Oat Flour

Your Trusted Wholesale Oat Flour Supplier for the Pet Food Industry

As a leading bulk oat flour supplier for the pet food industry, North Central Companies provides high-quality, consistent ingredients that meet the growing demand for grain-inclusive and limited-ingredient pet diets. Our pet food grade oat flour is trusted by manufacturers for its nutritional value, functionality, and versatility in a wide range of dry and wet pet food formulations.

Nutritional Benefits of Oat Flour in Pet Food

Oat flour is prized for its natural beta-glucan soluble fiber, which supports digestive health and helps pets feel satisfied longer. This fiber also contributes to improved stool quality and digestive regularity—key performance indicators in high-quality formulations. Oats are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and complex carbohydrates, offering sustained energy release without the sharp spikes associated with simple grains.

For pets with sensitivities to corn or wheat, oat flour provides a well-tolerated alternative that enhances both nutrition and palatability. When used in grain-inclusive or limited-ingredient formulas, it helps create balanced, nutrient-dense products that appeal to health-conscious pet owners.

Functional Advantages for Manufacturers

Beyond nutrition, pet food-grade oat flour delivers excellent water-binding capacity and viscosity, improving dough structure, binding, and expansion during extrusion. Its natural binder properties enhance product integrity in kibble, treats, and baked applications, helping maintain consistent texture and shape.

Manufacturers appreciate the predictable particle size distribution (PSD) of our oat flour, available in fine or medium mesh options to suit specific production needs. With consistent moisture percentage, micro specifications, and stabilized (heat-treated) flour, our products deliver reliability from batch to batch—essential for large-scale production.

Ingredient Quality You Can Depend On

At North Central Companies, quality assurance and transparency are built into every order. We provide a spec sheet and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for every shipment, ensuring our customers know exactly what they’re receiving. If your formulation requires purity protocol gluten-free oats, we can source and supply to meet those specifications.
