Akela kibble is extruded with a Thermal Twin extruder using the lowest temperatures possible; producing more digestible foods without the nutrient degradation that can be seen at high-temperature processing. The extrusion and drying processes do not use very high temperatures – just over 90 degrees centigrade (the minimum for safety reasons) and under 180 degrees centigrade - lower than cooking a pizza! Allowing proteins to stay highly digestible and natural vitamins and minerals to survive the process to make premium quality food. More delicious ingredients are added after extrusion - for example, the vitamin levels stated in the nutritional additive section are added after cooking to guarantee minimum temperatures.
