Houdek, your partner for better pet food ingredients.
Houdek’s mission is to provide better ingredients for better food. This starts by sourcing the right raw materials, leads to better animal health, and results in sustainable environmental impact. Our pet food product, Protéger, is made using a natural fermentation process where the protein content and amino acid profile of plant-based proteins are improved, while anti-nutritional or allergenic components impeding development are removed. The non-GMO plant-based proteins used in the fermentation process can be traced to their source. The fermentation process significantly improves the digestibility and bioavailability of the vegetable’s nutrients. Protéger is easily extruded and presents itself with a neutral color, neutral odor, and neutral flavor for maximum versatility in pet food formulations. High bioavailability of nutrients and responsible sourcing from farmers using regenerative agriculture practices makes Protéger a unique, sustainable, and environmentally friendly pet food ingredient.
