While examining the state of the pet food industry for this is-
sue of Pet Food Processing, I was taken over by a feeling of
optimism. Pet industry sales continue to rise every year
' between and , global pet food sales rose 45.4%
and US sales increased 43.2%, according to Euromonitor
International. And the American Pet Products Association
(APPA) reports that 90.5 million US households have at least
one pet ' that's 70% of American households. If this pet own-
ership number continues to rise as expected, the demand for
more pet food and treats in a variety of formats will also un-
doubtedly be on the rise.
The first nine months of have featured a wide range of
innovative pet food, treat and supplement product launches.
As the trend toward humanization and premiumization of pet
food continues, products that mimic human foods and snacks,
including plant-based and alternative protein formulas, were
introduced in a variety of formats. Starting on Page 31, take
a look at our new product compilation featuring an overview
of some of the latest and greatest products released between
December and September . The new ideas coming to
market from the industry's top processors are truly impressive
and showcase how progressive the leaders of the industry are.
In order to keep delivering on product demands from to-
day's pet parents, pet food and treat processors have to keep
growing and expanding. Pet food and treat manufacturers, in-
gredient suppliers and equipment providers have shared news
of new facilities and plant expansions throughout the year,
with plans for even more in the months and years to come.
Take a look at some of the most notable projects in our con-
struction report starting on Page 21.
But none of this product and production growth could
happen without partnerships both from within the industry
and from companies that provide products and services that
support the industry. Starting on Page
47, you can read more about the in-
dustry associations that are invaluable
partners within the pet food industry.
Processors can also tap into industry
expertise from the wide range of in-
gredient, equipment, packaging, food
safety and service suppliers featured in
our first-ever Pet Food Processing Buyers Guide and Suppliers
Directory, starting on Page 58. The possibility for partner-
ships in pet food are endless.

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
US pet industry sales continue on an upward
trajectory, with lofty predictions for the future.
By Kimberlie Clyma |
Growth in the pet care industry shows no signs of
stopping. In , sales for the US pet care industry
reached over $100 billion for the first time ever, ac-
cording to the American Pet Products Association
(APPA). After reaching that milestone, the industry
expected continued growth, but the $123.6 billion in
sales in exceeded expectations. APPA estimated
growth would be around 6% for , but it ended up
at 13.5% by year's end.
"The numbers don't lie: The pet industry has
shown itself to be incredibly strong and resilient with
a record-breaking two years,' said Anne Ferrante,
APPA' senior vice president of member relations and
business development, following the release of the as-
sociation's State of the Industry data. 'We expect
continued growth as we look toward the remainder
of , although we anticipate it may be at a more
moderate pace given the impact of volatile factors like
inflation, supply chain issues and global relations.'
Globally, pet food sales grew to $123.6 billion, accord-
ing to year-end estimates by market research provider
Euromonitor International. In the United States, pet
food and treat sales are expected to reach $45.4 billion

million US households own some
sort of a pet (69 million households have a
dog and 45.3 million households have a cat).
by the end of . Dog and cat food exports for
set a record at $2.05 billion, which increased by 19.8%
from , according to the Department of Commerce.
If industry analysts are correct in their predictions,
the industry's growth won't be slowing, but rather pick-
ing up speed through the rest of the decade. Analysts
with Morgan Stanley Research and AlphaWise, the
company's survey and data group, believe the US pet
industry may reach $275 billion by .
"We think the US pet industry has reached an
inflection point, taking topline compound annual
growth rates to 8%, versus 3% for the last decade,'
said Simeon Gutman, equity analyst covering hard-
line retail for Morgan Stanley Research.
Fueling these expectations is the anticipated growth
in number of pet owners over the next five to 10 years.
According to the - APPA National Pet Owners
Survey, of US households own a pet, which equates
to 90.5 million homes. The AlphaWise survey reported
that of 18- to 34-year-olds plan to get a pet in the
next five years, which will help drive the expected
increase in pet ownership by .

