If we simulate a situation where the entire diet is made up of only bread, beef and milk, the picture of such a daily diet will not please anyone and will bring little benefit to the body. In such cases, the body will not receive certain nutrients that it needs in a certain amount. After all, such a diet will quickly become tired and seem boring, and will adversely affect the state of health. And if you think about it, the majority of pets have this kind of nutrition every day.
Wild predators every day receive a diet filled with all sorts of elements, such as protein of different nature, both animal and plant origin. They eat a variety of foods every day: meat of birds and mice caught in the street, fish caught in the river, eggs of looted nests. In the case of domestic dogs and cats, food consists exclusively of putting their favorite owners in a bowl. Most people make it easier for them to feed their pets the food that is available in stores. Therefore, it is very important to find the most acceptable compromise between complete nutrition and home feeding.
The best way to achieve this goal is to use artificial fodder, which is created on the basis of full biological similarity to natural nutritious food. The essence of such nutrition is that the dry and jelly-like finished food includes all the substances that are used in the food of predators in natural conditions of life in nature. The main focus is on protein components, with a percentage of about 80%. In particular, forage is used:
- the meat of animals raised in free and natural living in nature;
- fish caught from natural lakes and rivers.
These two products are based on pet food. It is worth noting that it is fish that contains a large amount of nutrients that are so necessary for cats: vitamins of many groups, minerals of various types, omega-3 fatty acids. While low-cost foods include omega-3 fatty acids, which are of vegetable origin. They are not well assimilated by the body of cats and dogs and are not as useful to the body as those that are part of the fish. Canadian experts have begun to solve this issue on the other hand. In the production of feed, they have included more than one type of fish in their composition. All fish used in feed production are caught in clean lakes on Vancouver Island. These feeds contain the following fish species:
- Salmon;
- Trout caught in natural waters;
- whitefish;
- river or lake pike-perch;
- herring.
Use of such variants of fish meat gives weight of advantages both for owners and for their pets:
- Fish in ready-made foods fully reproduces all its nutritional and energy properties;
- The taste characteristics of such a product are much higher than the frozen fish offal, which sometimes lie on the shelves;
- The quality of the fish that has been caught outdoors is much higher than that of the artificially grown fish, because of the good pi variety of nutrition in natural conditions.
But there is a substantial "but". If the storage conditions in the structure of fish meat cells are not met, significant irreversible changes occur, which affect the quality of the finished product. Only a short time after catching it can spoil if you do not follow the rules of storage and transportation. To prevent this from happening, the speed of delivery to the place where the raw materials are produced is of great importance. This is the reason why Canadian fish processing is located in the same part of the country where the fish is caught, in order to simplify the transportation and storage process. This location makes it easy for pet food plants to use fresh fish that has not been pre-frozen or preserved in the process.
Sometimes a cat and dog have a friendship as an alliance against the person who feeds them and prepares their food. But those pets who have caring and attentive owners have very different reasons for friendly alliances.
In conclusion, I would like to note that biologically appropriate artificial food is a variant of pet food, which is made exclusively from fresh, balanced products. Each component of such nutrition corresponds to the food that is used in its diet by relatives living in natural, natural conditions. In this case, in the finished feed, all components are contained in the most correct amount, as well as in the percentage ratio. Biologically appropriate types of food are never added products that are not used in the diet of this animal in natural living conditions.
