Today most early-life nutrition milk flavors are modeled after cow's milk due to availability and cost. Recent research findings, however, point to the fact that the physiological mismatch between cow's milk and sow’s milk is substantial. To address this, academic researchers and commercial entities have begun shifting attention from cow milk analogs to formulations that more accurately mimic the olfactory and gustatory profile of sow’s milk—an approach supported by recent advances in sensory biology and patent-protected flavor technologies. … Download the paper to read more.
Did you know mimicking sow’s milk aroma Improves piglet feed Intake? [White Paper]
Sow’s milk contains not only different levels of macronutrients and bioactive peptides but also a distinct array of volatile compounds and olfactory cues that piglets are biologically primed to detect. Sponsored by HTBA HealthTech BioActives.
