Description

The present invention relates to a pet supplement and a method for producing the same.

According to the 2015 National Survey of Dog and Cat Breeding by the Japan Pet Food Association, pets are important in giving joy to life, in terms of health and spirit, and in communication that connects people. There is a result (2015 National Dog and Cat Breeding Survey Results (Japan Pet Food Association) http://www.petfood.or.jp/topics/img/160129.pdf).
According to the same survey, the average life expectancy of pets has increased to 14.85 years for dogs (14.17 years in the previous year) and 15.75 years for cats (14.82 years in the previous year). It seems that health problems such as habitual diseases and dementia are increasing. According to the same survey, more and more pet owners are giving snacks to their pets as well as their daily diet. 35.9% (33.8% of the previous year) of owners give commercial snacks to dogs, and 25.3% (21.6% of the previous year) of owners give commercial snacks to cats.

Conventional pet foods, nutritional supplements, and snacks contain grains, salt, chemical seasonings, and synthetic additives in addition to protein sources such as meat and fish. There has been a problem of causing LGS problems or diseases similar to human lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes caused by salt, chemical seasonings, and synthetic additives. In addition, there is a problem that acrylamide is generated by high-temperature cooking.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a pet food containing chicken as a main raw material, which improves the color gloss of the surface after drying, has a good appearance as a commercial product, and is easy to eat. In this document, in addition to chicken, which is the main raw material, a combination of wheat flour as a binder, salt and chemical seasoning for seasoning, and fish meal for calcium reinforcement are described.

Patent No. 2975569

An object of the present invention is to provide a pet supplement and a method for producing the same, which can eliminate the burden on pet digestion, the occurrence of allergies, the LGS problem due to grain-derived gluten, and the occurrence of acrylamide. ..

That is, the present invention is a pet supplement containing only chicken or pork as a protein source and no grain-derived raw material.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a pet supplement and a method for producing the same, which can eliminate the burden on pet digestion, the occurrence of allergies, the LGS problem due to grain-derived gluten, and the occurrence of acrylamide. .. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to add additives such as chemical seasonings, the present invention prevents diseases similar to human lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes caused by these additives, and contributes to maintaining and improving the health of pets. can do.

FIG. 1 is a photograph showing an example of an unbaked birthday cake using chicken breast. FIG. 2 is a photograph showing an example of an unbaked Halloween cookie using chicken breast. FIG. 3 is a photograph showing an example of an unbaked Halloween cake using chicken breast.

The present invention relates to a pet supplement containing only chicken or pork as a protein source. Since it contains a single protein derived from a single ingredient derived from chicken or pork, the burden of digestion of pets can be reduced. Furthermore, by using chicken breast for chicken and pork thigh for pork, the unity of protein can be further enhanced.

Further, the pet supplement of the present invention does not use a grain-derived raw material such as wheat flour. Therefore, the occurrence of allergies derived from grain allergens can be suppressed, and the LGS problem can be solved because gluten derived from grains is not contained (gluten-free).

Gluten is a type of protein produced from the germ of grains such as wheat and rye, and is an important element that determines elasticity and softness and assists swelling in making processed wheat products. However, in recent years, it has been widely recognized that this gluten is a factor that causes allergies and LGS, and there is a widespread tendency to restore health by eating a gluten-free diet. The LGS problem (Leaky Gut Syndrome) is a symptom in which the mucous membrane of the intestinal wall is damaged and intestinal substances leak into the body, which causes various illnesses. In recent years, various symptoms that are thought to be caused by this LGS have developed in the digestive tract of dogs that do not originally require grains.

Furthermore, the pet supplement of the present invention does not require the addition of additives such as chemical seasonings. By not containing these additives, it is possible to contribute to the maintenance and promotion of the health of pets.

The pet supplement of the present invention is a food containing a single protein composed of a specific amino acid by using only chicken such as chicken breast or only pork such as pork thigh as a raw material. As a result, it is easy to digest and less likely to cause allergies. Furthermore, by not using cereals, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of allergies using cereals as allergens and solve the LGS problem caused by gluten derived from cereals.

The pet supplement of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the production method of the present invention described below.

Further, the present invention comprises (1) a step of boiling chicken or pork as a material, (2) a step of cooling the boiled material and then stirring it to make a paste, and (3) a step of molding the pasted material. And (4) The present invention relates to a method for producing a supplement for pets, which includes a step of drying the molded material at a low temperature and does not include a step of cooking at a high temperature.

Low temperature drying means drying at a temperature of about 50 ° C. or lower (for example, 48 ° C.). By the drying step, the moisture of the molded paste-like material is evaporated and hardened, and the shape can be fixed as a food such as a cookie or a cake. The drying time of the low-temperature drying step tends to be longer than that of the high-temperature drying, for example, about 12 to 36 hours, preferably 24 hours or more.

The high-temperature cooking process refers to the process of baking, frying, and frying. When amino acids and sugars are processed by such a high temperature cooking process, acrylamide is generated, which may adversely affect the health of pets. Amino acids and sugars are common chemicals and nutritional components commonly found in foods. In particular, it is abundant in grains, potatoes, vegetables, etc., and such chemical substances contained in foods are decomposed by heating or changed to other chemical substances, but in the process It is believed that acrylamide is produced. It is known that such chemical changes in food components caused by heating foods play a very important role in the deliciousness of foods, such as the formation of color and flavor. In addition, heating improves digestion and kills harmful microorganisms, so it is very difficult to cook without acrylamide while maintaining the quality required for foods such as flavor and texture.

In the production method of the present invention, acrylamide generation can be suppressed because simmering and low-temperature drying are performed without performing high-temperature cooking such as baking, frying, and frying, and the finished pet supplement is substantially acrylamide. Does not include. Further, since the food is sufficiently sterilized by the boiling step and then dried at a low temperature, it is possible to provide a food that is sufficiently sterilized but does not contain acrylamide. Further, in the present invention, a cookie or cake in the shape of a symbol or character symbolizing an event, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, is provided by molding the material that has undergone the boiling process into a paste and then drying it. can do. Pet foods of this shape are not found in traditional wet, dry, or dried meat-like jerky-like foods, and pets such various shapes and colors of cookies and cakes. By giving it to the owner, the owner can enjoy the event with the pet and get a sense of fulfillment.
