Feeding points
Nutrition should not be less
Nutrition is a matter necessary for maintaining life activities such as dog growth and development. It mainly refers to protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Protein is the main component of organic body, and it is also an indispensable nutrient in the feed. In organic life activities, protein is a nutrient that plays a decisive role. Animal protein contains amino acids wide and the nutritional ratio is appropriate. The protein nutritional value in plant -based feed is low. It is easy to feed dogs with plant feed for a long time, which can easily cause organic dysfunction, such as anemia, slow growth, decreased weight, and poor growth of hair. Therefore, the animal protein content in the diet accounts for 1/3 of the feed protein.
As a nutrient, fat can be dissolved in the body tissue and organs and insoluble in the water. The fat has many functions in the body, which is an important form of storage energy. Insufficient fats of dog diet will cause stagnation and breeding abnormality. Vitamin A, D, and E deficiency, dry skin, keratosis of the epidermis, and poor growth of hair.
Carbohydrates account for the largest proportion of dog diets, mainly including sugar, starch, and cellulose, which is an important source of thermal energy in the body. The amount of dogs on carbohydrates is affected by its operating amount. There are less fat and more carbohydrates. In summer, carbohydrates can replace fat to some extent.
Water is indispensable
Water is one of the necessary nutritional components of all tissues and organs of dog bodies. The most water content in the blood is more than 80%, the muscles are 72-78%, and the bones are 45%. With the age and nutritional conditions, the moisture containing changes are obvious. When you are young, you have a lot of moisture, and gradually decrease in the future. Lean -type dogs have a lot of moisture, while obesity type has less water content. Drinking water, feed water and metabolic water are the main sources of dog body water. Water is discharged through the kidney, skin, and pulmonary digestive tract.
Types of feed
The feed of dogs is divided into animal feed, plant feed, seasonings, additives and product materials. Animal feed is a staple food for dogs. Such as commonly used beef, milk, eggs, fish and livestock organs. Beef is best in meat. Botanical feeds are mainly rice, such as rice, millet, wheat, sorghum rice, corn, etc. There are also greens such as spinach and cabbage.