growing need for pet food and treats in a va-
riety of formats to satisfy the cravings of the
expanding population of pets. But, possibly
more importantly, varying pet food and treat
formats are needed to satisfy the changing
demands of pet food purchasers ' the pet
parents.
While food and treats still top the list of
where pet parents' money is going, other
pet-related products and services continue
to make the list of necessary expenses. The
APPAs State of the Industry report
showed:
e $50 billion was spent on pet food and
treats (a 13.6% increase from ).
e $34.3 billion was spent on veterinar-
ian care and product sales (an 8.9% in-
crease over ).
e $29.8 billion was spent on pet supplies,
live animals and OTC medication (a
17.8% increase from ).
e $9.5 billion was spent on other servic-
es, including grooming, dog walking
and boarding (a 17.3% increase over
).
On the food side, all pet food formats saw
growth between August and August
, according to Chicago-based market re-
search firm IRI.
Dry dog food had a better year after de-
clining sales of 3.5% between August
and August . In the 52 weeks ended Aug.
7, , dry dog food sales increased 12.3%.
Dry cat food stayed more or less even between
and , but saw a 13.2% increase be-
tween and . Wet dog and cat food
saw 14.2% and 14.4% increases, respectively,
compared to the year prior.
The refrigerated/frozen category in both
dog and cat food led the way in category sales
growth with a 35.8% increase in dog food and
a 22.5% increase on the cat side. The category
had also seen solid sales growth between
and , though not quite as substantial.
On the treat side, dog treat sales continue
to rise with a 9.6% increase from $3.21 billion
in to $3.54 billion in . Cat treats saw
slightly higher growth from $969 million in
to $1.1 billion in , an increase of 14.9%.

consumer distributor, they're looking for more than
just the basics to feed their four-legged family mem-
bers. While complete-and-balanced food options are
always on the menu, pet parents are looking for more

Vegas, market research firm NielsenIQ shared its lat-
est pet industry data shedding some light on the pet

health are up 27%; kidney health are up 22%; and
heart health are up 19%. Those offering skin and coat
health and cellular function support are both up 18%;
and products boasting immune system, digestive and
joint health are all up 15% from to .
Not only are there more products on the market
touting these functional benefits, but online search
volume growth across pet retail channels shows
continued interest in specific product attributes.
According to NielsenIQ, pet parents frequently search
for products that specialize in dental health, hairball
control and anxiety health. Between August and
July , the most-searched pet product attributes

"CBD is being included in pet treats and supple-

Growth and
challenges
Despite labor shortages, sup-
ply chain challenges and rising
costs throughout the manufac-
turing industry, pet food pro-
cessors show their optimism
through continued plant expan-
sions, capital improvements and
even new plant construction.
CRB, a provider of sustain-
able engineering, architecture,
construction and consulting
to the food and beverages and
life sciences industries, took a
close look at this ever-chang-
ing industry in its Horizons:
Pet Food report. The Horizons
study, conducted in November
and December , consists of
responses to around 100 ques-
tions by 300 pet food manufac-
turing leaders.
"At stake is nothing less than
a projected $275 billion, the
expected annual value placed
on the pet food industry by
,' wrote Tim Barba, CRB's
chief operating officer, Global
Technical Operations, in the
report's opening passages. "To

Sustainability is more than
just a buzzword in the pet food
industry ' it's a mission-ori-

a powerful opportunity for us
all to collaborate in signifi-
cantly reducing the industry's
impact on the environment
According to PSC, with a col-
laborative effort from pet food
manufacturers and packaging
companies through programs
such as the Packaging Pledge,
'the pet industry can achieve
rapid adoption by and
near 80% transition of all pet
food multi-laminate packaging
by '
CRB's report also revealed
taking
tainability quite seriously. A
producers are sus-
question about future plans
for becoming carbon neutral
showed that the majority of
the
either have plans in the works
respondents' companies
for becoming carbon neutral,
or they soon will. Fifty per-
cent will have a plan in place
within five years; 30% within
10 years; and 7% in 10 years or
longer. Only 6% of respondents
reported that they have yet to
start working toward this goal.
As the pet food industry
continues its growth trajectory,
processors undoubtedly have a
lot on their plates. They face the
ongoing task of meeting the de-
mands of current and future pet
parents as they search for more
variety from the food and treats
they feed their pets. Alongside
this, the industry continues to
battle the manufacturing chal-
lenges of labor shortages, supply
chain logistics and rising ingre-
dient costs, all the while work-
ing to keep sustainability and
other environmental issues a
priority. If the pet food industry
can stay the course, innovating
and expanding along the way,
prognosticators might just be
correct with their lofty growth
predictions. PFP

