Benefits of linPET

• Stability of the fats and Omega-3s for greater than 12 months​
  • • Shelf-life tests with third party labs supporting
• Analytical in-house testing (NIR) of both raw ingredients and finished product
  • •  Fat
    •  Fibre
    •  Protein
    • Moisture
• Ready to use (shelf ready), no grinding required – safe
• 100% land-based, sustainable approach, no by-products
• Non-GMO source
• Suitable for grain-free diets
• The pulses (dried peas & beans) are a high source of fibre (assists in digestive health)
• The Omega-3s provide the mono-glycerite energy to the pet and soften & make their coats shine
• No sensory issues with smell (fishy or marine smell)
• Boosts the immune system in the pet (anti-inflammatory)

Why LinPRO?

LinPRO is a unique blend of flax and pulses extruded under controlled temperature and pressure in our patented dry extrusion process. The resulting product provides outstanding nutrition and health benefits to swine, significantly improving overall swine performance. LinPRO is also an acceptable alternative to soybean meal as a protein supplement for use in growing-finishing swine diets.

How Dry Extrusion Works

• Flaxseed cell wall ruptures
• Protein structures change
• Starches from the dried pulses gelatinize
• Homogenization of ingredients (flaxseed and pulses)

The Power of Dry Extrusion

O&T Farms patented dry-extrusion process uses pressure, friction and temperature to erupt oilseeds and gelatinize starches (from pulses) around the fat cells. During the process, protein-fat and protein-starch matrixes are formed, which protect the unstable Omega-3 fat source. The effect is a nutrient dense and shelf-stable source of Omega-3s.  Perfect for the inclusion of Omega-3’s into a complete pet-food formula and supporting for increased packaging shelf-life.

Omega-3s Benefits to Pets:

• Boost the immune system in the pet
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Support digestive health
• Soften and shine the pets

It has been proven that Omega-3 fatty acids support pet gut health, foster brain and vision development, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. Omega-3s are vital for a pet’s overall health, as their body cannot produce these essential fatty acids. Therefore, they need to come from a pet’s diet.

The Benefits of Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a sustainable oilseed, rich in Omega-3s that is frequently incorporated into pet foods. For the oil to be incorporated, the seed must be crushed or ruptured to make its rich polyunsaturated Omega-3 fat source available, which in turn will introduce oxidization concerns. Polyunsaturated fats oxidize extremely fast so once the flaxseeds are ruptured/crushed their useful life is limited. This shelf-life limiting factor is a critical issue for the pet food, and an opportunity for  linPET to help support.
