Zusammenfassung: | The present invention concerns a method for producing a cat kibble having a density from about 350 to about 550 g/L, comprising at least the steps of: a) providing kibble ingredients comprising at least 2% of exogenous fat (% based on total weight of kibble ingredients), b) at least partially precooking said kibble ingredients in a preconditioner, wherein said ingredients have a residence time in said preconditioner of at least 2 minutes; c) extruding the at least partially precooked kibble ingredients in an extruder with a DSOR inferior to 350 mm2/metric ton of throughput, d) drying the kibble extrudate resulting from step c), thereby obtaining a kibble palatable to cats. The present invention also concerns a cat kibble obtainable by this method, as well as a method for increasing kibble intake of a cat. |
