Fortaïn - Haemoglobin for dogs and cats - Animal proteins for more vitality

Animal proteins are a vital nutrient in dog and cat food, providing them with essential amino acids as well as nitrogen.

Fortaïn is the pure dry substance of the red blood pigment haemoglobin from pigs. The organic substances of the haemoglobin powder are spray-dried in a gentle process. They consist almost exclusively of raw proteins and valuable iron, the so-called haem iron. The latter is significantly better utilised than non-haem iron.

• Due to its high digestibility, it is optimally utilised by dogs and cats, as it contains an excellent protein structure of essential amino acids.
• Ensures the actual "carnivore factor". This is missing in ready-to-eat foods, as they are usually based on simple, predominantly vegetable protein.
• Plays an important role in muscle development and growth for puppies and kittens.
• It has proven to be a valuable nutritional basis for strengthening.
• Also ideally suited for older or sick dogs and cats.
• During pregnancy, it contributes to a positive development of the foetuses as well as their growth.

For vitality and optimal body condition

Adult dogs and cats have a continuous need for protein to replace nitrogen losses and for the formation of skin, hair and claws.

Animal protein helps older dogs fight infections and other stresses. Vitality and optimal body condition are maintained.

Feeding too little animal protein impairs coat growth and makes it look dull and lacklustre. Long-haired dogs in particular need larger amounts of high-quality protein at the time of the coat change.

With regard to Aujeszky Virus, we would like to assure you of the following:

The haemoglobin we place on the market is subject to the monitoring required in food and feed production at the slaughterhouses.

The responsible official veterinarian certifies that the product is made exclusively from raw materials that come from animals slaughtered in EC-approved slaughterhouses under veterinary control.

The blood has been dried at an inlet temperature of at least 280 °C for a period of at least 30 seconds (spray drying method) and an outlet temperature of at least 80 °C. At approx. 60 °C the virus is demonstrably killed.

The production of the haemoglobin powder was carried out under food-hygienic conditions.
