We are a proud supporter of the Petfood Forum, and are excited to announce that we are making 2026 exhibit spectacular! We invite you to our booth 1307 to share three new innovative solutions to elevate pet health!
On Tuesday April 28 at 1:30 p.m., make sure you catch our Calming canines naturally: a gut-brain axis approach using a Lactobacillus postbiotic talk! We will share new research on our new postbiotic solution designed to reduce anxiety-related behaviors in dogs. We will cover the science behind its benefits, formulation potential and market relevance.
Of course, we will still have members of our pet food team in the booth and available to talk about our state-of-the-art pet-dedicated premix facility in Kansas (NA) and new ingredient innovations for omega-3, microbiome and taste!
After the special talk on the new research, we invite you back to our booth to enjoy a nice cool craft beer and salty snacks from 3:30-5:30 p.m. This Happy Hour is not one to miss, and our team looks forward to seeing you there!

Research on a dual Lactobacillus postbiotic designed to reduce anxiety-related behaviors in digs through gut-brain axis modulation. The ingredient, composed of heat-inactivated bacterial cells and fermentation metabolites from two proprietary microorganisms, contains GABA, a neurotransmitter associated with calming effects. Citing controlled studies, Jeff Alix and Erik Eckhardt cover the science behind its benefits, formulation potential and market relevance as a natural calming solution.
