Veramaris Pets, a new source of Omega-3 for petfood which provides twice as much EPA & DHA Omega-3 fatty acids compared to fish oil, has been launched by biotech Veramaris. Noteworthy in pet food, it offers a natural, rich and sustainable alternative to fish oil to help pets enjoy long, healthy and happy lives.
Veramaris’ natural marine algal oil is made from microalgae, which is particularly rich in essential EPA & DHA Omega-3.
Just a little drop of Omega-3 is what pets need every day. Veramaris provides pet food companies with a stable and sustainable way to enrich their products with nature’s richest Omega-3 and give pets the essential nutrition they need.
This latest development for Veramaris follows an extremely successful first 12 months establishing itself in the aquaculture market. The company is now expanding its portfolio, and its pioneering algal oil has been expertly refined to optimise the taste for pets. Veramaris Pets beats fish oil on taste, in tests where both oils were used as coating for dry dog and cat food.
Traditionally, Omega-3 has come from fish oil, but demand is outstripping supply, leading to unstable supply conditions and increased risks of overfishing. Veramaris’ algal oil expands the world’s access to Omega-3 and reduces dependence on wild catch fish. 1 kilogram of our natural algal oil replaces 60 kilograms of wild catch fish which would otherwise be used for fish oil in pet food formulations.
As well as coming from a guaranteed sustainable and natural source, pet food manufacturers will receive a consistent and reliable supply of algal oil. Invariably, Veramaris algal oil offers an EPA & DHA concentration exceeding 50 percent and is free from any ocean-borne contaminants.
Karim Kurmaly, CEO of Veramaris, said: “This is an important chapter in the story of our young company. I am delighted that our dedicated team has been able to take Veramaris Pets to the pet food market so soon. Just a small drop of this high-quality product will make a big difference to the health of companion animals, which is good news for ‘pet parents’ every day and everywhere. They can also be reassured in the knowledge that while improving their pet’s health they are also contributing to healthy oceans.”