las, fresh options and solution-based functional diets were par-
ticularly popular, catering to humanization and premiumization

tions gaining purchasing power and pet ownership continuing to
grow, the industry will continue to see demand for more of these
products, forcing processors to push innovation in the face of on-

Looming animal diseases and their potential
impact on US pet food supply chains.
By Jordan Tyler |
Animal diseases circulating the world are posing risk for
food supply chains in North America, including protein
supplies for the pet food manufacturing industry. With
highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) ebbing and
flowing across North America and affecting the supply of
poultry ingredients, as well as the risk of African swine fe-
ver (ASF) entering the United States and potentially dev-
astating pork production, having a strong biosecurity plan
in place and staying in the know on regulatory guidelines
could help reduce the severity of risk.
Pet Food Processing spoke with two topic experts to dive
into the current risk environment for each of these animal
diseases, as well as best practices, federal tools and funding
granted to address HPAI and ASF in the United States.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)
According to the USDAs Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), avian influenza is caused by
the Type A influenza virus. The virus spreads from wild
birds to poultry flocks, including commercial and backyard
chicken flocks, as well as turkey, duck and pheasant, all of
which are used in the development of dog and cat food to
some extent.
For the pet manufacturing industry, the threat HPAI
poses to chicken protein availability is particularly acute.
Chicken is the most widely used protein source in pet
food, with approximately 854,988 tons of chicken-based in-
gredients incorporated into US dog and cat food formulas
in . Additionally, 74,734 tons of turkey and 10,221 tons
of duck was used in pet food formulations in , not to
mention the number of poultry byproducts ' such as ren-
dered meals, fats and organ meats ' also incorporated in
pet food.
The specific strain currently moving across Canada and
the United States first originated in Europe in November
. The strain ' dubbed H5N1 ' can infect poultry
flocks with mortality rates as high as 90% to 100%, and
spreads quickly throughout a flock once one bird is in-
fected. The disease causes multi-organ failure, and infected
birds typically perish shortly after being affected ' within
the first 48 hours or so ' making it critical that poultry
farmers and pet food processors keep close watch of ani-
mals for symptoms of infection.
According to Billie Johnson, Ph.D., food safety and
regulatory compliance manager at BHJ North America, St.
Joseph, Mo., outbreaks of HPAI tend to crop up in a sea-
sonal pattern, peaking in February or March and declining
in the summer months.
'We will see about the lowest incidences of HPAI in
September, but then it begins to rise in October,' she said.
In , the peak for H5N1 happened in March, pre-
ceded by a peak in Europe in February. Johnson described
the impact of the H5NI strain so far as 'a slow burn' that
rapidly expanded to the United States.
"If you look at a map from Canada to the US, you can
see how the birds flew into the US, and thats where they
started affecting, or spreading the virus to commercial and
backyard poultry flocks, Johnson said.
According to the United States Geological Survey
(USGS), commercial poultry flocks are being hardest hit
in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. In the United States,
Johnson noted HPAI is hovering in commercial poultry

