Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a pet food having sufficient nutrition control, hardly discharging stool by constituting essential nutrients such as protein, lipid and mineral from a component nutritive agent hardly requiring digestion, having low residue and ready absorption and blending the essential nutrients with a palatability improving substance. CONSTITUTION:In a feed for pets, essential nutrients such as protein, lipid, glucide, calcium, iron, sodium phosphorus, potassium and other minerals and vitamins are constituted from a component nutritive agent hardly requiring digestion, having low residue and ready absorption and blended with a palatability improving substance to give the objective pet food.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to pet food.

[Conventional technology and its technical issues]

Dogs and cats have the ability to get used to humans, and are kept as pets for a variety of reasons, such as for crime prevention, as part of children's emotional education, and as a means to relieve loneliness.

When keeping such pet animals, the most important issue is the relationship between food and excretion. Various pet foods have been developed so that they can be easily fed as food, but since dogs and cats are carnivorous animals by nature, conventional pet foods are made with by-products of land animals or aquatic animals. Generally, the main ingredient is processed waste, or it is mixed with grains, vegetable fiber, fishmeal and bone meal, and then heated or molded and dried. Protein: 10-32%, Crude fat: 5-13%, Crude fiber: 0.3-32%
5%, crude ash 2-10%, crude protein 22% for cats
~33%, crude fat 2-10%, crude fiber 1-10%, and crude ash 2-10% were common.

For this reason, pets excrete large amounts of feces day and night, staining tatami mats, floors, etc., and are bothered by bad odors.Even when taking them for walks, etc., they have to carry feces disposal tools such as scoops every time they dispose of the waste. This is extremely troublesome, and since it is discharged together with general garbage, it is difficult to dispose of it at incinerators. To counter this problem, deodorizers, special toilet bowls, pet litter, and fecal disposal devices have been developed, but none of them have been a fundamental solution.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a novel pet food that contains all the nutrients necessary for animals and produces almost no feces. It's about doing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides proteins, lipids,
Contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, calcium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, and other minerals and vitamins in a low-residue, easily absorbable nutritional supplement that requires little digestion, and also contains palatability-enhancing substances. It is solidified in the form of a paste, gel, pellet, or powder.

The present invention can be used as food for dogs and cats as well as various pet animals such as raccoon dogs, foxes, and bears.

The present invention will be specifically explained below.

First, as protein, at least two of the following components are required.
More than one species is used. Lysine hydrochloride, r,-glutamine,
L-phenylalanine, ■7-serine, L-isoleucine, ■, -leucine, L-methionine, L-threonine, L-tridi1-fan, L-valine, L-histidine hydrochloride, L-arginine hydrochloride, L-asparagine Magnesium/potassium acid, sodium L-aspartate, aminoacetic acid, L-proline, L-tyrosine.

Fats include soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil,
Vegetable oils and fats such as rapeseed oil, palm oil, and coconut oil are preferred, but marine animal oils and terrestrial animal oils may also be used in combination.

As the carbohydrate, glucose, for example, dextrin, glucose, oligosaccharide, or similar substances are used.

As calcium, calcium glycerophosphate and carnium lactate are used.

Typical examples of the iron content are iron gluconate, ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and iron organic acids; typical examples of the sodium to sodium content are sodium citrate; and representative examples of the potassium content are potassium chloride.

Other minerals include zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate,
One or more of copper sulfate, sulfate or carbonate, potassium iodide or calcium iodate, sodium boravine phosphate, etc. are preferred.

The following types of vitamins are used: That is, as vitamin A, retinol acetate, vitamin oil, as vitamin D, calciferol, etc. Vitamin B and vitamin B2 complexes include thiamine hydrochloride, sodium riboflavin phosphate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, dianocobalamin, calcium pantothenate, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, folic acid, choline hydrochloride, cobamamide, hydroxycobalamin, biotin, inositol, etc. It is. In addition, ascorbic acid as vitamin C,
Vitamin E includes tocopherol acetate, and vitamins include phytonadione.

The present invention adds flavoring agents such as meat juice, fish juice, or a sweetener such as sodium saccharin to these foods to enhance the pet's taste. If necessary, add a fungicide such as sodium propionate, an antioxidant such as ethoxyquin, and mix to form a paste or gel.
Or it can be solidified.

[For production]

The present invention does not use animal protein or fat like conventional pet foods as essential nutrients, and is composed of a low-residue, easily absorbable nutritional ingredient that requires almost no digestion. Because it contains taste-enhancing substances such as fish juice, it is easy to handle and is no different from conventional Pella 1 food, and even if your pet eats it, it will be absorbed by the pet's body with almost no digestion required. Therefore, the amount of stool is reduced to about 95% or less of the conventional amount. Therefore, there is no need for troublesome fecal disposal, making it much easier to keep pets.

Got the hood.

I used the above pet food for a 3 year old, weight 9kg, body length 60cm.
A small dog (80 g) was given twice in the morning and evening for 10 consecutive days, and the state of fecal production was observed. As a result, the animals produced only about 5 g of feces in 10 days, their weight remained at 9 kg, their appetite was strong, their locomotor behavior was active, and their fur was glossy.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention as described above, since component nutrients that hardly require digestion are used, this alone is sufficient for pet nutritional management, and moreover, almost no feces is excreted. This eliminates the need for troublesome cleanup after stool, and there is no need to worry about staining the house or garden or causing a bad odor.

Therefore, it is possible to travel with a pet, and the pet can be transported in a clean state, which is an excellent effect.
