What Is Palatability?

Pallatability is a combination of taste, aroma and texture characteristics of feed or food. It is a comprehensive reflection of the animal's visual organs, smell, touch and taste during the foraging, positioning and feeding process on the feed or food. . The palatability determines the degree to which the feed is received by the animal. It is closely related to the feed intake but difficult to describe quantitatively. It affects the animal's feed intake through the appetite of the animal.

Palatability

Right!

Pallatability is a combination of taste, aroma and texture characteristics of feed or food. It is a comprehensive reflection of the animal's visual organs, smell, touch and taste during the foraging, positioning and feeding process on the feed or food . The palatability determines the degree to which the feed is received by the animal. It is closely related to the feed intake but difficult to describe quantitatively. It affects the animal's feed intake through the appetite of the animal.

"Palatableness" mainly refers to the enthusiasm and frequency of animals and pets for food and feed. For animals, good palatability depends on the quality of the raw materials that make up the food itself, the principle proportion structure, manufacturing process, storage, and so on. The palatability of pet food (leisure food, dog food, cat food) is reflected by the pet's feed intake. Therefore, to study the palatability of pet food, we must first understand the pet's feeding physiology. The feeding of pets and animals is a complex activity, including a series of processes such as foraging, identification, location perception, ingestion and chewing and swallowing.

The most famous "palatability" theory in the field of pet food was first proposed by Mr. Wang Tianfei, a well-known pet nutritional formulator in China, which is "the damage to the palatability of pets caused by the production process during the production of pet foods. The technical theory of timely repair and repair ". Once the theory was announced, it immediately aroused widespread attention and attention in the pet food industry, and triggered a new revolution and improvement in the palatability technology of pet food. Today, the majority of manufacturing companies in the pet food industry have borrowed and applied this advanced technology theory, greatly increasing the pet's love of pet food, and also introducing pet food industry companies to a higher technological level.
