What is Kibble?
Kibble refers to dry, crunchy petfood comprising ground up ingredients shaped into pebble-like pellets. Typically, it is made from a blend of meat meal, grains e.g. rice and corn, vegetables, fats, vitamins and other materials, but exact ingredients vary by brand. Compared to wet food, kibble rates as the best nutritional source for pets, with the rough texture and crunchiness removing plaque and tartar from their teeth. With a longer shelf life than wet dog food, kibble is easy to measure, convenient to store and can be purchased in bulk. There are a wide range of kibbles on the market from low quality to premium, high value products.
The Role of Meat Meal in Kibble
Meat meal is a concentrated, dehydrated form of meat that doesn’t contain any animal by-products. It is made by cooking down the raw meat to remove moisture, creating a more concentrated protein source. Meat meals are rendered products, which means they have been processed with heat to separate the fat and water from the meat, ultimately resulting in a nutrient-rich powder. Meat meal is used in kibble because it provides a highly digestible, concentrated protein source that is stable and can be stored easily. As an ingredient in petfood that does not contain animal by-products, it’s essential for ensuring that the pet food provides adequate protein and amino acids.
