This invention relates to a soft-moist animal diet feed having 15 to 18% water, 5 to 15% fat, 36 to 51% carbohydrates and 16 to 26% protein in which the following amino acids are present in the following amounts as expressed in parts by weight:-

Description

- ` -10~535 The present invention is an improvement in or modification of the invention disclosed in our copending Canadian Patent application Serial No. 143,541 filed May 31, 1972.
In our previously filed Canadian Patent Application we have described a soft-moist nutritional animal diet feed which comprises 3 to 20 % fat; 20 to 45 % carbohydrates; 10 to 25 % water; 5 to 35 % of protein in wh:ich the ratio of animal :~
protein to plant prote~n is from 3:5 to 5:~ and in~which the following amino acids are present in the following amounts as expressed in parts by ~eight: ~ :
isoleucine 3.5 to 6.5 -:::
leucine 6.5 to q Yaline 4.5 to 6.5 methionine 2.3 to 4 c~stine 0.5 to 3 phenylalanine 3 to 7.5 tyrosine 3 to 5 ` -threonine 2.5 to 5.5 tryptophane Q.6 to 1.5 lysine 3.5 to ~
hi:stidine 1.5 to 3.5 arginine 3.5 to 7.
According to the present invention there is provided a soft-moist animal diet feed suita~le for feeding to domestic animals ad libitum having 15 to 18 % water~ 5 to 15 % fat, 36 to 51 % carbohydrates and 16 to 26 % protein in which the following amino aclds are present in the following amounts as expressed in parts by weight:-isoleucine 4.2 to 4.5 leucine 7.8 to 9.5 .

`" ~Q68535 v~line 4.5 to 4.9 methionine 2.~ to 3 cystine 1.4.to 1.8 phenyalanine 5.Q.to 5.3 tyrosine 3.9 to 4.1 .
threonine 3.9 to 4.1 tryptophane 0.8 to 1.1 histidine 2.5 to 2.8 lysine 6.Q to 6.8 `~
arginine 5.3 to 5.5. :
Th.ese animal feeds may be produced with or without :
the additi.on of methionine in the ~anner i.ndicated in the above . `
mentioned pending applicati.on.
Thus, the ~n~ention also provides a method of manu-facturing soft-moist animal diet feeds s~ch. as herein described, which comprises cook~ng protein and mixing the protein with fat, and thereafter adding and mixing in the carbohydrates to the mi.xture wh.en at a substantially lower temperature than the cooking temperature.
2a The production of the diet feed of the invention is preferably effected by blending a mixture which has been precooked in order to kîll bacteria, comprising fresh meat or ~ ;
dried meat reduced to small pieces and other products which are readily perish.able or which may have been contaminat--la-ed with bacteria owing to the way of their obtention, first with the fat, and ;~
the remaining additives are subsequently added and, if desired, the resulting ?
mixture is extruded in the cold and divided into morsels of desired size and, if desired, the morsels are subsequently sprayed with a liquid bactericide which is physiologically inert.
In order to maintain the high biological quality of all the ingredients, the use of heat in the production of the diet feed of the inven-tion should be reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, the possibility of a `
reaction of the proteins with the carbohydrates during the production process should be minimized. It has been found that the quality reduction of the protein mixture, occurring in the case of the hitherto known production pro-cesses, can be avoided to a great extent if the protein-containing ingredients are blended with the fats before the addition of the substances mainly con-sisting of low-molecular carbohydrates, thus the damage to lysine, caused by the reaction known as the Maillard reaction between lysine and the lower carbohydrates, may be reduced.
The production may, for example, be effected as follows:
Fresh or dried meat, reduced to coarse pieces, is heated in an autoclave to a temperature of approx. 100 - 110C, optionally with stirring, for a time sufficient to sterilize the mixture and to deactivate the enzymes, together with the other readily perishable protein-containing products, e.g.
eggs, soya products, casein, wheat germ products, etc., and those ingredients which may have been contaminated with bacteria owing to the way of their obtention, e.g. natural potassium carbonate or other natural minerals. The cooking time preferably ranges between 15 and 30 minutes. If desired, the plant protein-containing substances may be added to the meat which has been precooked for 10 to 15 mînutes. The fats are subsequently admixed, preferably while the mass is still hot, or are added in melted state to the cooled mass.
Colouring and preserving agents may be added as such or, for example, dissolv-ed or suspended in propylene glycol. The further ingredients, which may have ~Ot~S35 likewise been previously heated, may then be added individually to the resùlt-ing cooled elementary mass, or may be first mixed together and then added jointly. If desired, the mixture may again be heated to approx. 80 - 100C.
The vitamins are preferably added to the cooled mixture lastly, if desired, together with a colouring solution. In the resulting feed mixture all the ingredients are mixed homogeneously. It has a consistency which permits the extrusion of the mixture at a temperature between room temperature and approx.
50C, preferably at room temperature, and division into pieces of desired size.
Bactericidal liquids which are suitable for spraying the resulting molded pieces are, for example, lactic acid or propylene glycol or mixtures thereof, optionally with the addition of a physiologically inert, readily volatile diluent.
The animal feeds of this invention are indicated for use as men-tioned in our above-mentioned pending application, i.e. for the food supply of a dog prone to nephritis, and possess especially desirable properties as diet feeds suitable for feeding dogs ad libitum.
Thus the diet feeds of the invention are particularly suitable for animals prone to kidney diseases in which the maintenance of low urea levels in the blood is particularly important. While low blood urea levels may also be obtained by the supply of feeds containing very small amounts of protein, it has been found that when the correct amino acid balance is given, substantially more protein may be eaten and thus the protein requirements of the amimal are met. Diets which are merely low in protein do not meet the protein requirements of the animal and may cause further health problems.
A preferred form of the invention is a die-t feed for dogs suffer-ing from renal diseases. In the case of nephritis, the increased amounts of urea in the blood after normal food consumption cannot be sufficiently eliminated and, therefore, cumulative and chronic urea poisoning sets in.
The renal disease diet feed according to the invention comprises ~068535 approx. 5 to 15 % of protein containing the amino acid content set out as especially preferred above. In order to avoid an excess of individual, un-necessary amino acids, it is preferred to use meat which is devoid of connec-tive tissue or its equivalent, e.g. egg and casein either singly or in combina-tion as suppliers of animal protein.
Animals suffering from renal diseases are usually bad eaters. In order to insure the daily calorie requirement of the animal with only a small total amount of feed, the renal disease diet feed has a high fat content.
Animal or vegetable fat may be used. For example, non-defatted grain products such as fat-rich soya meal or rape or linseed products, fat-containing legumes, e.g. peanut flour, or milk products enriched with fat, are suitable.
In order to obtain a complete incorporation of the fat and to avoid a subse-quent fat exudation to the surface of the individual pieces of feed, it is ~-convenient when very high fat contents, e.g. of over 15 %, are desired, to add part of the fat to the cooled mass in the form of a solidified emulsion of the type of oil in water emulsion and in powder form, in which the individualfat particles are surrounded by a stable external covering which is also main-tained during the further treatment. Such a solidified fat-rich emulsion is, for example, a dry milk powder prepared from milk enriched with fat. Non-defatted grain products such as fat-rich soya meal also contain part of the fat bound in the form of a solidified emulsion. The renal disease diet feed furthermore preferably contains an excess of water-soluble B vitamins and has a high mineral substance content, in order to compensate for the increased requirement of such substances in the case of renal diseases.
The renal disease diet feed according to the invention comprises 5 to 15 % of protein in which the ratio of animal protein to plant protein is approx. from 3:5 to 5:9, and in which at most half of the animal protein is derived from meat, and which has an amino acid balance as specified above, 30 to 45 % of carbohydrates, 10 to 18% of fat, and 10 to 25 % of water.
A further preferred form of the invention is a diet feed low in 1~)68535 calories, which has a content of 10 to 20 % of an edible filler having low nutritive value.
When animals are supplied with a sufficient quantity of all the essential amino acids in their feed, this reduces no sensation of hunger, even with a reduced total calorie supply. In accordance with ~he invention the calorie content of the diet feed is reduced in that the amount of fat usually contained in the feed is replaced by a filler having a low nutritive value and the fat content is conveniently reduced to less than 5 %. However, the feed should preferably still contain an amount of fat of at least approx.
3 %, which is sufficient to cause a slowing down of stomach evacuation.
Suitable fillers having low nutritive value are those edible substances which are stable to moisture, do not swell during production and storage of the product, and are scarcely broken down by the animal, e.g. edible cellulose products or grain products. Such specially suitable products are, for example, corncob meal, wheat bran, or cellulose prepared from wheat bran or dried beet chips. rhe diet feed low in calories preferably has a relatively high water content, e.g. between 15 and 25 %, and preferably contains a sufficient quantity, e.g. between approx. 10 and 25 %, to stabilize and maintain the moisture of the product, of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, especially monosaccharides. In order to avoid the final product becoming too brittle by the addition of the above mentioned fillers, it is preferred to add further ingredients having good binding properties, to the mixture. It has been found that especially suitable stabilizing and humidifying agents, which likewise have a sufficient binding agent effect in order to obtain the desired consistency, are a mixture of glucose with a glucose syrup having a low D.E.
value9 e.g. a D.E. value of approx. 30, preferably at a mixture ratio of approx. 2:1 to 3:1, and molasses.
The low calorie diet feed according to the invention comprises 5 to 35 % of protein in which the ratio of animal protein to plant protein is approx. from 3:5 to 5:9, and which has an amino acid balance as specified ~0~53S :`

