Description

[0001] CAT FEED CONTAINING NANO MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE [0002]

The present invention relates to the field of fodder, and more particularly to cat feed containing nanocrystalline cellulose.

Cats are omnivorous animals and can eat all types of food. Common cat food mainly contains starch, meat or some amino acid components. However, these common cat foods can often cause anorexia in cats, and may even cause serious dyspepsia and other diseases in cats.

Moreover, when feeding cats, people can mix cat food with water, which can seriously soften cat food and even dissolve in water, resulting in the cat eating solid food Can not. It will also cause cats to lose appetite.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a food which can maintain moisture in the food to improve the appetite of the cat, maintain the shape of the food better when the food is immersed in water, .

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising, by weight, the following components: 10 to 25 parts of fish starch powder, 5 to 15 parts of shrimp shell powder, 4 to 8 parts of egg whites, 5 to 15 parts of oats, A cat feed consisting of 3 parts of fructus cannabis, 2 to 4 parts of lysine, 2 to 5 parts of glutamic acid, 1 to 3 parts of threonine, 1 to 2 parts of sodium chloride, 0.05 to 0.1 part of nanocrystalline cellulose and 20 parts of water Wherein the cat food is prepared by uniformly mixing fish-caught powder, shrimp shell powder, egg whites, oats, hemp seeds, lysine, glutamic acid, threonine and sodium chloride to form a solid mixture; Adding the solid mixture, uniformly stirring, and standing for 3 to 5 hours to form a slurry mixture; Adding nano-microcrystalline cellulose to the slurry mixture, uniformly stirring, and preparing the mixture in a predetermined form; And drying the mixture at 50 to 70 DEG C for 2 to 3 hours to form a cat food.

The cat food provided in the present invention helps to keep moisture in the food and to keep the shape of the food better in order to secure a higher appetite of the cat. In addition, the cat food provided in the present invention helps improve the digestive power of cats to reduce disease.

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising, by weight, the following components: 10 to 25 parts of fish starch powder, 5 to 15 parts of shrimp shell powder, 4 to 8 parts of egg whites, 5 to 15 parts of oats, A cat food consisting of 3 parts hemp seed, 2 to 4 parts lysine, 2 to 5 parts of glutamic acid, 1 to 3 parts of threonine, 1 to 2 parts of sodium chloride, 0.05 to 0.1 part of nano-microcrystalline cellulose and 20 parts of water are provided.

In the above-mentioned raw materials, the nanocrystalline cellulose is one of microcrystalline cellulose, and its particle size is in the range of 50 to 1,000 nm. The nanocrystalline cellulose belongs to a non-nutritive substance which can not be digested by the human body and can not provide energy to the human body. Therefore, the nanocrystalline cellulose added in the present invention is not intended to provide nutrients to the human body.

However, the nanocrystalline cellulose has a function of completing a micro-ecological intestinal balance. Due to the small particle size of the nano-microcrystalline cellulose, its specific surface area is large, and hydrophilicity is stronger than general microcrystalline cellulose, so that moisture is more easily entrapped. In addition, after the nanocrystalline cellulose is combined with water and the above-mentioned mixture, a stable and three-dimensional net-like bridge in the drying process is used to increase the viscosity and function as a skeleton to improve the morphological stability of the formed cat food Structure can be formed.

For example, the cat food may be prepared in fish, ball or other form to enhance the desire for a cat's meal or play.

In addition, although the nanocrystalline cellulose can not be digested by the human body, the particle size is small and the taste of the feed will not be affected by the addition of the nanocrystalline cellulose. On the contrary, this makes the food more denser and makes the taste better and the pet more like the food.

Generally, the particle size of the nanocrystalline cellulose is preferably 100 to 300 nm. The nanocrystalline cellulose having the above-mentioned particle size is a compromise between the cost and taste obtained after several experiments.

The cat food can be prepared in the following manner.

First, fish starch powder, shrimp shell powder, egg whites, oats, hemp seeds, lysine, glutamic acid, threonine and sodium chloride are uniformly mixed in a certain ratio to form a solid mixture.

Water is then added to the solid mixture, the mixture is homogeneously stirred and left for 3 to 5 hours to form a slurry mixture. It should be understood that layering occurs when the mixture is left for too long. In this case, the liquid portion of the upper layer can be discarded immediately.

The nanocrystalline cellulose is added to the slurry mixture, and the mixture is uniformly stirred to prepare a predetermined form. In general, the form may be a ball, stripe or any other form that the cat likes. The morphology can be kept better because the nanocrystalline cellulose is added.

Finally, the mixture is dried at < RTI ID = 0.0 > 50-70 C < / RTI > for 2 to 3 hours to form cat food. It should be understood that if the temperature is too high, nutrients in the food can be destroyed and the binding of the nanocrystalline cellulose and other food ingredients can be easily destroyed. Excessively high temperatures do not contribute to moisture evaporation and require a longer time.

In the present invention, about 50 domestic cats about 1 year old are selected as test subjects, and 18 cats are selected to eat only cat food not containing nanocrystalline cellulose. The 18 cats were divided into three control groups, wherein each control group contained 6 cats, and the three control groups were the first control group, the second control group and the third control group, respectively,

At this time, the cat food of the first control group consisted of 25 parts of fish powder, 5 parts of shrimp shell powder, 8 parts of egg white, 5 parts of oats, 3 parts of hemp seed, 2 parts of lysine, 5 parts of glutamic acid, 1 part of threonine, 2 parts of sodium chloride And 20 parts of water.

The remaining 32 cats were divided into 8 experimental groups (also referred to as the group of Examples), wherein each group contained 4 cats, and each group was described in Examples 1 to 8 Eat cat food as shown in Fig.

The body weight, coat color and behavior of the cat are observed at 1, 2, and 3 months. Table 1 is a comparison chart after feeding for one month, Table 2 is a comparison chart after feeding for 2 months, and Table 3 is a comparison chart after feeding for 3 months.

It can be seen from Tables 1 to 3 that the cats of the first to third control groups do not change significantly in color and behavior, except that the body weight normally increases with growth. In many embodiments of the invention, the color of the cats begins to shine after two months, and furthermore, in some embodiments the cats have significantly increased body weight and are more active, It shows that it is more overflowing. More specifically, after eating cat food according to the embodiments of the present invention for 3 months, some of the cats significantly increased in body weight, and in Examples 6 to 8, Cats in all the example groups are more active because of their overflowing physical strength.

Although statistically, the changes observed in the above examples compared with conventional cat food include subjective factors such as whether or not the color is organic, whether the behavior is active or not, Quot; cat meal " should be understood to have certain advantages in providing nutrients and reinforcing physical strength.
