DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of producing rice husks containing a large amount of crude plant fiber by pulverizing rice husks as a main raw material, and mixing with cow urine, preferably cow urine of a dairy type. A fermented product, a fiber meal obtained by adding flour and charcoal pulverized material to the natural vegetable organic fiber resource 100%, is a low-calorie and high palatability, and can be used as a snack between meals. The present invention relates to a dry-type dock food having excellent intestinal regulation by giving it and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Commercially available dock foods are often of a dry type due to the ease of feeding, but if the main components and characteristics of the raw materials are described, digestible beef, chicken and other meat, fish, cereals, vegetables, and vitamins can be used. It is characterized as a so-called total nutritional food containing calcium, minerals and the like. In addition, there are many products in which the content of crude fiber, which plays a role in intestinal regulation for adjusting the stomach, is suppressed to only 1 to 5% or less from the viewpoint of high calorie level and nutritional balance.

[0003] Further, conventional general nutritional foods are produced by adding a flavor or coating the surface with animal or vegetable oil for the purpose of enhancing palatability.

[0004] Insufficient crude fiber intake tends to cause digestive system upset and heartburn. Eat paper for rugs often found in small dogs such as indoor dogs, or
Direct symptoms such as softening of feces occur, and when this symptom further progresses, since they require physiologically fiber, they will take unsanitary behavior such as eating excreted feces,
It has been a source of trouble for owners. However, crude fiber, which tends to be insufficient from a comprehensive nutritional diet, cannot be sufficiently supplied.

[0005]

There are many general nutritional products that can take the necessary nutrition. More desirably, it is a dry type that is easy to handle, providing a low-calorie and intestinal action by providing a coarse fiber food as a snack between meals with safety and high palatability without additives. There has been a need for a new dock food that can be maintained and capable of excreting hard, well-shaped and healthy feces.

The present invention suppresses nutrition and calorie content as much as possible based on safety using 100% natural vegetable organic fiber resources, and is also referred to as a barometer of health when given as a snack between meals. The state of the droppings is always healthy and keeps a good shape. Intestinal function to improve stomach, deodorant effect of manure, diet diet to prevent obesity, low calorie, combined with other foods to increase the amount of feeding and create satiety and reduce stress It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel vegetable crude fiber dock food product not found in conventional foods having many advantages.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, rice husk and cow urine, preferably cow urine of a dairy-only species, are used as raw materials. The rice hulls are subjected to predetermined necessary pretreatment such as crushing to produce a fermentation product. This product is scattered in the characteristics of rice husk fiber, and a method of coagulating and solidifying the scattered organic material to an appropriate hardness using the same organic resources is highly safe. Applicant filed Japanese Patent Application No. 8-35
As exemplified in 9911, by using an appropriate amount of wheat flour rich in gluten content, a molded product having a required hardness can be produced.

[0008] In addition, the finely pulverized charcoal is carefully selected from high quality raw materials obtained from forest resources, and then mixed with an appropriate amount of the raw materials to remove bacteria in the intestine, purify, and deodorize manure. The result is a product that provides many beneficial functions, such as action, stress relief, and appetite enhancement.

[0009] Although often found in commercial total nutritional diets, it may be repelled by dog breeds when given the same product. This tendency is also seen in the product. One of the factors is the kind of feed given to date, feeding management such as feeding method, and environmental conditions. Even with this product, the tendency is particularly observed in small dogs. As a method for improving palatability, it is advisable to add cow urine extract or animal flavor, or to treat with animal or vegetable oil, preferably tallow.

The amount of oil in the coating is, for example, 1, 5 to 2, 0% based on the weight of the dry molded product, and this is 170%.
A highly palatable product can be obtained by performing a short oil coating treatment under a high temperature condition of not less than ℃ and drying quickly.

[0011] Rice hulls are one of the conditions for improving the palatability by adjusting the harvested rice by natural drying and crushing the raw material having a high freshness and unique flavor immediately after the adjustment into fine powder to use. be able to.

[0012] More preferably, by limiting the production area of paddy, by special cultivation management such as pesticide-free, and by using a single cultivar, it is possible to improve safety and varieties-specific fiber hardness, flavor, texture, etc. Experimental results show that characteristics have a subtle effect on palatability. The varieties used in the present invention were Koshihikari, Kirara 397 and others.

