Innova EVO question

[opokki]

I have read several times that a certain amount of carbs/grains is neccessary for the extrusion process.....

Does anyone know or has anyone emailed Natura regarding how they are able to put so much meat and so few carbs in the food without "gumming up" the machinery during processing?

I just emailed them today but thought I'd ask in case anyone here knew.

They will reply quickly.

I've stickied something in the food forum on how it's processed but I don't think it includes that.

Interesting question

they have a proprietary manufacturing process, and i doubt they are going to tell you a whole lot about it, since they don't want to give away an industry secret.

i asked a natura rep about it at a dog event and i couldn't get much more out of him than "special equipment" and "kibble size" play a large role.

Thanks for your replies. Sage I did read your sticky and it was informative but you're right it did'nt contain the info. I was looking for. I have'nt received a response from Natura yet but hopefully soon.
Some people think that EVO MUST be full of plant proteins in order to get the protein that high. So, I have previously emailed Natura asking what percentage of protein in EVO is animal based and they responded that 99.6% of the protein in EVO is animal based. Now I just need to know how its done so I'm prepared when someone disputes that its not possible to get that much meat into an extruded kibble.

Mordy, I think you may be right.
