Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a functional pet food for cats with urinary retention, based on the conversion of insect protein from organic waste and the combination of traditional Chinese medicine, belonging to the field of pet food technology. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, significant changes have taken place in the structure of Chinese families. More and more people are choosing pets to fill emotional gaps. Most pet owners do not regard their pets as accessories, but as indispensable family members. They are more rigorous in their choice of pet food, not only demanding high nutritional value, but also increasingly demanding functional pet food.

[0003] Urinary retention in cats is a common urinary tract disease with a high incidence rate. Prolonged urinary retention can lead to peritonitis, urinary tract infections, acute renal failure, and even threaten the cat's life. Domestic pet food in China has not yet fully entered the era of functional cat food, and the treatment of urinary retention in cats is mostly done with imported cat food, whose high price is prohibitive for many.

[0004] Insect protein is one of the few animal proteins comparable to fishmeal protein. Black soldier flies are a globally valuable insect resource, possessing strong antioxidant capabilities and high protein levels. Rich in glutamic acid, it has excellent palatability and contains antimicrobial peptides that resist bacterial and viral attacks. Furthermore, black soldier flies are inexpensive, which can reduce the price of functional grain products. Moreover, black soldier fly larvae can efficiently decompose various organic wastes, including vegetable scraps and soybean meal. The larvae convert organic waste into their own biomass (protein and fat) through feeding, with a conversion efficiency significantly higher than traditional composting or earthworm treatment. The secretions of the larvae can inhibit the breeding of pests such as houseflies, improve the waste disposal environment, and achieve healthy and effective resource recycling.

[0005] Traditional Chinese medicine, as a national treasure, has its unique theoretical system and application forms. It is used to prevent and treat diseases, and has rehabilitation and health care effects, which can improve the immunity of pets. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a functional pet food for cats with urinary retention based on the conversion of insect protein from organic waste and the combination of traditional Chinese medicine. This invention combines black soldier fly larvae with traditional Chinese medicine to assist in the treatment of urinary retention in adult cats, improve immunity, realize the resource utilization of waste organic waste, and provide a high-quality and inexpensive functional pet food.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] On one hand, the present invention provides a functional pet food for feline urinary retention based on the conversion of insect protein from organic waste and the compounding of traditional Chinese medicine, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 40-60 parts black soldier fly larvae, 15-20 parts salmon, 15-20 parts pigeon meat, 2-5 parts fish oil, 6-10 parts persimmon, 0.2-0.5 parts prebiotics, 0.2-0.5 parts taurine, 1-2 parts vitamins, 0.02-0.06 parts L-lysine, 1-3 parts corn silk, 1-3 parts yam powder, 1-3 parts konjac flour, 1-3 parts knotweed, 2-4 parts cat's whiskers, 2-4 parts plantain, 0.2-0.6 parts natural steroid saponins, and 0.05-0.3 parts rosemary extract.

[0009] Preferably, the functional pet food comprises the following components in parts by weight: 47 parts black soldier fly larvae, 17 parts salmon, 17 parts pigeon meat, 4 parts fish oil, 8 parts persimmon, 0.45 parts prebiotics, 0.3 parts taurine, 1.45 parts vitamins, 0.05 parts L-lysine, 2 parts corn silk, 2 parts yam powder, 2 parts konjac flour, 1.25 parts knotweed, 1.25 parts cat's whiskers, 1.25 parts plantain, 0.5 parts natural steroid saponins, and 0.2 parts rosemary extract.

[0010] Preferably, the functional pet food comprises the following components in parts by weight: 57 parts black soldier fly larvae, 17 parts salmon, 17 parts pigeon meat, 4 parts fish oil, 10 parts persimmon, 0.45 parts prebiotics, 0.3 parts taurine, 1.45 parts vitamins, 0.05 parts L-lysine, 3 parts corn silk, 2 parts yam powder, 2 parts konjac flour, 3 parts knotweed, 3 parts cat's whiskers, 3 parts plantain, 0.5 parts natural steroid saponins, and 0.2 parts rosemary extract.

[0011] Preferably, the vitamins are composed of a mixture of 0.1 parts vitamin A, 0.1 parts vitamin D3, 0.1 parts vitamin B1, 0.1 parts vitamin B2, 0.05 parts vitamin B6, 0.05 parts vitamin B12, 0.05 parts folic acid, 0.05 parts D-biotin, 0.1 parts vitamin E, 0.1 parts vitamin C, 0.1 parts D-calcium pantothenate, 0.1 parts niacin, 0.15 parts vitamin K, and 0.3 parts vitamin C.

[0012] Preferably, the prebiotic is composed of 0.15 parts of fructooligosaccharide, 0.15 parts of mannan oligosaccharide, and 0.15 parts of spirulina.

[0013] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned functional pet food, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Take black soldier fly larvae, salmon, and pigeon meat, and put them into a blender to make minced meat;

[0015] Step 2: Add corn silk, cat's whiskers, plantain, and knotweed to purified water and boil to make a traditional Chinese medicine extract;

[0016] Step 3: Juice the persimmons, filter the juice, and obtain persimmon juice;

[0017] Step 4: Mix the minced meat obtained in Step 1, the herbal extract obtained in Step 2, the persimmon juice obtained in Step 3, and the remaining components of the functional pet food, then granulate and freeze-dry to obtain the final product.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This invention uses black soldier fly larvae as the main protein source. As a high-quality protein, black soldier flies also have strong antioxidant capabilities, which can delay aging. They are rich in glutamic acid, making them highly palatable. The cat food provided by this invention has an average first-feed selectivity rate of 50% or even higher compared to other cat foods on the market. Black soldier flies are easily digestible and unlikely to damage the digestive system of cats. Their antimicrobial peptides can help pets resist bacterial and viral infections. Furthermore, insects are inexpensive, allowing for the conversion of organic waste into resources. The carbon emissions during breeding are significantly lower than those from chicken and beef farming, making it environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and nutritious.

[0020] 2. The persimmons used in this invention contain a variety of amino acids and trace elements, which promote bowel movements and can be used as an agricultural product to promote the development of rural industries.

[0021] 3. This invention uses traditional Chinese medicine to assist in the treatment of urinary retention in adult cats, with fewer side effects and a gentler approach, which can make the treatment of urinary retention more thorough. The combined treatment of Polygonum aviculare and Cat's whiskers grass has a better effect, and corn silk, as an agricultural product, can also increase farmers' income.

[0022] 4. This invention specifically adds prebiotics, natural steroid saponins, and black soldier fly larvae. The combination of these components can promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal flora and effectively prevent urinary tract infections and other diseases in pet cats, providing a good solution to the problem of urinary retention in cats that troubles pet owners.