"Vigilance is high. Producers

country are all watching for it."
David Meeker, Ph.D., North American Renderers Association
flocks in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.
'The commercial flocks are hit the hardest up in the
North, right around the Great Lakes;' she said.
The USDAS APHIS continues to update its HPAI
Confirmed Detections tracker to keep industry stakehold-
ers informed. As of Sept. 27, 46.4 million birds have been
affected by HPAI, including 200 commercial flocks and 229
backyard flocks across the United States. Iowa is reporting
the highest impact by far, with 15 commercial flocks and 4
backyard flocks infected, affecting a total of roughly 13.37
million birds across the state.
Aside from these tracking tools, both APHIS and USGS
host a range of useful tools online to help producers and
industry stakeholders mitigate the situation as it develops.
Luckily, Johnson noted the biosecurity measures already
in place to meet regulatory standards for pet food in the
United States serve as a double-edged sword to prevent the
spread of animal-borne diseases like HPAI.
"All poultry operations must have that plan in place for
their biosecurity to make sure they're not getting visitors
or that they're isolating any birds that might be showing
signs,' she said. '..I send weekly notes to my QA groups to
make sure they're aware of what biosecurity practices need
to be involved and ensure we've put the measures in place
that we need to'
As the number of HPAI cases in the United States con-
tinues to rise, procurement professionals are tasked with
ensuring a consistent supply of poultry products.
'As we start to see the rise or the increase in cases, pro-
curement folks will make sure they can get as much chick-
en as possible,' Johnson said. '...All you can do is try to get
as much protein in as possible, and get it frozen to achieve
a longer shelf life?
She added that her company began seeing a dimin-
ished amount of turkey availability in December
and January , and a diminished supply of chicken in
March, April and May.
'We may go ahead and do a bunch of freezing and then
when we get a large request for chicken material, say in July

or August, a lot of our facilities will have the product and
a block crusher to crush those frozen blocks back into a
slurry for those customers,' Johnson explained.
According to Johnson, the virus is easier to detect in
chickens, while turkeys and ducks 'hardly show any kind of
symptoms' when infected. Therefore, if a flock of ducks is
housed too close to a chicken flock, the virus could spread
subtly from the ducks to the chickens. It's crucial in these
situations to keep flocks separated and monitor closely for
signs of illness.
It is also important for poultry producers to keep food
and water fresh for their flocks, as the virus can be spread
through bodily fluids. Theres also the matter of keeping
flock operators safe and prepared.
The USDA suggests that commercial growers wear PPE,
clean enclosures thoroughly by emptying them first and re-
moving all debris, cleaning, rinsing and drying all surfaces,
using disinfectant, and discarding any PPE and washing
hands thoroughly afterward.
To prevent H5N1 from infecting a flock, the USDA
recommends growers keep equipment and vehicles clean
through an established set of procedures, do not share tools
with other flock owners, define clear instructions for em-
ployees and routes, and ensure all workers know the warn-

"As soon as one of those birds starts to demonstrate even
a few of those symptoms, you need to make sure that you're
pulling those birds apart and keeping them separated so
that you dont get a rapid dissemination through the entire
flock? Johnson said.
The H5NI virus is highly susceptible to heat, which ex-
plains why cases tend to diminish in the summer months.
It also means that infected birds can be harvested and
slaughtered for use in pet food and the virus cooked out of
the meat, but not if the bird succumbs to the virus before it
is slaughtered, due to strict regulatory standards.
Ifa flock is infected, it can be exterminated and recouped
between 30 days to eight weeks, meaning the lack of sup-
ply would be shorter-lived compared to a herd of sheep or
cattle, but would still have a significant impact ' approxi-
mately a two-month gap, according to Johnson ' on the
supply chain.
In late May, APHIS announced Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack had approved a $400 million transfer of
funds to support HPAI response efforts across the United
States. Funds were transferred from the Commodity Credit
Corporation to APHIS to conduct research and provide
emergency support to poultry producers affected by the
virus.
The funding is critical not only for the poultry industry
at large, but especially for smaller flock owners and busi-
nesses with fewer resources, Johnson noted.
"Helping them understand and use the same types of
biosecurity measures [as larger corporations] to prevent it
affecting their full flock is very vital to them, and very vital
to us as well,' she said.
For better or for worse, this is not the first time the
United States has faced the threat of HPAI, and federal
agencies and industry stakeholders alike are equipped with
more knowledge than ever to stave off severe impacts.
'The biggest thing is that we all be prepared? Johnson
said. "Ihe instant we get any kind of indication from
Europe that the actual cases are worse than usual, we all
need to go on the defensive to make sure that we keep ev-
erything as contained as possible?

