic animals, swine, and poultry. It starts with premium-grade chilled chicken livers—sourced for freshness and high nutrient density—then undergoes a two-step manufacturing process that sets it apart from generic liver powders: targeted enzymatic hydrolysis and spray-drying. Enzymatic hydrolysis breaks down complex proteins into smaller, more digestible peptides, making nutrients easier for animals to absorb while intensifying the natural liver flavor that acts as a powerful attractant. Spray-drying then locks in these enhanced flavors and nutrients, resulting in a fine, free-flowing powder that mixes seamlessly into diverse feed formulations. Unlike synthetic palatants that only boost taste, this powder serves a dual role: it increases feed intake by appealing to animals’ natural preferences and enriches feeds with high-quality protein and essential micronutrients, making it a cost-effective, all-in-one solution for feed manufacturers.

Product Benefits

High Protein Content & Improved Digestibility

With a guaranteed crude protein content of ≥55%, this Chicken Liver Powder is a robust protein source for animals at every life stage. The targeted enzymatic hydrolysis process is a game-changer: it breaks down tough protein structures into bioavailable peptides, reducing digestive strain and boosting nutrient absorption. This is particularly beneficial for young animals—like piglets post-weaning or juvenile pets—and aquatic species, which often have delicate digestive systems and require easily digestible protein to support growth.

Concentrated Natural Attractant for Better Intake

Spray-drying intensifies the chicken liver’s natural fragrance, creating a potent attractant that resonates with a wide range of animals. For pet food, this means picky dogs and cats are more likely to eat consistently; for aquatic feed, the aroma cuts through water to draw fish and shrimp, reducing feed waste; for swine and poultry, it encourages higher intake—critical for supporting steady growth and weight gain. Unlike artificial flavorings that fade over time, the natural flavor in this powder stays stable, ensuring consistent appeal throughout the feed’s shelf life.

Rich Micronutrients for Holistic Animal Health

Beyond protein, this powder is a natural source of micronutrients that support long-term animal health. It contains highly bioavailable heme iron—essential for preventing anemia and supporting oxygen transport in the blood—along with selenium (a powerful antioxidant), unsaturated fatty acids (for healthy cell function), and B vitamins (for energy metabolism). These nutrients add intrinsic value to feeds, reducing the need for separate micronutrient supplements and helping manufacturers create more balanced, nutritionally complete products.

Broad Compatibility Across Feed Types

One of the powder’s greatest strengths is its versatility. It performs exceptionally well in:

Pet food (both dry kibble and wet formulations for dogs, cats, and small mammals)

Aquatic feed (for fish, shrimp, and other aquatic species)

Piglet feed (for animals <20kg) and grower-finisher pig feed

Poultry rations (including chicken, duck, and turkey feed)

This versatility lets feed manufacturers streamline their ingredient inventory, using one product across multiple feed lines instead of stocking separate palatants for each species.

Usage

Targeted Feed Types & Recommended Dosage

The ideal inclusion rate varies by animal species and feed purpose, ensuring optimal performance:

Piglet Feed (<20kg): 2.0% – 10.0%. Young piglets often struggle with feed intake post-weaning; this dosage range boosts appeal and provides the protein needed for early growth.

Aquatic Feed: 2.0% – 20.0%. Aquatic animals rely on scent to locate food—higher dosages ensure the aroma is strong enough to attract them, minimizing waste in water.

Pig Feed (Grower-Finisher): 3.0% – 8.0%. This balance of flavor and nutrition supports steady weight gain without adding excess fat.

Poultry Feed: 0.5% – 2.0%. Poultry have less sensitive taste buds, so a lower dosage enhances acceptance without disrupting feed’s nutritional balance.

Pet Food: 1.0% – 5.0%. Adjust based on pet age (higher for puppies/kittens, lower for adults) and taste preferences.

Application Methods

The powder’s fine, free-flowing texture makes it easy to integrate into feed. For dry feeds (e.g., pet kibble, poultry pellets), mix it directly with other dry ingredients (grains, vitamins, minerals) during blending—5-10 minutes of high-speed mixing ensures uniform distribution. For wet feeds (e.g., canned pet food, aquatic paste feed), add it during the mixing stage before extrusion or canning. No special equipment is needed; standard feed-mixing machinery works perfectly.

Storage & Handling Guidelines

Packaged in 40kg bags designed to resist moisture and contamination, the powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors (it can absorb scents that alter feed flavor). When stored correctly, it has a 12-month shelf life. Once opened, seal the bag tightly with a moisture-proof clip after each use and consume the remaining powder within 2-3 weeks to prevent caking or spoilage. If caking occurs (due to moisture), do not use the powder—caking indicates potential microbial growth.
