<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOEM dog food manufacturing in New Zealand allows the use of unique local ingredients such as green-lipped mussel, which supports immune health, as well as manuka honey and kiwifruit. In addition, manufacturers can develop dog food products with the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Use of cage-free New Zealand chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- High protein content of 40% or more<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- No use of artificial growth hormones or antibiotics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Below, we introduce the key features of New Zealand\u2019s manufacturing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pasture-Based Livestock Farming in New Zealand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
New Zealand is known for its vast grasslands, clean air, and lush natural environment. The country is globally recognized for fresh livestock products and a diverse, innovative food culture. As a leader in sheep and cattle farming, New Zealand also produces a wide range of high-quality dairy products, including cheese and ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Zealand offers many premium agricultural products, such as manuka honey, avocado oil, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. These high-quality ingredients contribute significantly to the global production of premium food and beverage products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This strong reputation extends beyond human food and also supports the development of super-premium pet food manufactured in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to advanced pasture-based livestock farming practices carried out on expansive farmland, New Zealand has not experienced BSE (commonly known as mad cow disease), a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system of cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of top-quality raw materials and strict regulatory requirements for pet food manufacturing demonstrates that New Zealand has established a benchmark for producing super-premium pet food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A unique combination of environmental conditions found in New Zealand\u2014including a mild climate, high rainfall, low population density, clean water, and fertile pastureland\u2014helps produce ingredients with exceptional freshness and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, New Zealand\u2019s animal welfare laws and pasture-based farming systems require cattle, sheep, and deer to be raised in natural environments. Animals are not confined to crowded facilities and generally do not require routine antibiotic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pasture-raised livestock also do not consume artificial hormones, grain-based feed, or other man-made additives. Research shows that meat from pasture-fed cattle contains 30\u201340% more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is associated with anti-cancer properties and weight management benefits, compared with meat from grain-fed cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free-range chicken is also known to be lower in fat and calories, while eggs from free-range systems tend to contain less fat, higher levels of vitamin A, and increased omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food safety is one of the highest priorities in New Zealand. To achieve a high level of food safety, strict measures are implemented to prevent pathogens from entering livestock and crops, to control disease outbreaks, and to ensure thorough management of animal behavior and feeding practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Zealand is recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as a country free from major animal diseases and maintains a high level of food traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food traceability refers to the ability to track raw materials back to their original suppliers. This not only ensures food safety but also helps prevent the widespread distribution of contaminated products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet food manufacturers in New Zealand must comply with two strict government regulations: the ACVM Act and the Animal Products Act (APA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the ACVM Act, enacted in 1996, agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines are regulated, including their registration, monitoring of imported products, and control over manufacturing, sale, and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Animal Products Act, introduced in 1999, establishes a risk management system that requires all pet food products to be \u201cfit for intended purpose\u201d by meeting New Zealand\u2019s animal product standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These strict legal frameworks ensure that only carefully selected manufacturers can produce pet food under hygienic conditions, achieving high food safety standards while using nutritionally rich ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
