Description

The invention relates to a production process for animal feed and an animal feed to achieve a species-appropriate, healthy and performance-enhancing animal nutrition.

When raising, caring for and keeping animals, humans often have to be one wild species of animals inherently innate rules more correct Adopt behaviors.

This applies in particular to a species-appropriate diet, in which a domesti graced animal instead of its originally natural instincts on the care of the Pet owner is instructed. Wrong and especially one-sided or even "waste" - Feeding, vitamin deficiency and unsuitable feed can be serious Damage and illnesses and, for example, malnutrition or fatty acids severity, rickets, skin damage or fur diseases, osteoarthritis and fungal and Lead infectious diseases.

Recently, an economically remarkable industry has developed, the ge targets a wide range of animal feed varieties. In parallel to this, too Veterinary medicine has been successfully established and supervised e.g. B. in all major places or cities the area of so-called small animal husbandry.  

Nevertheless, there is a lack of domestic and / or professional animal husbandry ignorance of correct, d. H. appropriate feeding of animals or nutritional damage or illness will not or will not correctly identified. It can therefore not only be recognized externally by the skin or fur Damage occur, but also inflammation and other deficiencies such. B. on the bit or on the claws as well as on the skeleton.

The document WO 97/09 992; PCT / AU 96/00564 reports on a new Er Knowledge that certain marine organisms such as mussels metabolites hold, which act as active pharmaceutical ingredients and are suitable, the Be effectively support the action of inflammation in humans and animals. It it was found that water-soluble portions of a mussel preparation, do sis dependent, anti-inflammatory activity with intraperitoneal administration own, but not with oral application. The invention according to the pre called document describes a method for anti-inflammatory Be act of a human or animal patient, whereby this one effective same amount of a lipid extract of the mussels Pema Canaliculus or Mytilus edulis is applied. The drug produced includes an inflamed anti-aging preparation containing a lipoid extract of Perna Canaliculus and / or Mytilus edulis as an active ingredient, together with an or several pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or dilutions.

Starting from the aforementioned prior art, the object of the invention is based on a method for producing an animal feed which in the preamble of Specify claim 1 type, which is particularly suitable for a species-appropriate as well as healthy and performance-enhancing nutrition of animals particularly suitable for their rearing, care and keeping, and an animal feed specify that can be produced with comparatively economical means.

To solve the problem with the invention in a method of the upper Concept of claim 1 mentioned the use of portions of the meat  the green mussel Perna Canaliculus and the blue mussel Myti lus edulis in the preparation of animal feed, especially for dogs, cats and / or Horses suggested.

This is the first time that a surprisingly species-appropriate and healthy, lei animal foodstuffs to promote the market, which has a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3, omega 6 and other fatty acids contains, which make a significant contribution to healthy animal nutrition and thus a positive effect on the development and maintenance of skin and fur have. Furthermore, these fatty acids of the green and blue Miesmu carry types of rags contribute to better feed conversion and have been shown by studies has been shown, with regular intake, a positive nutritional physiology effect on the overall health of the animals.

An embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the meat the aforementioned mussel species in the manufacturing process from the shell separated, gentle and especially freeze-dried, and won mussel meat or extract under the influence of a particular mecha African high pressure process and / or a solvent such as alcohol extracted mussel oil, and from the remaining protein-containing mu shelf extract is separated. The remaining after separating the oil High protein mussel extract is used in the production of feed for the animal species mentioned above have an extremely positive effect, e.g. B. at the Optimization of the mineral intake by the animals.

Among other things, it is the most important mineral in terms of quantity for the skeleton and the teeth of the animals, the calcium, which is obtained by using the above mentioned proteins from the high protein mussel extract can reach those parts of the body where it is preferred becomes. Protein from mussel meat serves as a messenger for a transportsy  stems, which the minerals added to the feed through the intestinal wall locks and stores them in bones and teeth. So this is transportsy specific to the health of the construction and maintenance of the skeleton and vital. Because, according to the teaching of the invention, this protein follows a gentle, d. H. process carried out without heating in decomposition ter form is obtained, its biological activity remains in contrast to z. B. conventionally heated protein hydrolyzates such. B. gelatin largely preserved. Another embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the from the mussel meat extract, especially without heating, won Shell oil as a valuable component or as a supplement to an appropriate one Preparation of animal feed proportionally in an individually provided percentage is added to it. Because, as already explained above, mussel oil of the green and blue mussel species contain a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids animal feed enriched with it makes a significant contribution to art fair and healthy nutrition.

And finally, an expedient design of the method provides that for various types or breeds of animals such as dog, cat or horse breeds and with regard to the biological constitution of an animal, for example young, older, convalescent, hard working animals etc. different feed preparations of preparations, in particular with adapted contents of mussel meat and / or mussel oil of the aforementioned types of mussels. To are animal feed preparations produced by the method according to the invention for animals, especially for dogs and cats, characterized in that they the components up to 40% calf bone meal; up to 20% silica; up to 10% son nenflower oil; up to 98% mussel oil from the green mussel Perna Canaliculus, as well as the blue mussel Mytilus edulis; up to 98% marine mollusc protein the aforementioned mussel species; up to 98% mussel meat or extract from the contain blue mussel Mytilus edulis.  

In contrast, the feed preparations specially designed for horses contain a Selection of the specified components up to 40% oats; up to 20% barley; until 20% Silica; up to 10% corn; up to 98% mussel oil of the green mussel Perna Ca naliculus, as well as the blue mussel Mytilus edulis; up to 98% marine mollus protein of the abovementioned mussel species; up to 98% mussel meat or extract of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

These preparations consistently contain up to 98% mussel oil from the green a mussel Perna Canaliculus, as well as the blue mussel Mytilus edu lis, and up to 98% marine mollusc protein of the aforementioned mussel species, and up to 98% mussel meat or extract from the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. These mussel components have particularly high levels of various fatty acids, which in animal feed contribute to better utilization of the feed and - as by Stu has been proven - with regular intake a positive nutritional physiological effect on the overall health of the animal fed with it exercise.

For each type of feed mixture it is further suggested that it be up to 98% Contains grape seed flour or extract. In feeding attempts has been confirmed tigt that with such an addition an improved effect on connective tissue web structures can be achieved. It also has a significant extension of durability. This can be attributed to the proportion of OPC (oligomers Recycle proanthocyanidins) in grape seed flour or extract because they are recognized was, the OPC as a natural antioxidant on the shelf life of the feed contained fat / oil.  

The invention particularly relates to a supplementary feed for animals, which between 50% and 98% mussel meat or mussel extract from Perna Ca contains naliculus. The rest of the rest consists of conventional fut term components.

A supplementary feed with a share of up to 98% of mussel meat or mu Shelf meat extract from Perna Canaliculus is particularly suitable for cat feeding suitable.

Finally, the invention comprises a supplementary feed for dogs and cats and horses, which contain the following components up to 20% malt extract; until 10% Seaweed meal; up to 5% yeast; up to 5% horsetail; up to 2% methionine; from ... to 98%, preferably 50% to 98% mussel meat or extract from Perna Canali culus contains. Targeted feeding trials have shown that for supplementary feed with a comparatively higher dosage of Mussel extract between 40% and 98% has a positive effect on the movement apparatus of the observed animals was achieved.

The invention is based on the knowledge of positive nutritional physiology Effect of the aforementioned marine molluscles on animals.
