Cargill Agri Purina Launches 'Health White Paper' Premium Feed and Snacks

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Cargill Agripurina announced on the 29th that it has launched six types of premium dog food and two types of snacks containing the necessary nutrition for companion dogs under the pet food brand Health White Paper.

The Cargill Nutrition specialist team introduced six types of dog food with high demand among Korean consumers based on functional, age, and breed trend analysis, along with a new concept of whole meat snacks considering taste, health, and functionality simultaneously.

The functional foods consist of four types: Sensitive, Immune Care, Post-Neutering Care, and Vitality. It is characterized by expanding the range of choices tailored to companion dogs with various health concerns. Sensitive contains borage oil rich in gamma-linolenic acid, which can help manage inflammation and allergies. Immune Care applies postbiotics XPC yeast culture developed with Cargill technology to support immune management. The Post-Neutering Care product includes highly digestible hydrolyzed chicken and a urinary stone care formula for dogs prone to weight gain after neutering surgery. Additionally, Vitality is designed with ginseng and turmeric, so saponin and curcumin components can help restore the energy of companion dogs.

A new Senior 10+ line for elderly dogs has also been added. It contains phosphatidylserine to improve cognitive ability and concentration, as well as functional ingredients for joint care. A Bichon-specific product with a formulation specialized for joint health and coat care is also introduced.

The whole meat snacks, made with domestically sourced chicken, are offered in two types: diet support and immune support. Using a high-temperature retort method, the moist texture of the chicken is preserved, and L-carnitine and beta-glucan help manage both diet and immunity simultaneously.

A Cargill Health White Paper official said, "As the culture of considering companion animals as family members grows, premium products that satisfy diverse needs have become more important," adding, "Based on Cargill's nutrition expertise, we will newly present the Health White Paper and establish ourselves as a leader in pet food."