African swine fever (ASF)
According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship, ASF first cropped up in Kenya in
and has since spread across sub-Saharan Africa and some
areas of West Africa, as well as Eastern Europe, Belgium,
China and Vietnam. The animal disease has yet to enter the
United States, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, but cases
of ASF in Haiti and, most recently, the Dominican Republic
have put the United States on high alert.
Pork production and pork prices have been impacted by
ASE notably in Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, ac-
cording to Rabobank's Global Pork Quarterly Q3 re-
port. The USDA estimates Thailand's pork supply to drop
by 35% in , while prices for pork have increased by
60% since September .
According to Chenjun Pan, senior analyst of Animal
Protein at Rabobank, the issue of ASF in the Dominican
Republic and Haiti remains, but is well contained.
ASF can be spread from animal to animal through body
fluids, ticks that feed on infected animals, and cross-con-
tamination with humans that care for, transport or other-
wise interact with swine. Because the virus is highly conta-
gious, with a 100% mortality rate and no vaccine currently
available, quick detection and depopulation of infected pigs
is central to the United States' response.
David Meeker, Ph.D., senior vice president of the North
American Renderers Association (NARA) and director
of research at the Fats and Proteins Research Foundation,
holds an optimistic view of the situation, putting faith in
the USDA and industry stakeholders to prevent ASF from
entering the United States.
'The United States has a really good system,' Meeker
said. 'The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service is staffed with good veterinarians and really hard-
working people that are doing their best to keep [ASF] out,
including working with border control to make sure there
are not smuggled products that could be infected.
',..I dont think it's inevitable that we get the disease in
the United States' he added. 'I think there's a reasonable
chance that we can keep it from infecting and US pigs and,
if it does somehow get into a US herd, I think there's a fair

Because ASF can

to keeping the virus out

preventing the spread if

chance, again, that our surveillance systems will pick it up
fairly early. Vigilance is high. Producers and veterinarians
across the country are all watching for it'
According to Meeker, the pet food manufacturing indus-
try is a notable outlet for pork protein and pork byprod-
ucts, and any impact to this supply would be significant to
the pet food industry. If the virus entered the United States,
first there would be a glut of pork protein availability, fol-
lowed by a shortage.
'The first thing to establish is that the virus is of no
danger to humans or pets,' he noted. 'The second thing
to establish is that any heat process, including rendering
or extrusion, would also kill the virus, so you wouldnt be
spreading it by moving pet food around?
If ASF entered the United States on a widespread level,
pork producers and adjacent industry stakeholders would
face a "years-long battle' Meeker said, and the pet food in-
dustry would likely see a severe impact. Consumers would
likely turn away from pork-inclusive pet food products in
the case ofa domestic outbreak.
The United States is one of the world's premier pork
producers and the second-largest exporter of pork glob-
ally. In , the country exported $8.11 billion in pork
(roughly 3 metric tons), primarily to China, Japan, Mexico
and Canada, according to the USDAs Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS). If the virus were to enter the United States,
the USDA estimates mitigation would cost approximately
$50 billion over the next 10 years.
Meeker shared 'even a rumor of a case' in the United
States would shut down pork exports to some countries
and, when the situation was contained, pork producers
would have to jump through several hoops to reclaim ex-
port status. This process could take months, he added.
"Its just a major market disruption in any angle you look
from,' Meeker said.
Upon first detection, the USDA and industry alike
would need to move swiftly to contain ' and stop ' the
spread of ASF to other herds. This includes state veterinary
44 PETFOOD PROCESSING | October | www.petfoodprocessing.net
authorities and health officials, as well as federal regulatory
officers. Meeker shared a 72-hour stop movement would
ensue, meaning all live pigs would be contained until ex-
perts can determine how big the containment area needs to
be and establish immediate and contingent plans of action.
"It would be a combination of testing and control and
regulatory authorities; he added. 'Renderers and pork pro-
ducers will need to cooperate and do their best to shorten
the time as much as possible'
Like with HPAI, ASF can be spread among domestic
and wild pigs, as well as through people working closely
with pigs. The highly contagious virus is not infectious to
humans, but people can transmit the virus through their
clothing, farm equipment and uncooked pork products, ac-
cording to the USDA.
'Vehicles and drivers of vehicles are a major vector that
can spread it? Meeker shared.
Meeker shared NARA is currently putting together
guidelines for its renderer members to follow in situations
where transportation must go through a control zone or
near a plant, as well as contingency plans for local risk and
additional sanitation, banning plant visitations and keeping
strict separation between raw zones and cook zones.
According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship, symptoms of ASF in pigs include high
fever, coughing, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, discharge
around the eyes, pregnancy complications or weak litters,
reddening or darkening of the skin on the face, vomiting,
and overall weakness.
In April, a vaccine candidate for ASF passed 'an impor-
tant safety test required for regulatory approval inching
closer to commercial availability, according to the USDAs
Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
In June, the USDAs APHIS announced the launch of its
Protect Our Pigs campaign, aiming to provide commer-
cial pork producers, veterinarians and pig owners with re-
sources that help safeguard against ASE The program aims
to support the United States' first line of defense against
ASE, including more than 60,000 pork producers, over
1,500 swine veterinarians, and pig owners ofthe estimated
250,000 to 1 million domestic pigs.
The USDA estimates 76 million pigs are at risk if ASF en-
ters the country, which would also impact the half-million
jobs supported by the pork industry.
With the threat of ASF looming over the United States,
Meeker remains confident in the country's contingency
planning and preparation to prevent the virus from enter-
ing the United States and, if worse comes to worse, mini-
mizing the impact swiftly to keep the pork industry up and
running.
'Tm fairly optimistic that were not going to get it in this
country, and if we do get it, I'm fairly optimistic that it can
be controlled quickly" Meeker concluded. PFP

