Manufacturing method of pet food {PET FOOD MANUFACTYRING METHOD}

The present invention relates to pet food, and more specifically, to a pet food form that can evenly apply the powder to the pet food by mixing and packaging the powder in the pet food and shaking it before feeding it to the pet animal, and a method for manufacturing the same. It's about.

Recently, with the spread of nuclear families, there is an increasing trend in the number of pets being raised with family members inside the home rather than outside.

Accordingly, pets are accepted as members of the family living with people, not just animals, and such pets are sometimes referred to as companion animals.

In particular, as the number of pets raised at home is gradually increasing, many pet foods are being developed and sold on the market.

In this way, pet food is usually manufactured by adding additives that animals like to feed raw materials.

In other words, feed raw materials are manufactured using a feed raw material manufacturing device, and additives are mixed with the manufactured feed raw materials to produce pet food.

However, existing feeds do not mix additives properly and are lacking in favoring or improving intimacy with companion animals, so improvement measures are required.
