A method for manufacturing an edible dog chew includes the steps of: extruding a first edible mixture through a mold having an opening in a first direction to form a lengthened chew interior material; cutting the lengthened chew interior material into defined lengths to form at least one cut chew interior material; drying the cut chew interior material to form a chew interior; and coating the chew interior with a second edible mixture different from the first edible mixture. Further methods and pet chews are also provided.

Disclosed herein are embodiments for the isolation of fiber and protein from brewers' spent grain. In some embodiments, the protein has a reduced fat content. In some embodiments, the protein has an improved Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score.

An edible pet chew includes a member of Bully Stick Analogue formed from a composition material may be with at least 20% plant ingredient imitating existing traditional bully stick products, serving as an alternative to it. The imitation may include the structure, and/or appearance, and/or shape, and/or size, and/or color, and/or texture, and/or flavor, and/or durability, and/or palatability of traditional bully stick. It is an extruded stick processed by an extruder or a stick formed by injection molding machine.

A process for producing a bio-inactive and shelf stable biomass matter derived from bioactive biomass feedstock includes processes that can be performed in an effective way with equipment that does not require large expenditures. The biomass feedstock may be dewatered and then stabilized to prevent degradation. The stabilized biomass may then be back blended with a dried back blending biomass having a water concentration of less than 10% and a particle size that produces back blended biomass that can be effectively processed by controlled agitation drying wherein the thickness is maintained at less than 100 mm while an airflow is formed over the back blended biomass and shear mechanical energy is imparted. The entire process may be performed in less than 12 hours to produce a shelf-stable dried biomass.
