Talk to our pet food experts

As an expe­ri­en­ced partner in the pet food indus­try, MAGNESIA has been sup­p­ly­ing mineral raw mate­ri­als in veri­fied quality for over 40 years.

Healthy pets need a balan­ced diet – and mine­rals play a key role in this. Manu­fac­tu­r­ers world­wi­de trust our exper­ti­se, our trans­pa­rent supply chain and our ability to develop indi­vi­du­al solu­ti­ons for a wide variety of recipes.

Whether dry food, wet food or BARF – we offer you a broad port­fo­lio of func­tion­al com­pounds distin­gu­is­hed by purity, bio­avai­la­bi­li­ty and tech­no­lo­gi­cal advan­ta­ges.

Applications of our raw materials in pet food

Mineral com­pounds are indis­pensable for the pro­duc­tion of modern pet food. They fulfil not only nut­ri­tio­nal func­tions, but also tech­no­lo­gi­cal func­tions in pro­duc­tion. Our raw mate­ri­als can be used as indi­vi­du­al ingre­di­ents and addi­ti­ves – for dogs, cats, small animals, fish and rep­ti­les. Typical areas of application:

  • Mineral enrich­ment to meet daily requirements
  • Tech­no­lo­gi­cal addi­ti­ves for sta­bi­li­ty and texture
  • BARF sup­ple­ments to prevent nut­ri­ent deficiencies
  • Spe­cial­ty pro­ducts such as PetGo for sus­tainable phos­pho­rus supply

Mineral raw materials proven in the pet food industry

Our port­fo­lio includes a wide range of com­pounds that have proven them­sel­ves in pet food pro­duc­tion world­wi­de. They are available in dif­fe­rent qua­li­ties, par­tic­le sizes and purity grades – tail­o­red to your requi­re­ments for solu­bi­li­ty, taste and pro­cessa­bi­li­ty.

Why minerals are essential in pet food

Mine­rals are essen­ti­al for the health and per­for­mance of pets. They support meta­bo­lism, bone and dental health, nervous system and muscle acti­vi­ty as well as the immune system. A balan­ced mineral supply is crucial – espe­ci­al­ly in BARF feeding, where calcium and phos­pho­rus sources are often lacking.

Fur­ther­mo­re, mine­rals con­tri­bu­te to the regu­la­ti­on of the acid-base balance, the sta­bi­li­ty of cel­lu­lar meta­bo­lism and the main­ten­an­ce of important bodily func­tions. They promote growth, fer­ti­li­ty and the vita­li­ty of animals at all life stages. With our high-quality raw mate­ri­als, you can ensure that your recipes relia­bly meet the phy­sio­lo­gi­cal requi­re­ments while also being opti­mal­ly pro­cessa­ble from a tech­no­lo­gi­cal stand­point – for healthy animals and satis­fied pet owners.
