BHJ A/S digest are the proud producer of palatants to the petfood industry. Palatants are food acceptance improvers and have the purpose to make dry pet food more appealing towards the pet by having a great smell. In BHJ we mainly produce digest from chicken viscera, but also many other raw materials depending on the costumer’s demands.
