ARKAT Nutrition is located in Southeast Arkansas and is one of the most diversified extruded dog food manufacturers in the United States. Our product mix includes commercial aqua-feeds, dog food , and cat food, equine diets, dairy supplements, even turtle feed for the endangered green back turtle. Each species specific formulation is based on science and not marketing expertise. Great formulation starts with an understanding of the nutritional requirements of the animal then incorporates base ingredients such as chicken meal or whole grain rice. Equally important to base ingredients is the right combination of vitamins, minerals or pre-biotic's. It is ARKAT Nutrition's requirement to thoroughly understand each animal's metabolic need so you can maximize the health, growth, performance or longevity of your commercial livestock or your best friend at home. Nutrition is not marketing, it is science.
ARKAT Nutrition got its start in the highly competitive aqua culture industry where formulations must be exact, and nutritional performance is the way to keep your customers happy. In other industries it is the marketing that keeps the customers happy, but not in the commercial feed industry. ARKAT Nutrition cut its teeth on nutritional performance and has taken that learning and expertise to other species such as dogs, cats, equine, cattle, and even a few deer.
Three key factors determine the health, performance, and longevity of any animal, 1) genetics, 2) environment, and 3) nutrition. The first two factors will determine the requirements of the formulation for each species in their particular life stage. Once an animal is born to this world there is nothing you can do about its genetics, however if you provide the right environment, and the most important nutrient (water) ARKAT Nutrition can do the rest by providing the best formulations in the industry today.
Some manufacturers have great formulas but not great nutrition because they fail to follow the first steps in making world class products. Step one is properly sourcing raw ingredients and insuring they are fresh and without any contaminates by thoroughly testing all ingredients before they enter the facility. How you process those ingredients will also add or deter from proper nutrition. And finally after that processing you must retest once again. So proper nutrition is not just a formula, it is a process.
At ARKAT Nutrition we are blessed with an abundant supply of raw ingredients and our facilities are in one of the highest producing agricultural regions in the world. When it comes to fresh, readily available ingredients, the Delta Region of Arkansas is where you want to be. As the ingredients are received at our facilities each ingredient is tested for a wide variety of nutrient performance characteristics before it is transferred to storage.
The ingredients are then processed into products that have been formulated by a nutritional PhD or veterinarian that has particular expertise for each species. The final formula is then processed in one of the most modern extrusion facilities in the United States. Before it leaves our manufacturing site it is once again retested for nutritional compliance and food safety.
