PlantX has partnered with Kirtana Inc. to add three pet food and treat brands to its online shopping platform.

Chaga mushrooms provides a source of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins B2, B3, D2 and K1, and digestive aids to support gastrointestinal health.

The ingredient, AlgaPrime DHA, is a clean label fish oil alternative and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids.

The company will manufacture a $13 million facility in Jerome, Idaho, as part of its partnership with Montana Microbial Products to produce barley protein concentrate for use in pet food and aquaculture feed.

A plethora of dietary fiber ingredient options for pet food must be properly balanced to reap functional and nutritional benefits.

MiAlgae said it will apply the investment toward commercializing the sustainable ingredient for use in pet food and aquaculture applications.
