<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPlasma (blood plasma) is a nutrient-rich component of blood. When red blood cells and platelets are separated from whole blood, the remaining fraction consists of protein-rich compounds such as albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials), plasma is defined as the portion of blood separated from cellular material such as red and white blood cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plasma is naturally present in all meat. While plasma can be obtained from the blood of various animals, porcine and bovine plasma are the most commonly used sources in pet food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as carnivorous animals in nature consume muscle, bone, organs, and blood without waste, utilizing plasma in pet food contributes to sustainability by making full use of animal-derived resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plasma has exceptionally high nutritional value. It contains important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has been shown to contain higher levels of essential amino acids than certain other protein sources, such as skim milk powder (bovine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies in dogs indicate that incorporating plasma into pet diets may improve digestibility and reduce fecal output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plasma is rich in functional proteins, nucleotides, and antibodies, which contribute to its growing use in premium pet food formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certain plasma proteins are believed to have antimicrobial properties and may support immune function. Porcine plasma antibodies, in particular, have demonstrated antibacterial effects and are being explored as potential alternatives to antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research also suggests that plasma may play an important role in promoting optimal gut health. Adding plasma to pet food has been associated with reduced diarrhea, decreased intestinal inflammation, and improved digestive function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plasma proteins possess functional properties that contribute to the unique texture of wet pet food. Achieving the right texture is essential for enhancing palatability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proteins such as albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen form stable and cohesive structures during wet food processing. This allows manufacturers to create dense, uniform textures that are highly appealing to pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike thickening agents such as carrageenan, plasma not only improves texture but also delivers valuable nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared with ingredients such as wheat gluten, plasma has demonstrated superior water-binding capacity. This contributes to improved texture and mouthfeel, making plasma an ideal additive for premium pet food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, plasma significantly enhances palatability in both dogs and cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We support the development and OEM manufacturing of dog and cat food in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thailand is widely recognized as a major hub for pet food OEM production. As the market increasingly demands higher quality and greater product differentiation, Thai OEM factories are now able to incorporate innovative ingredients such as plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plasma offers high nutritional value and functional benefits. It improves texture, enhances palatability, and may support digestion and immune function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some of the advantages of manufacturing pet food in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Thai Pet Food Trade Association (TPFA), Thailand\u2019s pet food exports reached over 65 billion baht in 2021, representing a 27% year-on-year increase and ranking Thailand as the world\u2019s third-largest pet food exporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The top five export destinations are the United States, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, and Australia. Demand is also increasing in Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, and Laos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of July 2022, exports had already increased by 43% year-on-year, demonstrating continued growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Chanintr Chalisarapong, Chairman of TPFA, noted that Thailand\u2019s extensive experience in human-grade canned tuna production\u2014approximately 20% of the world\u2019s canned tuna is produced in Thailand\u2014has contributed significantly to the expansion of wet pet food manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Approximately 95% of raw materials used in Thai pet food production\u2014fresh meat, grains, and seafood\u2014are sourced locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thailand\u2019s diverse climate supports the production of a wide range of agricultural products, including grains, vegetables, and fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The country also has a strong livestock industry, providing access to fresh, high-quality meat, including human-grade options. In addition, Thailand\u2019s coastal location ensures abundant seafood resources suitable for pet food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thailand is known for its relatively competitive production costs compared to Japan and Western countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lower labor costs and strong local sourcing capabilities contribute to overall cost efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For companies planning to launch new pet food products, this cost advantage can help maintain competitive pricing while preserving product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGuaranteed Analysis<\/th> \uff08%\uff09<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Crude Protein (min)<\/td> 78%<\/td><\/tr> Ash (max)<\/td> 10%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Nutritional and Health Benefits of Plasma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
