Specialty Animal Nutrition

Miscanthus provides a renewable source of functional fiber for animal nutrition products. Companies such as Balchem use advanced processing and spray-drying technologies to incorporate biomass-derived ingredients into value-added feed and animal health applications.

Pet Treats

Miscanthus-based pet treats provide clean-label, non-GMO fiber for gut health. They deliver prebiotic and digestive benefits often found in multi-benefit supplements.

Dog Food

Dog food formulations using miscanthus fiber improve stool consistency and digestibility. The ingredient supports growing demand for natural, sustainable functional fibers.

Animal Bedding

Highly absorbent, low-dust miscanthus bedding for pets, poultry, and livestock. With the U.S. poultry sector using 2.9M+ tons annually, miscanthus offers a scalable, sustainable alternative.

Bio-Barrels

Bio-based livestock feed barrels designed to replace steel or plastic in livestock feeding systems. Renewable fiber containers naturally biodegrade as livestock consume the supplement.

Cat Food

Miscanthus fiber supports digestive regularity and stool quality in cats by providing a natural, functional fiber source. Research and commercial formulations show benefits similar to those marketed in high-fiber digestive products.
