1. Meat and its by-products.
Meat consists of animal muscles, intermuscular fat, muscle sheaths, tendons and blood vessels. Meat is a good source of iron and some B vitamins, especially niacin, B1, B2 and B12. With this kind of food feeding edge dog, palatability is good, high digestibility, rapid use.
The lean meat composition of pigs, cattle, lambs, meat calves, chickens and rabbits is very similar, especially moisture and protein. The difference is mainly reflected in the change of fat, moisture content is 70%-76%, protein content is 22%-25%, fat content is 2%-9%. The fat content of poultry, meat calves and rabbits is 2%-5%. Lambs and pigs contain between 7% and 9% by weight.
Meat by-products, regardless of animal origin, are generally similar in nutrient content, containing more water and less protein and fat than lean meat. Meat contains no carbohydrates because energy is stored in fat rather than sugar and starch.
Protein in meat and meat by-products have high nutritional value, calcium content in all meat is very low, calcium, phosphorus ratio has changed greatly, calcium, phosphorus ratio is 1:10 to 1:20, lack of vitamin A, vitamin D and iodine.
Therefore, meat is the most important in the daily dog food of the edge shepherd. We must make the edge shepherd eat certain animal muscles every day.
2. The fish.
Fish are generally divided into fat fish and protein fish. Protein fish, including cod, plaice, plaice, and halibut, usually contain less than 2% fat; Fatty fish: herring, mackerel, sardines, small eels, goldfish, eels and so on, the fat content is higher, up to 5%-20%.
Protein fish protein and lean meat composition is the same, but rich in iodine; Fatty fish are rich in fat-soluble vitamins.
Fish is not as palatable as meat, and in general, dogs don’t like fish as much as meat. And when eating fish, you must be careful not to be pricked by the meat spines. (Related recommendation: five points for attention in feeding side shepherd puppies).
3. Dairy products.
Dairy is also very important to side farmers. Generally speaking, dairy products include cream, skim milk, whey, yogurt, cheese and butter. Milk contains most of the nutrients needed for a border dog, but is deficient in iron and vitamin D.
Milk contains 271.7 kj of energy, 3.4 g of protein, 3.9 g of fat, 4.7 g of lactose, 0.12 g of calcium and 0.1 g of phosphorus per 100 g milk.
Milk on the side of the palatability of dogs is better, in general, no matter what kind of dog, are more like to drink milk.
4. Eggs.
Eggs are A good source of protein, iron, vitamins B2, B12, folic acid, and vitamins A and D, but lack niacin. Therefore, eggs should not be regarded as the staple food of the side shepherd, but can only be used as a beneficial supplement in the dog food of the side shepherd.