above~ 3 to 5 % of fat, 10 to 25 % of low molecular weight carbohydrates, lO
to 25 % of water, and 10 to 20 % of an edible filler having low nutritive value~
As will be appreciated, when the edible filler is a carbohydrate then the total carbohydrate content including the preserving low molecular weight carbohydrate will be from 20 to 45 %.
A further preferred form of the invention is a diet feed which comprises a high calorie content relative to feed quantity, preferably in the form of readily digestible foodstuffs, and preferably comprises a large por-tion of proteins of high biological quality. This feed is especially indicat-ed for use in the feeding of animals which are in a stress situation, e.g.
growth, convalescence, lactation, performance stress, etc. The stress diet feed is preferably devoid of fiber elements which are hard to digest. Aside from proteins and fat, the feed contains as readily digestible calorie-rich substances c.g. low-molecular weight carbohydrates, especially monosaccharides, e.g. glucose. In order to obtain a sufficiently solid consistency, the diet feed preferably contains approx. 15 to 20 % of defatted soya products which have a texture-forming effect. Suitable readily digested proteins, aside from egg and soya products, are preferably milk products, especially sodium caseinate, which is likewise capable of binding part of the sugarlike sub-stances.
The stress diet feed of the invention may, for example, contain 30 to 45 % of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, preferably the major portion in the form of glucose or sucrose, and 20 to 35 % of proteins in the balance specified above, preferably the major portion in the form of egg, milk and soya products, especially sodium caseinate and defatted soya meal, approx. 8 to 18 % of fat, and 10 to 25 % of water, aside from further ingredients.
The following Examples illustraie the present invention. Example
2 is especially suitable as a diet, Example 3 as a stress diet and Example l as a renal disease diet.
