What is linPET?
O&T Farms is leading the way in sustainable pet nutrition with linPET, a highly stable, Omega-3 land-based feed ingredient designed specifically for pet food formulations. Made from flaxseed and field peas and utilizing a advanced patented technology process, linPET boasts a shelf life of 14 months, even in tropical climates. This makes it a reliable and sustainable alternative to marine-based Omega-3s, without the sensory issues associated with smell and taste.
The Key Benefits of linPET
linPET delivers a range of health benefits for pets, including:
- Boosting the immune system
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Supporting digestive health
- Promoting a softer, shinier coat
These benefits make linPET an excellent ingredient for pet food manufacturers looking to create high-quality, health-focused products.
Addressing Industry Challenges with linPET
The pet food industry faces challenges like the unreliability of marine-based Omega-3s and the growing demand for sustainable solutions. LinPET offers a great alternative. Unlike fish oil, which oxidizes quickly and can result in spoilage, linPET remains stable and effective over time. This ensures that pet food manufacturers can deliver consistent, high-quality products to their customers By focusing on land-based, sustainable ingredients, O&T Farms is not only addressing the Omega-3 shortage but also setting a new standard for innovation in pet nutrition.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
O&T Farms’ advanced patented technology includes flaxseed, one of the richest sources of land-based Omega-3s, combined with field peas for their unique protein and starch base. This combination ensures excellent absorption and creates a natural barrier, making linPET shelf-stable. As Cedric further explains in the interview, “Sustainability is a key advantage of linPET. Fish oil is becoming less stable due to declining Omega-3 concentrations in fish populations. We can overcome this challenge by using products like linPET, which are 100% land-based and exceptionally stable.”
Transforming Pet Nutrition for a Healthier Future
linPET is more than just a feed ingredient—it’s a solution that supports healthier pets, promotes sustainable farming, and contributes to the wellbeing of the pet food industry. O&T Farms is proud to lead the way in creating products that meet the needs of today’s health-conscious pet owners.
