Description

The invention relates to a complete feed and a diet feed for animals, ins especially for dogs, cats and horses considering both the indi vidual food needs, as well as special physiological and / or ent developmental needs of an animal, especially to avoid itself healthy due to one-sided nutrition and especially vitamin deficiency uniform, developmental or performance-related disorders containing minerals, Vitamins, ballast carriers and additives.

Animals, especially dogs, but also cats and horses, for example, are related Their diet mostly depends entirely on their keeper because it's his job is to provide the animal with a nutritional composition that is appropriate to the animal to keep it healthy and vital and to prevent health problems due to unsuitable Protect nutrition. As is well known, one-sided, improper nutrition, especially in domestic and farm animals for loss of performance up to disease appearances.

Connective tissue structures of domestic and farm animals, such as B. tapes, Tendons, synovia, capsules, articular and auricular cartilage etc., for breeding and keeping reasons for negative changes.  

Due to disturbances in the biochemical balance of the basic substance of the bandage tissue and limitations of the mechanical resilience of the movement apparatus, triggered in particular by malnutrition of the connective tissue structure pain, destruction of parts of the tissue and eventually to osteoarthritis.

The optimal supply of connective tissue and ge is particularly important steering cartilage with glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, and omega3 fatty acid ren, especially in dog and cat puppies and young dogs and cats, Foals and young horses. It is precisely these that can provide clear indication of malnutrition pain and restricted movement. Against ge ensures an optimal interaction of natural substances close to the animal the best possible bioavailability. E.g. results in the optimal care a bitch, a cat or a mare in the third and last pregnancy period with essential vital substances a particularly good formation of bandage tissue structures of the fetuses.

A correct construction of the musculoskeletal system and optimal training of the Auricular cartilage in the growth phase in puppies, foals and young horses The and young dogs depend to a large extent on a balanced approach composition of the feed with the highest possible bioavailability.

This also results in a real improvement in the quality of life for older dogs the, cats and horses with existing connective tissue problems and is for their prophylaxis of crucial importance. This also applies to Er aiming for increased performance, for example during training, exhibition, hunting and competition.

DE 195 01 142 C2 discloses a feed for dogs with contents of tieri chemical and / or vegetable protein and with additives containing minerals  s, vitamins and, if necessary, ballast carriers. It is characterized that it is free of cereal products and in the dry matter 30 to 40 wt .-% Potato flour, 50 to 80% by weight meat meal, 10 to 30% by weight additives holds.

The prior art mentions DE-OS 24 17 423, in which a rehydration bares dry feed is described, consisting of a mixture of zer smaller meat-like materials and carbohydrate binders. The Ge Mix has a permeable structure and is a paste-like material rehydratable from a heterogeneous structure. For the production of the feed mix For example, white fish heads and middle bones are handled in an autoclave delt and then passed into a shredder. 46% of the crushed Materials are made with 10 parts of mashed potatoes, 10 parts of pork fat, 1 part Salt and 1 part colorant solution and 2 parts tomato puree mixed. In one In another example, whole herrings are treated in an autoclave and then through a crushing machine headed. 79% of the shredded herrings are with 9 parts of mashed potato powder, 10 parts of beef kidney fat, 2 parts of tomato paste, Colorant and enough water mixed to make a dry but pressed obtainable mixture, which is particularly suitable for cats and dogs should be.

The British patent 1,310,348, in which a dehydrated meat product is described, which consists of uncooked cer shredded meat and a dry, shredded and starchy vegetable material, such as dehydrated potato. The mixture will shaped and heated to coagulate the protein of the meat and to form a matrix that binds the plant material.

The binder is preferably a carbohydrate material, in particular potato porridge powder or potato flour.  

Starting from the aforementioned prior art, the object of the invention based, a complete feed and a diet feed for animals, in particular for dogs, cats and horses to specify which one as a complete feed sufficient coverage of individual nutritional needs as well as diet food serves a specified purpose and also an op timely supply of connective tissue and articular cartilage with building materials, especially in puppies, foals and young animals, or in the gestation period guaranteed by bitches, cats and mares and also in older animals maintains their performance and health, as well as through a cooperation natural substances enables high bioavailability.

The task is solved with a feed for domestic and farm animals mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 with the invention in that at Use of the feed as complete feed for pets, especially for Dogs and cats that are selected from a mixture of additives Natural products such as vegetable ingredients, vegetable oils, fish meal, meat meal, Bone substance and yeast with the addition of 0.1 to 30% by weight of mussel meat or mussel extract.

Another solution to the problem is that when using the feed by means of the additives as complete feed for farm animals, especially horses are selected from a mixture of natural products such as cereals (partly ther mixed treatment), alfalfa green flour, flax extraction meal, sugar beet molasses, Vitamins and trace elements, with the addition of 0.1 to 30% by weight of mussel meat from Perna Canaliculus.

When using the feed as a diet feed for dogs, cats and Horses the solution of the invention is that the additives are selected are made from a mixture of natural products such as malt extract, gelatin, Seeal GM flour, silica, herbs as well as vitamins and minerals, with the addition of  0.1 to 95% by weight of clam meat from Perna Canaliculus, and 0.1 to 95% by weight % Chondroitin sulfate and 0.1 to 95% by weight glucosamine. In individual cases they can additives mentioned up to 98% by weight.

The optimal composition and the resulting interaction of the natural substances guarantees the highest possible bioavailability and thus ensures, for example.

• - the optimal care of a bitch, cat or mare in the third and last pregnancy period with essential vital substances, as well as a very good one Formation of connective tissue structures of the fetuses;
• - the correct structure of the musculoskeletal system and optimal training the auricular cartilage in the growth phase in foals, puppies and Young dogs, which makes the ears stable in breeds such as B. Shepherd dogs, bull terriers are favored;
• - a real improvement in the quality of life, especially among older dogs those, cats and horses with existing connective tissue problems or a prophylaxis against connective tissue problems;
• - Increased performance, for example in training, exhibition, hunting and Competition.

The proportion of complete feed for dogs, horses and cats Cultivated mussel extract for supplying the connective tissue and the joint cartilage with omega3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, as well Heparin and heparan sulfate.

The high proportion of dietary feed for dogs, horses and cats ensures Cultivated mussel extract for supplying the connective tissue and the joint cartilage with omega3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, as well  Heparin and heparan sulfate, however, an additional higher proportion has an effect of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate to improve exercise ap ready (glycosamine and chondroitin sulfate are found in a few complete feeds Contained in very small quantities for dogs and horses, but they are not in To find diet feed).

An embodiment of the feed provides that the mussel meat alone feed from the Australian and New Zealand mussel species of Per na Canaliculus exists.

Another embodiment provides that the mussel meat in the diet feed from the Australian and New Zealand mussel species of the Perna Canali culus exists.

Another embodiment provides that the mussel meat in the diet feed from the Australian and New Zealand mussel species of the Perna Canali culus exists and glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are added, these Both components come from animal or vegetable protein.

And finally, the feed according to the invention is characterized in that that it is the choice and amount (% by weight) of its components Age and weight as well as general physical condition, in particular is adapted to the health of a dog, horse or cat.