AMERICAN
FEED INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
Promising advocacy, representation and support to
industry members in times of turbulence or calm.
Regulatory hurdles, economic stressors and trade op-
portunities are all top of mind for the American Feed
Industry Association (AFIA) as it helps the industry
navigate shifting conditions and unprecedented disrup-
tions across the animal feed and pet food industries.
These priorities are emphasized through the associa-
tions continued advocacy for animal health and well-
ness, trade, industry sustainability, food and employee
safety, education, research, and engagement.
AFIAS membership consists of more than 650 domes-
tic and international companies, including pet food and
feed manufacturers, ingredient and equipment suppli-
ers, and industry-adjacent businesses. According to the
AFIA, more than of US animal feed and roughly
of non-whole grain ingredients in the country are
manufactured by its members.
The AFIA strives to give a voice to decisionmakers
on Capitol Hill or at the regulatory agencies on legis-
lative and regulatory matters and provide key insights
on timely topics affecting these industries. The AFIA
also offers confidential expertise to its members, as
well as opportunities for training and education, pro-
fessional development, and networking throughout
the year.
'A cornerstone of the AFIA is its four promises to
membership: Voice, Representation, Expertise and
Engagement; wrote Mike Schuster immediate past
chair at the AFIA and vice president of sales at Laidig
Systems, Inc, in AFIAs - State of the US
Animal Food Industry Report, which was published in
late August. "In my year as board chair, it was gratify-
progress on many issues important to the membership
and our industry?
In its latest State of the US Animal Food Industry
Report, the AFIA reiterated its mission, vision and val-
ues, and provided updates on the current business cli-
mate, feed and food safety, industry competitiveness
and trade, sustainability, and educational and network-
ing opportunities past, present and future.
'Disruptions in the supply chain will inevitably stay
with us throughout and unfortunately into ,
but so too will our commitment to work with industry
partners and governments around the world to resolve
bottlenecks, identify new opportunities and navigate
the global uncertainties posed by pandemics, produc-
tion shortages and political unrest,' wrote Constance
Cullman, president and chief executive officer of the
AFIA, in the report.
Over the last year, the AFIA has made headway on
several of these issues. Pressure on the Biden adminis-
tration contributed to the passage of the Ocean Shipping
Reform Act in June, which increases the authority of the
Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to investigate un-
reasonable fees and cargo refusals. The organization also
fought for the DRIVE-SAFE Act, a pilot program allow-

ingredient reviews.
The organization is also prioritizing contingency plans
for African swine fever (ASF), an animal disease posing
significant risks to the US pork industry and, subsequently,

