Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the nutritive value and palatability of a pet food, by using a filament-forming protein as a main material, mixing the protein with subsidiary materials such as animal or vegetable fat or oil, starch, etc., and forming to a definite form. CONSTITUTION:The objective pet food is prepared by mixing (A) a filament- forming protein as a main raw materials with (B) subsidiary raw materials selected from animal or vegetable fat or oil, starch, cereals, seasonings, colorants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and forming or cutting the mixture to a ribbon having round edges. The pet food has excellent nutritive value and palatability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel vet food for dogs, cats, etc., and more particularly to a vet food that has particularly excellent palatability and is made mainly from proteins that form long fibers.

In recent years, reflecting the betting boom, various Vera 1-Fu 1-
is proposed. Bet food is for each person L Tetlife-1・゛, semi-upper chair 1-fu F-canned food,
Sausage food, as well as Toshita Snack Bet 1-Foot, which is used as a nutritious IL when you have a lack of appetite, as a bedtime reward, and as a snack. Snackbella 1-Food uses animal protein such as beef, horsemeat, chicken, and seafood as the main raw material, and combines other raw materials with the aim of increasing palatability.
They are shaped into sticks, sausages, sheets, etc., and then cut into 1'-shape shapes or into appropriate sizes for use as bed animals. However, conventional bed foods have advantages and disadvantages in terms of palatability and nutrition, and there are still problems such as the bed animals getting tired of eating them and vomiting if fed too much.

In view of the above circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research to solve these problems, and as a result, they have developed a fiber exporter. The present invention has been completed based on the finding that a pet food containing a protein having natural properties as a main ingredient significantly improves the palatability and texture of the animal.

That is, the present invention provides a fibrous animal food whose main ingredient is a protein having the property of forming long fibers.

As the protein having the property of forming long fibers used as the main raw material in the present invention, gluten, casein, etc. are suitable, and it is desirable to contain them in an amount of 30% by weight or more to form fibers.

Fiberization of these proteins is carried out by known methods such as spinning method, spreading/coagulation method, etc.
The spreading/coagulating method described in No. 16 and the like is advantageous compared to the spinning method in that the manufacturing process is simple and can be industrialized at low cost.

The auxiliary raw materials used in the present invention include animal and vegetable fats and oils, stagnant flour, grains, seasonings, colorants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and substances that are palatable to veterinary animals. It is possible to provide a bed food rich in palatability and texture.

The bed food of the present invention can be made from a long fiber sheet product as it is, or by forming or cutting it into ribbons of a certain width. However, if sharp corners are formed during forming or cutting, the cat may It causes vomiting in dogs and small dogs.

By splitting the animal food into squid-like fibers, the animal food of the present invention can not only surprisingly solve the problem of emesis, but also improve the palatability and ease of eating of animal animals. . The fiber division may be performed mechanically or manually. Separating the fibers into a sharp squid shape not only means cutting them into small pieces, but also prevents the formation of sharp corners, thereby miraculously improving emetic properties. The width and length of the ribbon-like shape and the squid-like shape may be appropriately determined depending on the size of the wrasse 1 animal. The animal food of the present invention can be seasoned with beef, squid, or other flavors as appropriate, depending on the preferences of the animal. The moisture content of the bed food of the present invention is preferably in the range of about 15% to 25% in order to provide good chewability and texture.

The animal food of the present invention has a flavor and physical properties similar to those of natural meats, seafood, etc., and since it is mainly made from fibrous protein, it is chewy and has a chewy texture, making it highly palatable to animal animals. It's large.

Furthermore, since the fibers can be divided into squid-like fibers, it is possible to improve the ease of eating and emesis. As mentioned above, the bed food of the present invention has nutritional properties, poor taste, and 12
11 Since it is rich in flavor and texture, it can also be used as an additive to other bed foods.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Example A gel-like feed containing raw gluten as the main ingredient and having the following dry matter composition was spread into a sheet, heated and coagulated to form a long fiber-like feed with a water content of approximately 2%. A sheet-like product was obtained, and a squid-shaped cat food which was further divided into fibers by a fiber splitting machine and a ribbon-shaped cat food which was cut into 3-inch widths were obtained.

323 Next, a palatability comparison test was conducted by feeding the above-mentioned squid-like cat food to cats using commercially available Okegawa snack food as a control example.

The test method was to measure the same amounts of two types of cat food into separate dishes, feed them to 10 cats, and compare the palatability based on the amount of food eaten.

The results are shown in Table 1, and the product of the present invention has a mass of 11Iv. Compared to the Okegawa snack food, the amount consumed was significantly higher, confirming its good palatability.

Table 1 In addition, a comparative test of the palatability of the squid-shaped cat food obtained as described in Section 2 and the ribbon-shaped cat food was conducted in the same manner as above.

The results are shown in Table 2. As is clear from Table 2,
The ribbon-shaped cat food of the present invention has better palatability than commercially available products, and the squid-shaped cat food has even better palatability.

$2 Table Example A gel-like feed containing raw gluten as the main ingredient and blended so that the dry matter composition of the product is as shown in F is spread into a sheet shape, heated and coagulated, and is made into a long-fiber material with a water content of approximately 20. % sheet-like material was made and further cut into a sheet dog food having a size of 5s+mXl0.
