Explore our high-protein, single-ingredient freeze-dried raw materials and completed products for global wholesale.
Review our whitepaper segments below to explore how our manufacturing processes align with global pet brand specifications.
The global pet food sector is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. Consumer preferences are aligning with clean-label, minimally processed, and biologically appropriate nutrition profiles. Known as ancestral feeding behaviors, pet owners are seeking products rich in organ meats to mimic historical carnivore diets. Freeze-dried chicken liver is leading this market evolution.
Chicken liver serves as an nutritional powerhouse. It contains rich stores of highly bioavailable Iron, Copper, Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex (particularly B12), and essential fatty acids. The key technical challenge lies in preserving these delicate micronutrients and heat-sensitive enzymes during processing. Traditional high-heat dehydration methods degrade structural proteins and oxidize lipids, diminishing nutritional potency and palatability. Vacuum freeze-drying technology resolves this issue, sublimation-extracting water at sub-zero temperatures to preserve the raw ingredient's cellular structural integrity.
Operating a modernized freeze-drying manufacturing ecosystem designed for high volume, batch consistency, and global export compliance.
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., based in Rizhao, Shandong Province, is positioned within one of China's premier poultry production and deep-processing corridors. This local supply chain integration allows us to secure fresh, human-grade raw chicken liver within a minimal cold-chain transit radius. Raw materials are processed within hours of harvest to minimize microbial growth and preserve biological freshness.
Our facility houses 20+ specialized technical engineers and maintains six advanced computer-controlled vacuum chambers. We specialize exclusively in OEM/ODM production. By not operating a house brand, we protect the market interests of our global partners, avoiding conflict of interest and focusing solely on manufacturing excellence.
A technical look at how we lock in trace vitamins, peptides, and natural aroma without synthetic preservatives.
By dropping chamber pressures down to triple-point vacuum thresholds and freezing material to temperatures below -35°C, we convert ice directly to vapor, bypassing the liquid phase to prevent cellular damage.
Our low-temperature method preserves heat-sensitive vitamins (A, B-Complex), organic iron, and peptides, ensuring the finished liver powder or granules match raw bio-potency profiles.
We target final product moisture levels below 3.0% with water activity (aw) < 0.6. This halts biological decay and prevents bacterial proliferation, extending shelf life naturally up to 18-24 months.
For B2B pet food buyers, compliance is critical. GAGA Pet Food operates under strict HACCP and ISO international standards. Our manufacturing processes are fully FDA registered and verified for export into high-barrier regulatory markets including the United States, South Korea, Japan, and the European Union.
Every single batch of raw chicken liver undergoes strict pathogen clearance protocols. We implement pre-freeze thermal lethality steps to eliminate risk of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli, while maintaining freeze-drying temperatures that preserve taste. All finished batches are quarantined until independent third-party laboratories confirm microbial clearance and verify compliance.
To support this, we maintain a complete batch trace-back system. From Shandong farm harvest to vacuum chamber log sheet and logistics delivery container, every transaction is documented and searchable, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain transparency.
Discover how our partners formulate, brand, and utilize freeze-dried chicken livers to capture market share across different consumer demographics.
Freeze-dried chicken liver is highly valued for its intense natural aroma and savory umami profile, making it a powerful natural training reward for dogs and cats.
Finely ground chicken liver powder and micro-granules serve as nutritional toppers, boosting palatability and nutrient density in daily meals.
From initial design and consultation to mass production and logistics, we guide your brand through each step of the process.
We work with you to define your target audience, shape specifications, packaging materials, and regulatory needs.
Our team designs specialized recipes, blending liver with ingredients like pumpkin, cat grass, or goat milk to meet your goals.
Leveraging our established network, we source premium pouches, airtight jars, or bulk shipping cartons to suit your brand.
We produce and ship sample prototypes within 10 days, refining texture, shape, and taste based on your feedback.
Approved designs go to our six automated freeze-drying lines, maintaining consistent batch conditions throughout.
Every run is tested for pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli) and verified for water activity, ensuring a safe, stable product.
Products are carefully packed in nitrogen-flushed bags, boxed, and loaded onto temperature-controlled cargo containers.
Our support continues post-delivery. We work with you on future updates, seasonal flavors, and line extensions.
As the industry advances, we continue to invest in our production technology. Our R&D team is developing automated temperature controls that dynamically adjust vacuum chamber parameters based on real-time sensory data. This maintains optimal sublimation levels, reducing energy consumption by 15% while improving nutrient retention.
We are also expanding our sustainable sourcing initiatives. We prioritize partnerships with environmentally certified agricultural producers in Shandong, reducing carbon footprints across our raw ingredient supply chain. Additionally, we are testing biodegradable and recyclable packaging structures to help our partners meet their environmental goals without compromising freshness or shelf life.
Find clear answers on lead times, safety protocols, customized shapes, and shipping requirements for our freeze-dried products.
For standard single-ingredient freeze-dried chicken livers, our minimum order quantity starts at 500 kg. For custom formulas containing multiple ingredients or specialized packaging designs, MOQs typically range from 1,000 kg to 2,000 kg depending on material requirements.
We use a dual-stage safety approach: raw ingredients undergo an initial thermal step to reduce baseline microbial counts before freezing, and are processed in a clean room after freeze-drying. Final batches are tested by independent labs before shipment.
Yes. Our extrusion and forming systems can shape chicken liver blends into animal figures, stars, hearts, rings, and custom shapes. This process works well for blended formulas containing fiber or goat milk.
Stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, our freeze-dried chicken liver products maintain a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Proper packaging, such as nitrogen-flushed or vacuum-sealed bags, helps prevent oxidation over time.
For standard recipes, we can deliver sample prototypes within 10 days. Complex custom formulas or specialized packaging sourcing may take between 15 and 30 days to finalize and prepare for evaluation.
Yes. All chicken liver, breast meat, and other raw ingredients are sourced from government-inspected farms that process human-grade poultry. This ensures fresh raw materials and strict biosecurity standards from the start.
