Abstract
A detailed investigation has been made to develop dry and moist pet foods from chicken meat. The physico-chemical, microbiological parameters, toxicological studies along with dog feeding trail under different packaging conditions of pet food samples were assessed at the Department of Livestock Products Technology (Meat Science), Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal - 637002.
The treatments were divided into four groups viz., TC (Control-without chicken meat/offal meal) dry pet food, T1 (Dry pet food incorporated with Chicken boneless breast), T2 (Dry pet food incorporated with Whole chicken) and T3 (Dry pet food incorporated with Chicken offal meal) and all treatments were formulated to contain 18.5 per cent crude protein and 3900Kcal/kg of gross energy as per the Association of American Feed Control Official, (2014).
The moist pet food diet formulations were also divided into four treatments viz., as TC (Control-without chicken meat/offal meal), T1 (Moist pet food incorporated with Chicken boneless breast, liver and heart), T2 (Moist pet food incorporated with whole chicken, liver and heart), and T3 (Moist pet food incorporated with Chicken offal meal, liver and heart). All the formulations were adjusted to contain 12 to 13 per cent crude protein and 66 to 70 per cent moisture for adult dog.