The present inventors have conducted aerobic fermentation treatment of rice husks and cow urine, which are the main raw materials selected and used as described above, and preferably cow urine of a species exclusively for Holstein milk, in a short time by a predetermined method. Used. Rice hulls are fermented under suitable water conditions necessary for fermentation, and after aging this, flour and charcoal are added as a coagulated and solidified material, molded, dried, and coated as necessary to obtain a dry type. A new plant-based crude fiber dock food, which has excellent palatability and exerts its power on intestinal function to improve tumminess and excrete healthy hard feces, evaluates palatability by multiple dog types and age groups Done.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples. It is necessary to adjust the fermentation product to 45 to 65% as a water condition for aerobic fermentation of good quality rice hulls crushed into a fine powder having a water content of 13 to 17%. In the present invention, the adjusted water which can be cited as a characteristic point of the production method uses cow urine, preferably cow urine of a dairy-only species. Furthermore, an excellent odorless fermentation product can be produced by adding a small amount of high quality rice bran as a fermentation aid.

Further, as an apparatus capable of producing a high-quality and uniform fermentation product in a very short time, an apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-105564 can be mentioned.

Further, the preferred device exemplified above is:
The mixture is kneaded while applying high pressure and vigorous vibration by a pressurizing and kneading apparatus, and the temperature is raised to 40 to 90 ° C. by the heat of pressurization and the kneading heat, and the fermentation can be performed for about 10 minutes. The fermentation product extruded from the outlet of the apparatus is a fermentation product having a water content of 40 to 45% and a special unpleasant odor such as cow urine completely eliminated. By aging this for 14 to 20 days, a high-quality, uniform fermentation product, which is a main raw material of the dock food, can be obtained.

The raw material dough for the molded product is a wheat flour containing gluten per 100% by volume of the fermentation product, preferably a lower-grade flour having a high gluten content of 18-35.
Charcoal 1 which is finely crushed and adjusted to 10% or more by volume
３3% by volume is added and stirred and mixed to obtain a mixture raw material.

Next, 4 to 7% of the raw material mixture was added.
Hot water at 0 to 60 ° C is added to adjust the water content to an appropriate hardness that can be molded, and the mixture is kneaded for 15 to 20 minutes to form a gluten-based, slightly sticky molded material raw material dough.

The molding is performed by using a predetermined molding machine to form the raw material dough according to dog breeds, large dogs, small dogs, puppies, and young dogs immediately after weaning into predetermined specifications and shapes. For example, according to the embodiment, the length is 5 to 100 mm, the width is 5 to 30 mm, and the thickness is 2 to 19 m.
m, the shape is a stick, biscuit, flake, or pellet, which is a size that induces a playful feeling to enjoy chewing, and is also an element that improves eating.

Immediately after molding, drying is carried out quickly with a hot air dryer at 60 to 90 ° C. to reduce the water content to 5% or less. The dried product is hard, almost odorless, has a brown to blackish brown color, is a chewy and extremely edible diet food, and is also a health food that prepares the stomach. In particular, it can be noted that standard products without oil coating have extremely high palatability for large dogs.

The palatability was evaluated by conducting a dog-type palatability test under the following conditions, and the test results are as shown in Table 1. Test Method A fixed amount of the product was fed to 25 dogs of 6 dog breeds, and the food consumption 5 minutes after feeding was measured. Feeding frequency once a day, feeding amount once 2
The test was continuously carried out for 0 to 100 grams for 20 days, and the average value per dog was displayed for each dog type. The test product used was a standard type without oil coating.

[0022]

Since the present invention is manufactured by the above-described method, the following effects can be obtained.

Since it is low in calories and contains plant crude fiber as a main component, it can be fed as a snack.

Low calories are effective in preventing obesity.

[0025] Treating as a snack relieves stress and increases appetite

As it is said that fiber has an effect on the intestinal regulation, the effect is rapid and remarkable. Numerous demonstrations have shown that the stomach can be tied up and that it is possible to excrete hard, well-shaped and healthy feces. In particular, the intestinal regulating action, which is a feature of the product, has characteristics that are difficult to obtain from a comprehensive nutritional diet.

The charcoal quality significantly reduces the odor of the excrement of indoor dogs due to the deodorizing action of manure and the action of removing bacteria in the intestine.

The raw materials are carefully selected under special management such as not using pesticides, and are products with an emphasis on safety.
