The Benefits of Adding Liver to Pet Feed

It is well known that animal liver is one of the additive ingredients of commercial Pet food, and it is also very difficult to collect, store and handle the liver.

The animal liver added to Pet food can be unprocessed, that is, cooled or frozen. It can be a dry powder after hydrolysis or a component of flavoring. Beef liver, pig liver and chicken liver are common Pet food raw materials; The professional manufacturer of Pet food will indicate the source of liver on the label of lamb liver, chicken liver, duck liver or goose liver; Fish livers and livers of other toxic species are generally not used for commercial Pet food processing.

1. When dogs and cats were still living in the wild, they made a living by hunting and ate whatever they caught. Therefore, they would eat all their prey, including their internal organs, eyes, tongue, glands, and even bones. So, animal offal itself has always been a part of pet food in pet recipes.

2. Animal liver is the main organ for metabolism and storage of nutrients in animals. It is rich in various nutrients such as protein, vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin D, B vitamins), and trace elements (such as iron and zinc).

B12 was found in the liver in the early treatment study of human "anemia". Vitamin B12 is very important for dogs and cats. B12 deficiency in dogs and cats is reflected in congenital defects and excessive growth of intestinal bacteria; In addition, the 1934 Nobel Prize in Medicine recognized the study of feeding raw liver to dogs with anemia.
