Animal Food Product Development Service – Food Research Lab

As the global demand for pet and livestock nutrition continues to grow, companies are increasingly seeking expert R&D partners who offer scientific rigor, regulatory understanding, and market-ready innovation. At Food Research Lab (FRL), we provide comprehensive animal food product development solutions tailored to pet, livestock, and aquatic feed markets. From pet food formulation to performance testing and product scale-up, our services ensure your brand launches safe, effective, and nutritionally sound animal food products.

Whether you’re an established brand expanding into new categories or a startup venturing into the pet nutrition space, FRL serves as your end-to-end pet food R&D services partner.


Science-Driven Pet Food Formulation & Innovation

At the core of our development process is science. Our team of food technologists and veterinarians applies the latest in veterinary nutrition science to ensure each formulation meets species-specific dietary requirements and performance expectations. We cater to various product categories, including:

  • Pet food for dogs and cats
  • Livestock feed for poultry, cattle, and goats
  • Aquafeed for fish and shrimp
  • Veterinary supplements and prescription diets
  • Functional pet treats targeting joints, coat health, immunity, and digestion

We understand that health, flavor, texture, and safety all matter when it comes to animal nutrition. Our lab balances these elements to help you deliver reliable and compliant products.


Functional Ingredient Selection & Nutritional Optimization

Developing next-generation nutrition products begins with strategic functional ingredient selection. Our experts help you choose from:

  • Prebiotics and probiotics
  • Omega-3 and DHA supplements
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support
  • Natural antioxidants
  • Herbal extracts and vet-approved additives
  • High-quality protein sources (fish, poultry, legumes)

We go further to optimize the protein-fat-carb ratio, ensuring formulas align with nutritional adequacy testing (AAFCO, FEDIAF) and consumer trends such as:

  • Grain-free pet food formulation
  • High-protein animal feed
  • Additive-free animal food formulation
  • Clean-label and sustainable nutrition

Palatability, Digestibility, and Product Acceptance

Animal acceptance is just as important as nutrient content. Our palatability testing and digestibility analysis help determine:

  • Taste and texture preferences across species and breeds
  • Ingredient interactions and GI health impacts
  • Stool quality and nutrient absorption
  • Comparative feed efficiency in livestock

We offer prototype tasting panels, in-vitro digestion simulations, and partner trials for real-world validation.

Whether it’s a nutrient-enriched puppy formula, a grain-free dog food, or senior pet nutrition solution, our flexible services and deep expertise make us the ideal pet food product development company in India.


Manufacturing Feasibility: Extrusion, Kibble, and Stability

We also assist with the technical challenges of product manufacturing, including:

  • Wet vs. dry food formulation
  • Extrusion and kibble development
  • Textural enhancement and moisture control
  • Shelf-life testing for pet foods
  • Stability testing for animal feed in various climates

We help you bridge the gap between R&D and commercial production, ensuring that every batch performs as intended in real-world settings.


Regulatory & Claim Support for Global Markets

Launching animal food products in compliance with global standards is critical. Our team helps navigate regulatory frameworks like:

  • FSSAI (India)
  • AAFCO (USA)
  • FEDIAF (Europe)
  • Veterinary OTC and supplement labeling

We offer full support for product claims validation for pet nutrition, including digestibility, protein content, immune support, and vet approval.
