Description

Dog snack for improving hair including bellows powder {Snack for companion dog comprising powder of Locusta migratoria for improving hair quality}

The present invention relates to a dog snack food for improving fur containing bellows powder, and a wet or semi-wet type dog snack containing 1% bellflower powder based on the total weight of the dog's hair to make the dog's hair rich and shiny. It has the effect of improving the hair quality.

The domestic companion animal market, which was about 1 trillion won in 2010, is expected to grow to 5.81 trillion won in 2020 (Nonghyup Economic Research Institute, 2013). In the domestic pet food market, foreign imported brands occupy more than 70% of the market. The feeds of Korean companion animal feed companies (Daehan Feed, Daeju Feed, CJ, Woosung, etc.), which oppose the high-end feeds of multinational brands such as Nestlé and Mars, are mid-to-low-priced feeds, which are in line with the growing market demand for high-end feeds. I am unable to go. In fact, in 2015, the import volume of companion animal feed was 200,000 tons over the past five years, while the export volume was 30,000 tons, which is about 7 times different. The import amount was about 177.5 billion won, showing a high gap of about 11.5 times.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, according to the increase in single-person households, low fertility and aging, the proportion of households with companion animals in Korea was about 21.89% in 2015, and the number of households raised was about 4.57 million, with 1 out of 5 households raising companion animals. This is an increase of 4.4%p from 17.4% in 2010. In the United States, where the companion animal industry was developed early, as of 2015, 68% of all households had companion animals, and the number of companion animals is estimated to be about 220 million. According to the KB Financial Group Management Research Institute, as of 2012, about 16.8% of Japanese households own companion animals, and it is estimated that they own 20 million dogs and cats.

Looking at the feed and feed additives industry, according to the BCC Research market report “Compound Feeds and Additives Global Markets (June 2014)”, the global compound feed market size grew from USD 85.629 billion in 2013 to an average annual growth rate of 6.6%. It is expected to grow to $117.795 billion in 2018. Meanwhile, the global feed additive market is expected to grow from USD 20.439.6 million in 2013 to USD 26.62.5 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5.41%.

Meanwhile, countries around the world are implementing national management of biological resources through national key management agencies, and insects are one of the future alternative foods recommended by the United Nations.

Insects contain more than 50% of their body weight as protein and are rich in minerals, amino acids, etc., so they are used as food, livestock, poultry, fish and pet food.

Among them, bellflower ( Locusta migratoria ) is a grasshopper in the order Locustaceae, which is usually 4 to 6 cm in size and belongs to a large insect in the grasshopper family. It is already known as an edible insect resource that can be consumed by humans or used for animal feed as a protein source. have. Nevertheless, bellows is a grasshopper insect that causes damage to crops. Recently, the number of bellows has been decreasing due to the use of pesticides or insecticides. Accordingly, the number of farms who want to artificially breed them is gradually increasing, and various methods are being studied to utilize bellows.

Accordingly, the present inventors confirmed that the fur quality of the dog can be improved when the bellowsfish is fed to the dog while researching the utilization method of the bellows, and completed the present invention.

Example 2: Investigation of general components and amino acid content of dog snacks according to the addition amount of bell pepper

2-1. General component analysis

General component analysis of the dog snacks prepared in Preparation Examples 2 and 3 was performed. Specifically, analysis of general components is carried out according to the AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) method for moisture at atmospheric pressure (125°C, 3 hours), raw material by direct furnace method (550°C, 6 hours), and protein for Kjeldahl nitrogen. As a quantitative method, fat was analyzed using the Soxhlet extraction method. The positive control is a commercially available canned type of wet snack, and the control is a wet snack without the addition of bell pepper powder. The results are shown in Tables 5 and 6 below.

As can be seen in Tables 5 and 6, the dog snack containing the bell pepper powder prepared in Preparation Examples 2 and 3 has a higher protein and fat content than the control, so it will be able to provide sufficient nutrition to the dog. In addition, even if 1% by weight of bellows is contained, the protein and fat content is almost equal to that of the high content of bellflower, so even if the content of bellflower is minimized, it has the advantage of providing sufficient nutrition to dogs.

2-2. Analysis of main amino acid content

The amino acid content of the dog treats containing the bell pepper powder prepared in Preparation Examples 2 and 3 was analyzed. Amino acid content analysis was performed using the ninhydrin method. For the pretreatment of the sample, the sample was pulverized to 0.5 mm or less, 15 ml of 6N HCL was added, and then reacted in a dry oven for 24 hours (110° C.). The decomposed sample was concentrated under reduced pressure twice using a water bath (55° C.), and then it was put into a 25ml quantitative flask. After filtration with 0.45 μl membrane (membrane filter), the amino acid content was analyzed by dilution. The positive control is a commercially available canned type of wet snack, and the control is a wet snack without the addition of bell pepper powder. The results are shown in Tables 7 and 8 below.

As can be seen in Table 7, the wet type dog treat containing the bellowsfish powder of Preparation Example 2 has both the total amino acid content and the essential amino acid content of about 1.5 to 2 times or more compared to the case without the addition of the bellflower powder (control) increased. In particular, the content of essential amino acids was found to be higher when the content of the bellflower powder preferred by dogs was 1% compared to the case when the content of the bellflower powder was 2% and 4%.

In addition, as can be seen in Table 8, the semi-wet dog snack containing the bellflower powder of Preparation Example 3 had a total amino acid content and essential amino acid content of about 16 to 18 compared to the case where no bellflower powder was added (control) % increased.

Example 4: Effect of improving the fur of dogs

According to Example 1, a dog snack containing 1% of the bellflower powder with good preference was fed to the dog as a snack twice a day in the morning and afternoon for 1 month. As a result, FIGS. 1 and 2 are the results of feeding the wet type snack of Preparation Example 2, and FIG. 3 is the result of feeding the semi-wet type snack of Preparation Example 3. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the dog snack according to the present invention has the effect of improving the hair quality by making the sparse hair of the dog rich and shiny.
