[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application] The present invention relates to pet food,
More specifically, it relates to a jerky type pet food mainly made of meat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a processed diet to be given to pets such as dogs and cats, a jerky type pet food mainly composed of meat (hereinafter referred to as pet jerky food) is known. This pet jerky food is manufactured through a molding step, a baking step, a size cutting step, and a drying step after kneading a raw material meat with a predetermined extender and additives.

[0003]

However, the conventional pet jerky hood has a diameter of about 8 mm,
It was formed into a stick shape having a length of about 12 to 13 cm, and a plurality of sticks (for example, 10 sticks) were stored in one packaging bag for sale.
Therefore, when taking a pet for a walk, it is necessary to take out one stick (for example, 2 to 3 sticks) from the packaging bag and put it in a pocket or the like, which is inconvenient to carry. It was unsanitary. Also, if you give too many sticks to your pet at one time, you will be given shreds, but it takes a lot of force to shred dry meat and your hands will get dirty. There were also problems. Furthermore, in the manufacturing process, the raw meat that has been kneaded with the bulking material and additives and kneaded is molded into a long string with a diameter of about 8 mm by an extrusion molding machine. There is also a problem that it is easy to break on the transport line before entering. Further, when formed into a stick shape, it takes a long time for the stick core to dry in the drying step, and there is a problem that mass productivity is poor.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pet food which is excellent in portability, hygienic, and excellent in yield and mass productivity.

[0005]

The device according to claim 1 is
A pet food, which is prepared by mixing raw meat with a predetermined weighting material and additives, kneading the mixture, then baking and drying it.
It is characterized in that the outer shape is molded into a thin, flat card shape, and a plurality of strip-shaped cuts are formed on the surface thereof.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the outer shape is formed into a thin and flat card shape, it has excellent portability, is hard to cut on the transport line, and can be dried quickly.
Moreover, since a plurality of strip-shaped cuts are formed on the surface, it is easy to cut into small pieces, and it is easy to always give an appropriate amount to a pet.

1 is an external perspective view of a pet jerky hood according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the pet jerky hood 1 of this embodiment has a thin outer shape,
It is shaped like a flat rectangular card. In this embodiment,
As an example, the width a is about 5 cm, the depth b is about 8 cm,
The thickness t is selected to be about 3 mm. A plurality of cuts 2 are formed in a strip shape on one main surface of the pet jerky hood 1. The depth of each cut 2 does not undesirably separate the pet jerky hood 1,
Moreover, about 1/3 of the thickness t is preferable so that it can be easily torn.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a manufacturing process of the pet jerky hood 1 shown in FIG. Less than,
The manufacturing process of the pet jerky hood 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, raw material meat such as beef and pork is mixed with a bulking material such as vegetable protein (soybean protein), bone meal and the like, and additives such as seasonings, synthetic preservatives and coloring agents (step S1).
Next, the mixed raw materials are crushed, stirred and kneaded (step S2). Next, the kneaded raw material is molded into a thin plate using an extrusion molding machine or a press molding machine (step S3). Next, the raw material formed into a thin plate is baked by a fluidized baking machine or the like (step S4). At this time, the raw material on the transport line is more difficult to cut than the conventional string-like material, and as a result, the yield is improved. Next, a strip-shaped cut 2 (see FIG. 1) is formed on the surface of the baked material by a slicer or the like (step S5). Next, the baked material is cut into a size as a product (step S6). Next, the material cut to the product size is dried by a warm air dryer or the like (step S7). At this time, the drying is completed more quickly than the conventional stick-shaped one. When the drying process of step S7 is completed, the pet jerky hood 1 shown in FIG. 1 is completed. Finally, the completed pet jerky hood 1 is packaged (step S8). At this time, preferably the pet jerky hood 1 is 1
Each piece is individually packaged. Therefore, the user takes one or more individually packed pet jerky hoods 1 for taking a pet for a walk, takes out the pet jerky hood 1 from the packing bag at the walk destination, and shreds it into a predetermined size. It should be given to pets, has excellent portability, and does not stain hands.

Although the pet jerky hood 1 has a rectangular card shape in the above embodiment, it may have another shape. Further, in the above embodiment,
Although the cut 2 is formed only on one main surface of the pet jerky hood 1, the cut may be formed on the other main surface. Further, the raw material of the pet jerky hood 1 is not limited to the one described above as an example, and various kinds can be considered depending on the target pet and the intended use.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the outer shape is formed into a thin and flat card shape, it is excellent in portability, is hard to be cut on a conveyance line, and can be dried quickly. Moreover, since a plurality of strip-shaped cuts are formed on the surface, it is easy to cut into small pieces, and it is easy to always give an appropriate amount to a pet.
