Ingredients

Specialty ingredients, sourced and delivered

We source, import, warehouse, and deliver a focused line of specialty ingredients for pet food and animal nutrition, held in U.S. warehouses and ready to ship, plus SALMATE®, our own proprietary omega-3.

How We Supply

Sourced globally, delivered domestic

We handle the sourcing, importing, and warehousing, so your formulators get consistent specialty ingredients without managing the complexity.

Sourced globally

Direct relationships with established producers, chosen for consistency and quality.

Imported for you

We handle customs, logistics, and compliance, with documentation behind every shipment.

Warehoused in the U.S.

Stock held in U.S. warehouses keeps lead-times short and supply steady.

Delivered domestic

You order domestically, without the import complexity. Fewer hands, fewer surprises.

What We Supply

A curated line, not a catalog

We carry a focused range of specialty ingredients we can stand behind. The categories below show where we concentrate; the examples are representative, not a full list.

Fruit, vegetable & botanical powders

Nutrient-dense plant powders for clean-label and functional pet-food and feed formulations, the core of what we supply.

For example: kale, spinach, ginger, turmeric.

Joint & functional ingredients

Established ingredients formulated to support joint and mobility in companion-animal nutrition.

For example: glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin.

Omega-3 & specialty powders

Spray-dried and specialty powders, including our own proprietary omega-3.

For example: SALMATE® omega-3, refined fish oil, coconut oil powder.

Who We Serve

Built for pet food, supplied to feed

Most of what we supply goes into pet food, with selected ingredients serving animal and livestock nutrition. We work with the people who formulate and manufacture, not consumers.

Spray-dried omega-3 powder
Our Own Ingredient

SALMATE®, the omega-3 we developed

Alongside the ingredients we source, SALMATE® is our own, a proprietary spray-dried omega-3 (EPA and DHA) powder, made to our specification for stable, consistent performance across species.

Why Ballard

A focused line, and the people who source it

We carry a small, carefully chosen range, each ingredient one we would stake our name on. Because we are family-owned, you get fast decisions, personal service, and direct access to the people who actually source your supply, not a call center.
