The Pet Food Digital Summit 2024 explores various facets of the pet food industry, placing particular emphasis on the microbiome, sustainable sourcing practices, premium product categories, and potential safety risks.

Antioxidants and ingredients supporting digestion and immunity in pets drive 60% of market demand. Recognising this, ingredient suppliers actively research companion animal gut health, aiming to fill gaps in microbiota science.

The upcoming FeedNavigator Pet Food Digital Summit will highlight these crucial topics, exploring the role of the microbiome in advancing personalised pet nutrition and health.
