How can you manage complex Bills of materials, meet nutritional requirements and marketing claims whilst guaranteeing maximum profit? The powerful BESTMIX pet food formulation software enables you to generate all of this critical information and boost your business. With BESTMIX feed formulation you can easily reflect the different production steps by breaking down the master recipe in sub recipes. This way, every sub recipe can easily be processed on its own during the production process. Furthermore, moisture loss due to extrusion is taken into account upon optimizing your recipes. This way you deliver the exact nutritional quality you claim on the label: nothing more, nothing less.
Create compliant declaration
How do you create compelling and innovative pet food with compliant declaration? The label of a pet food is key in your communication with the pet owner and is highly regulated. As pet food trends mirror those in human food, marketing claims have become standard practice on pet food declaration. Therefore, labelling is an integrated part of BESTMIX formulation, allowing you to assess compliance to regulations and claims early in the product development process. After approval, the product datasheets (incl. appropriate feeding guidelines) are automatically generated based on user defined templates.
