The sweet potato originates from the tropical regions of South and Central America. Sweet potato pellets are made from sun-dried sweet crisps. After storage, the chips are ground into flour – the final step is pelletisation. For many animal species, sweet potatoes in the form of pellets can be part of a health-promoting meal.

More and more pet food manufacturers are using sweet potatoes as a source of carbohydrates in their products, for example in treats and in some grain-free pellets for allergic animals. Thanks to their consistent shape and size, the pellets are easy to handle during production and significantly reduce dust formation. In addition, their slightly sweet flavour ensures improved food acceptance.

Sweet potato pellets offer a range of health benefits in animal nutrition. They are rich in important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre, which help to promote skin, coat, muscles and the immune system.
Easily digestible and with a low glycaemic index, they can be particularly beneficial for animals with sensitive stomachs or for the prevention of diabetes. The antioxidants they contain help to reduce cell damage and improve overall health. In addition, their slightly sweet flavour can contribute to improved feed acceptance.
In general, dry sweet potato pellets can be kept for several months (6 – 12) if stored properly in their original container in a cool, dry place out of sunlight. It is important to protect the pellets from moisture, as this can lead to mould growth. Make sure that the containers in which you store the pellets are tightly closed to keep out moisture.
As potatoes are generally a rare allergen in dogs and cats, sweet potatoes are becoming an increasingly popular, tasty and nutritious ingredient in hypoallergenic pet food.
Sweet potato pellets are an excellent alternative to cereals in pet food. They are rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and iron. These nutrients can help promote the health and well-being of pets.
Sweet potatoes are also easily digestible and may cause fewer digestive problems in dogs and cats than grains. In addition, sweet potatoes can help keep blood sugar levels more stable. They are a good option for dogs and cats with grain intolerances or allergies.
Sweet potatoes are grown in many regions of the world. They are mostly used for food.
However, there are also regions of the world that produce pellets or flour for the animal feed industry. The largest producer is China with a market share of > 80 % of global production. Thailand, Vietnam, Africa, but also the USA, Honduras and Peru are producers of sweet potatoes.
Sweet potato flour is also possible, but the origin must then be considered in context. We want to supply you with safe goods and in some regions it makes sense to carry out an additional process step to reduce microbiological influences.
