AI Technical Summary
Existing pet food compositions lack sufficient omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, and often contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, leading to excessive inflammation and immune responses, while processing marine oils to increase omega-3 content is costly.
Incorporating Southern Ocean mackerel oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids like ETA, EPA, and DHA, with a balanced omega-6 content, into pet food compositions, along with preservatives, to provide therapeutic benefits for various health conditions.
The compositions effectively treat or prevent inflammatory conditions and other health issues in animals by providing a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, reducing inflammation, and offering cost-effective health benefits.