tax incentives for the use of animal fats and oils in the
production of renewable diesel and the impact on the
pet food supply chain ' as well as sustainability and im-
provements to the new ingredient approval process.
State and federal lawmakers have enacted mandates
and tax incentives for the use of plant- and animal-
based oils and fats for renewable diesel production,
much to the chagrin of the animal food industry. These
policies have placed pet food producers at a market dis-
advantage, as they must now compete with renewable
fuel producers and the human food ingredient supply
chain for dog and cat food ingredients that are essential
to complete-and-balanced nutrition.
'While other industries enjoy tax credits for their
commodity's use in renewable fuel, US pet food and
human food makers are struggling to source the same
products that are necessary ingredients in pet food,' said
Betsy Flores, senior vice president of public policy.
To address this need, the organization's 'Feed People
and Pets First' campaign is rallying industry members
to urge Congress to halt these policies in favor of pet
food and human food sup-
ply chains.

for US pet food producers.
PFI has established a Sustainability Working Group.
From this information, the institutes Public Relations
Committee will develop messaging that highlights the
industry's efforts around responsible ingredient sourc-
ing, production efficiencies and overall economic sup-
port. PFI will stay abreast of changing plastics legislation
and communicate any impact to industry members
"Our goal is to be a convener and collaborator to
bring the right people to the table to discuss ways to help
address the impact of packaging and plastics legislation;"
said Savonne Caughey, senior director of advocacy and
government relations.
Streamlining the new ingredient approval process
through the US Food and Drug Administrations Center
for Veterinary Medicine (FDA CVM) is also on the
agenda for PFI. The current process is time-consuming
and expensive, taking up to five years for an ingredient
to gain approval. PFI recently heralded its support of an
amendment dedicating $8 million in funding to the FDA
CVM, which would help expedite the approval process
for new, innovative pet food and feed ingredients.
'A key example of this is the use of insect proteins,'
Brooks said. "Currently, there is tentative approval to
use only one ingredient ' black soldier fly larvae ' in
dog food. However, there are other high-quality insect
proteins that could be used in pet foods if the approval
process were more efficient and harmonized. This delays
bringing highly sustainable ingredients to market at a
time when the government is seeking to reduce carbon
emissions?
The 'big issue" for will be pet food label mod-
ernization, according to Pat Tovey, senior director of
food safety and regulatory compliance. PFI will work
closely with AAFCO to keep its members informed of
any significant pet food labeling and packaging updates.
'Through bringing the expertise and knowledge of
our membership to those who are responsible for laying
the legislative and regulatory foundation for the pet food
industry, PFI ensures that our members have a seat at
the table)' Brooks said.

'We are

problems.'
Jennifer Martin, PFA
PET
FOOD
ALLIANCE
Bringing rendering and pet food
professionals together to benefit both.
In December , roughly 85 rendering and pet
food industry leaders and academics gathered for
the first-ever Pet Food Alliance (PFA) meeting at
Colorado State University (CSU), Fort Collins, Colo.
Membership has since grown to more than 400 mem-
bers, with the shared goal of identifying and funding
collaborative research that advances these two closely
knit industries.
According to PFA leader Jennifer Martin, Ph.D., as-
sistant professor at CSU's Center for Meat Safety and
Quality in the Department of Animal Sciences, two
pivotal ideas led to the development of PFA: first, that
research should be guided by industry input to devel-
op implementable solutions, and secondly, all players
should be at the table.
"It makes sense that if were going to conduct re-
search that benefits both the pet food and the render-
ing industries, then we should bring everyone together
to discuss the challenges and opportunities and come
up with ideas that can be explored to generate solu-
tions,' Martin said.
PFA is a joint initiative facilitated through CSU
and funded largely by the Fats and Protein Research
Foundation, which funds research that supports the
future of the rendering industry and its industry part-
ners, including pet food producers. David Meeker,
Ph.D. senior vice president of the North American
PET FOOD
ALLIANCE
Rendering | Innovation | Research
54 PET FOOD PROCESSING | October | www.petfoodprocessing.net
Renderers Association (NARA) and director of the Fats
and Proteins Research Foundation, has also played a sig-
nificant role in supporting PFA. Additionally, registra-
tion fees for PFA's meetings go directly toward funding
research deemed most important by the alliances three
working groups: Product Safety, Product Quality, and
Consumer Perception and Sustainability.
Currently, the Product Safety working group is
surveying industry members to assess current prac-
tices, perceptions and impacts of foreign material in
pet food and rendered products. The Product Quality
working group continues to discuss methods for ex-
tracting fat from protein to determine peroxide value
(PV) and is surveying industry stakeholders to deter-
mine best practices and sample extraction methods
for this. The Consumer Perception working group
is looking into overlapping opportunities and chal-
lenges related to ingredient sustainability. These three
priorities will guide the organization's future research
initiatives.
The alliance hosts annual Technical Meetings, dur-
ing which a handful of industry professionals present on
topics relevant to current research efforts, interspersed
with designated time for working groups to meet and
discuss priorities and next steps.
At the Technical Meeting, Martin and other
PFA members discussed opportunities to improve the
efficiency of the alliance, including fine-tuning com-
munications, stoking engagement within the academic
community, and updating PFAs meeting structure to
better suit the needs of its members and working groups.
Regardless, the core mission of PFA will remain the
same ' supporting cross-industry collaboration and
exploring mutually beneficial opportunities in rendering
and pet food.

