raw fed pets organ guide

Описание: In a raw food diet (Raw Fed), organs are a natural "multivitamin" for your pet.1 Organs are very dense with nutrients that cannot be found in muscle meat alone. Here is a complete guide to the distribution and types of organs for dogs and cats based on BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) or PMR (Prey Model Raw) standards.1. The 10% Organ RuleIn general, in a daily diet, organs should cover 10% of the total weight of the food, which is divided into two categories:5% Liver: Must be present every day (main source of Vitamin A).5% Other Secretory Organs: Such as kidneys, spleen, or pancreas.2. Organ Categories: Which is "Organ" and Which is "Meat"?Many pet owners mistakenly think of heart or tripe as organs. In a raw diet, organs are divided based on their function:A. Secretory Organs (Must be included in the 10% quota)These organs secrete hormones or fluids and are very dense in micronutrients:Liver: Most crucial. Rich in Vitamin A, B12, Iron, and Copper. Kidney: Good source of Vitamin B12, Selenium, and Riboflavin. Spleen: Very high in Iron and Vitamin C. Pancreas: Rich in natural digestive enzymes. 2. Testes/Ovaries: Contains natural hormones and minerals. 3. Brain: Source of Omega-3 (DHA) and good cholesterol for nerve function. B. Muscle Meat / Muscular Organs (Included in Meat quota, NOT 10% of organs) Although anatomically an organ, this part is nutritionally more like muscle meat: Heart: Very high source of Taurine (very important for cats). Lungs: High in protein but low in calories, good for "filler". Tripe (Green Tripe): Very good for digestion, contains natural probiotics. Tongue: Very high in fat and protein. 3.

Important Tips for Giving OrgansStart Slowly: Organs (especially liver) are very "rich". Giving too much at once can cause diarrhea (dark, loose stools). Start with 1-2% and increase slowly to 10%.Variety is Key: Don't just give beef liver. Use organs from a variety of animals (chicken, goat, lamb, duck) to complete the nutritional profile. Source Quality: Since organs are the body's toxin filters, try to find organs from grass-fed or free-range/organic chickens to avoid chemical residues. 4. Taurine for Cats: Cats are true carnivores and require heart every day because they cannot produce their own taurine. Taurine deficiency can cause blindness and heart disease in cats. 5. How to Calculate Portions (Example) If your dog eats 500 grams per day: Muscle Meat (80%): 400 grams (including heart/lungs). Soft Bones (10%): 50 grams. Liver (5%): 25 grams. Other Secretory Organs/Kidneys (5%): 25 grams.
