Animal Food Product Development Service – Food Research Lab

 As global demand rises for high-performance pet and livestock nutrition, brands are increasingly turning to expert R&D partners who can deliver science-based solutions, regulatory compliance, and product innovation. At Food Research Lab (FRL), we provide comprehensive animal food product development services, tailored to pet, livestock, and aquaculture segments. From early-stage formulation to product validation and manufacturing support, we help brands launch safe, effective, and market-ready nutrition solutions.

Whether you’re a startup entering the pet food market or an established company expanding your feed line, FRL is your trusted partner in pet food R&D services and commercialization strategy.

Science-Led Pet Food Formulation & Innovation

Scientific integrity lies at the heart of our development process. Our multidisciplinary team of veterinarians, food technologists, and nutritionists apply species-specific nutritional science to ensure each product meets performance, safety, and market needs. Our expertise spans across:

  • Pet food for dogs and cats
  • Livestock feed for poultry, cattle, goats, and swine
  • Aquaculture feed for fish and shrimp
  • Veterinary diets and prescription nutrition
  • Functional pet treats supporting coat health, joint mobility, digestion, and immunity

We understand that taste, digestibility, texture, and nutrient density are equally important. Our balanced approach ensures every formula is effective, palatable, and regulatory-compliant.

Ingredient Innovation & Nutritional Optimization

Creating advanced nutrition products starts with smart ingredient selection. We help brands harness the power of:

  • Prebiotics and probiotics for gut health
  • Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA for cognitive and immune support
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health
  • Botanical extracts and functional herbs
  • High-quality proteins from fish, poultry, plant, or insect sources
  • Natural antioxidants for cellular protection

We optimize macronutrient balance (protein–fat–carbohydrate ratios), ensuring adherence to AAFCO, FEDIAF, and FSSAI guidelines, while supporting current consumer trends such as:

  • Grain-free formulations
  • High-protein animal feed
  • Additive-free and hypoallergenic pet food
  • Sustainable and clean-label animal nutrition

Palatability, Digestibility & Acceptance Testing

Animal nutrition is only effective if the animal eats and absorbs it. FRL offers comprehensive palatability and digestibility assessments, including:

  • Taste and texture preference studies across breeds and species
  • In-vitro and in-vivo digestibility simulations
  • Stool consistency and GI health assessments
  • Comparative feed efficiency evaluations for livestock

These validations ensure high product acceptance, improved nutrient uptake, and optimized feeding performance.

We support your full product lifecycle with services that include:

  • Custom pet food formulation
  • Contract feed formulation services
  • Animal food prototype development
  • Private label pet food development
  • Ingredient sourcing & vendor alignment
  • New pet food product development solutions

From puppy and kitten formulas to senior nutrition and exotic diets, FRL ensures your product is scientifically formulated, market-tested, and manufacturing-ready.

Manufacturing Support & Technical Feasibility

Navigating production complexities is a crucial part of animal food product success. We offer practical assistance with:

  • Wet vs. dry food formulation development
  • Extrusion, kibble texture, and shape optimization
  • Moisture and density control
  • Shelf-life and product stability testing
  • Compatibility with regional climates and packaging

Our pilot and small-lot production capabilities bridge the gap between R&D and commercial rollout—ensuring smooth scale-up with minimal reformulation.

FRL ensures your product meets local and international standards. We guide brands through regulatory pathways including:

  • FSSAI (India)
  • AAFCO (USA)
  • FEDIAF (Europe)
  • Veterinary prescription and supplement guidelines

We support label claim substantiation (e.g., "rich in protein," "supports joint health," "grain-free") through lab-tested data, ingredient traceability, and vet approval protocols.