FEED CONTROL OFFICIALS
Supporting feed industry regulations
and food safety for over a century.
In a heavily regulated sector like pet food, industry
members turn to the experts to stay attuned to regulato-
ry hurdles and opportunities, ingredient standards, test-
ing methods and food safety support. The Association of
American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has been a
trusted leader in this space for more than 110 years.
The independent, non-profit organization serves as a
forum for animal feed and pet food manufacturers and
state and federal agencies to develop uniform regulatory
language for animal feed ingredients. It also provides a
key framework for animal feed and pet food ingredient
definitions and hosts biannual meetings through which
industry members can connect and learn.
AAFCOS current priorities include pet food label
modernization (PFLM), streamlining the ingredient
approval process, and encouraging cross-industry col-

laboration around the question, 'Why isn't hemp in animal
feed?'
In August, AAFCO partnered with the National
Industrial Hemp Council of America (NIHC) to co-host a
national webinar on the use of hemp in animal feed. The
webinar was attended by nearly 600 virtual participants
who witnessed 18 topic experts speak to the topic through
peer-to-peer discussions and panels on challenges, best
practices and possible solutions. The event was just one
facet of AAFCO's ongoing advocacy for industry members,
regulatory officials and state agricultural leaders to embrace
hemp safety and utility research in the interest of pet health
and wellness.
Looking ahead, AAFCO's Pet Food Committee is on the
cusp of completing its years-long PFLM initiative. The proj-
ect includes new nutrition fact boxes for pet food labels, as
well as answers to additional ingredient, safe handling and
nutritional adequacy questions. Final surveys and webinar
discussions will be held leading up to the implementation of
PFLM sometime in . The committee will hold a formal
vote for approval next year, and will continue working with
state regulatory officials and pet food manufacturers to sup-
port a smooth transition.
"Pet Food Label Modernization is one of the most sig-
nificant industry advancements in recent years,' said Austin
Therrell, AAFCOS executive director. 'AAFCO's work with
the industry and state regulators to modernize how pet food
and specialty pet food labels are presented to consumers
will create a new level of consistency and transparency not
seen before?
AAFCO is also working alongside the American Feed
Industry Association (AFIA) and Pet Food Institute (PFI) to
push for additional funding for the new ingredient approval
process and advocating for additional marketing claims '
things like environmental attributes, production claims and
microbiome effects ' to be allowed by the US Food and
Drug Administration.
In September, AAFCO tapped Therrell as its new execu-
tive director. He is a longtime active member of AAFCO,
having previously served as feed safety program manager
for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
AAFCOS continued awareness of current challenges and
trending topics, including rising costs, supply chain disrup-
tions and the rise of e-commerce purchasing, will continue
to help it guide and support the pet food and animal feed
industry in the years to come.
