Palatability enhancing composition for animal feed {PALATABILITY ENHANCERS FOR FEED}

The present invention relates to a palatability enhancing composition for animal feed, and more specifically, to a palatability enhancing composition for animal feed that can significantly increase the palatability of the feed when added to animal feed.

Pets, especially dogs, are well cared for by their owners who provide them with appropriately selected food. These foods contain a typical nutritionally balanced diet for your pet, as well as supplements and treatments.

Just like humans, companion animals are drawn to foods they like and consume them more regularly and easily. According to various recent surveys, more than 60% of pets responded that they are picky eaters.

Conventionally, to relieve picky eating in pets, most people use the method of mixing snacks with food, but pets with health reasons, such as dermatitis or obesity, cannot use this method because snacks are limited. there is a problem.

Recently, palatability enhancers have been proposed, and a method of providing palatability enhancers mixed with feed is being used.

Most of these palatability enhancers contain synthetic flavoring agents such as sodium saccharin, which has the problem of dulling the animal's sense of smell and worsening picky eating due to its strong irritant properties.

In addition, the palatability enhancer is manufactured in the form of powder, powder, and wet cans by drying or processing raw materials such as dried pollack and meat, but it induces obesity due to high calories, has various nutritional restrictions, and is expensive. As a result, there was a problem of financial burden arising from daily wages.

1 is a photograph showing the results of Test Example 2 of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

It should be noted that the palatability enhancing composition for animal feed of the present invention improves the palatability of feed by adding it to animal feed and feeding it to animals, and can be used regardless of the type of feed.

In addition, in the present invention, animals include not only dogs and cats, but also other livestock such as pigs, cows, and chickens, and the subject is not limited.

The palatability enhancing composition of the present invention includes distilled extract of the raw material as an active ingredient, and the raw material includes beef, pork, chicken, duck meat, kangaroo meat, shark, salmon, lamb, quail, turkey, pollack, and tuna. It is characterized by being of one or more types.

The distilled extract is obtained by distilling and extracting only the aroma component from one or more raw materials of beef, pork, chicken, duck meat, kangaroo meat, shark, salmon, lamb, quail, turkey, pollack, and tuna, which are highly palatable to animals. It consists of more than 99% water and does not affect the health of animals.

That is, in the case of conventional palatability enhancers that are used by grinding or cutting dried raw materials, their supply was inevitably limited due to problems with various nutrients, calories, and cholesterol, but the distilled extract of the present invention contains more than 99% moisture. Therefore, there are no nutritional restrictions. In addition, conventional palatability enhancers manufactured from raw materials in the form of powder, powder, or wet cans were expensive, so there was an economic burden when administered daily, but the distilled extract has the advantage of not being an economic burden as its price is much lower than that of conventional palatability enhancers. there is.

The extraction method of the distillation extract is based on the conventional distillation extraction method, and the method is not limited. For example, it is sufficient to add the raw material and distilled water to the distillation extractor at a weight ratio of 1:1.5 to 2.5, extract the water-soluble fragrance component at a temperature of 110 to 125 ° C. without applying pressure, and then cool and liquefy it. At this time, it is natural to input the raw water into the distillation extractor in a state separated from the distilled water so that the raw water and the distilled water do not mix with each other. The reason for limiting the weight ratio and temperature of the raw material and distilled water in the present invention is to increase the extraction yield of water-soluble aroma components as well as to consider the degree of increase in animal preference. In other words, if the temperature is too high or too low, the animal's preference decreases.

The distilled extract extracted as described above consists of more than 99% water, and has an aroma measurement value similar to that of animal snacks, which can significantly increase the preference of the feed. This is because animals, especially dogs, rely heavily on their sense of smell rather than taste when choosing food. Since they have 9 times fewer taste cells and 20 times more olfactory cells than humans, they can increase the preference for food through olfactory stimulation. am.

Meanwhile, the palatability enhancing composition for animal feed of the present invention preferably further contains sea grape extract, mountain country chrysanthemum extract, or both as active ingredients.

This is because these extracts can improve the health of your pet's coat and relieve stress and inflammation without affecting the palatability of the food.

The extraction method of the sea grape extract and the sea chrysanthemum extract is preferably by distillation extraction, the same as the distillation extract of the raw material, and the specific conditions are the same as the distillation extract of the raw material.

Sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera) are seaweeds that live in Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. They have been mainly used as food in Okinawa. It is one of the five seaweed delicacies eaten by Okinawans and is also famous as a longevity food for Okinawa islanders. Sea grapes are an alkaline food and are a treasure trove of various minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber, alginic acid. They purify the blood, suppress the production of free radicals and lipid peroxides, help smooth excretion and bowel movements of waste products, and contain about 10% protein. It is known to exist.

Chrysanthemum boreale Makino is distributed in Korea, Japan, Manchuria, and China. It is a perennial herb that blooms yellow flowers in September and October. Since ancient times, it has been used as a medicinal material to treat carbuncles, fever, impetigo, eczema, etc. due to its effectiveness in clearing and detoxifying heat. The chemical components of linarin, luteolin, chrysanthemin, chrysanthema-xanthin, and coumarin are known.

However, when adding such sea grape extract and mountain chrysanthemum extract, the preference may decrease somewhat, so it is preferable to apply the distilled extract of the raw material to sea grapes and mountain chrysanthemum, that is, flowers of mountain chrysanthemum, and leave for 1 to 10 hours at room temperature. It is more preferable to leave it to stand and extract by distillation. This is because if this process is additionally performed, there is almost no decrease in preference.

At this time, it is sufficient to use 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of the distilled extract of the raw material based on 100 parts by weight of the extraction material.

In addition, the sea grape extract and the sea chrysanthemum extract are preferably included in the amount of 1 to 5 parts by weight of the sea grape extract and 1 to 5 parts by weight of the sea chrysanthemum extract, based on 100 parts by weight of the distilled extract of the raw material. If the content is too small, the effect is lost. This is because it is insignificant, and if it is excessive, preference may decrease.

Meanwhile, the palatability enhancing composition of the present invention is preferably provided in liquid or spray form. Through this, it can be added regardless of the type of feed, so it has the advantage of excellent ease of use and excellent price competitiveness.

In addition, since the palatability enhancing composition of the present invention consists of more than 99% water, there is no limit to the amount of use, and it is natural that it can be used in an amount of 1 to 500 mL per 1 kg of feed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through specific examples.
