Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of animal food and its additives, and more particularly to a complementary food composition for weaning mammals, the composition being free of gums and / or starches, and more particularly to a zero-gum and zero-starch complementary food for weaning mammals having high palatability and excellent health benefits. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the composition and a method for increasing the feed intake / feeding rate of animals, or increasing the palatability and / or health benefits of animal food using the composition. Background Art

[0002] The weaning period of mammals is generally the stage when the animal cubs gradually transition from relying on breast milk as the sole food source to consuming solid food. This stage is very important for the growth of the cubs and usually occurs around 4 to 10 weeks after birth, depending on the individual differences of the animals. During this period, the cubs begin to try some soft foods or special foods and gradually reduce their dependence on breast milk.

[0003] Complementary food for weaning animals is a nutritionally rich and easily digestible animal food designed specifically for weaning mammals. Its texture is soft and it does not contain various colloidal compounds and starches, reducing the harm to the "sensitive stomach" of animal cubs; as the cubs grow, it helps the animals safely and smoothly pass through the weaning period until they are fully adapted to solid food.

[0004] The transition from breast milk to solid food is a feeding stage in which the animal food during this period should be based on stimulating the animal's sense of smell, taste, nerves, etc. to enable the animal to ingest more nutrients. According to the differences in the species, living environment, physiological habits, sensory organs, and transmission media of animals, the animal food for the weaning period is made in the form of a portable packaged complementary food sausage for animals, which is different from the traditional animal sausages on the market, especially without containing a variety of compound colloids and modified starches. It is a complementary food product exclusive to the special growth stage of animal cubs; long-term consumption of products with a high colloid content will cause a decrease in the palatability of the cubs; because animals generally lack amylase in their bodies, ingesting products with a high starch content is likely to cause indigestion and bloating in animals. Cub food in the special growth stage has good market prospects and development trends due to its many technical difficulties, complex processes, market gaps, and high profit margins.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a complementary food product for weaning mammals having high palatability and excellent health benefits, which can not only increase the feed intake / feeding rate of animals, increase palatability and enhance appetite, but also help the cubs smoothly transition from breast milk to the solid food stage. For this reason, the technical solution of the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0090] 6. Advantages of the present invention

[0091] Currently, animal food (complementary food sausage) on the market is usually in the form of animal snacks, suitable for adult animals, containing various additives, such as compound colloid stabilizers, plant proteins, and starches. It has poor palatability and is not easily digested and absorbed, especially not suitable for animal cubs in the weaning period. Compared with traditional complementary food meat products, the complementary food composition of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0092] (1) The complementary food composition of the present invention is particularly suitable for the specific growth stage of weaned mammals, and as an animal complementary food, it helps cubs transition from liquid breast milk to solid food stage, refining the animal food market and filling the gap in the market of complementary food meat products for weaned animals;

[0093] (2) The complementary food composition of the present invention uses the functional characteristics of psyllium husk powder to replace compound colloid stabilizers, improving the texture of the animal complementary food composition, making the complementary food meat product softer, smoother, easier to lick, and enhancing the palatability (i.e., the acceptance degree of animals towards food, the willingness to continue using, and the tolerance after long-term consumption);

[0094] (3) The complementary food composition of the present invention uses animal collagen powder to replace water-retaining raw materials such as starch and plant protein, so that the complementary food composition has less or no water separation and less or no oil separation, thereby improving the stability, protein digestibility, and palatability of the product at the same time; compared with traditional starch and plant protein, animal collagen has more excellent emulsifying function, playing the role of water and oil retention, and the addition amount is significantly reduced, greatly reducing the production cost; and

[0095] (4) The preparation of the complementary food composition of the present invention adopts a special smoking process, which not only endows the complementary food meat products with a strong meat flavor but also gives the products a unique smoked flavor, significantly improving the palatability-inducing effect. Therefore, the complementary food composition of the present invention is a food with high palatability. Detailed Embodiments

[0143] Example 3. Comparison of the feeding rates of the complementary food composition of the present invention and the control complementary food composition

[0144] The feeding rate of the test animals was measured by the double - bowl method. The test process is as follows:

[0145] Select 10 healthy weaned small dogs aged 1 - 4 months, divide them into five groups, provide two food bowls of the same material and size for each group, and place 100 g of the complementary food composition I of the present invention and the control complementary food composition I in each food bowl respectively. Feed them once at 2:00 pm every day, weigh and record the average remaining amount of complementary food for 10 dogs. The Δ feeding rate can be obtained by comparing the consumed complementary food with the control group.

[0146] Table 1. Feeding rate test

[0147]

[0148] The test results are shown in Table 1. The feeding rate of the complementary food composition I of the present invention is higher than that of the control complementary food composition I every day from the 1st to the 5th day. The experimental group is about 1.43 - 2.37 times that of the control group; the total average feeding rate of the complementary food composition I of the present invention is significantly higher than that of the control complementary food composition I. The experimental group is about 1.78 times that of the control group, and the total average Δ feeding rate value of the complementary food composition I of the present invention is 77.60%.

[0149] Therefore, compared with the control complementary food composition, the complementary food composition of the present invention can significantly improve the feeding rate of weaned animals.

[0150] Example 4. Comparison of the palatability of the complementary food composition of the present invention and the control complementary food composition

[0151] The palatability was determined by the double - bowl method through testing the first - bite preference of pets. The test process is as follows:

[0152] Select 10 weaned cats in good health, aged 1 - 4 months, and divide them into five groups. Provide two food bowls of the same material and size for each group. Place 30 grams of the complementary food composition II of the present invention and the control complementary food composition II in each food bowl. Conduct feeding at 2:00 pm every day on time, and record the first - bite preference of each cat to determine palatability.

[0153] Table 2. First - bite preference test

[0154]

[0155]

[0156] The test results are shown in Table 2. The first - bite preference of the complementary food composition II of the present invention is higher than that of the control complementary food composition I every day from the 1st to the 5th day, and the Δ first - bite preference value is 40% - 100%; compared with the control complementary food composition I, the total Δ first - bite preference value of the complementary food composition II of the present invention is 80%.

[0158] Example 5. Health benefits of the complementary food composition of the present invention

[0159] Conduct in - vivo verification experiments on the health benefits of the complementary food compositions I and II of the present invention and the control complementary food compositions I and II respectively. The process and results of the experiment are as follows:

[0160] Select 60 weaned cats in good health, aged 1 - 4 months, and randomly divide them into 4 groups, with 15 cats in each group. Feed them with the complementary food compositions I and II of the present invention and the control complementary food compositions I and II for 30 days respectively. Randomly observe the feeding status (the number of times with a feeding rate reduction of more than 15% / 100 times), fecal status (the number of times of soft stools or diarrhea / 100 times), and mental status (the number of times of listlessness (including but not limited to lack of exercise, curling up, reduced interest, and lethargy) / 100 times) of the cats in each group 100 times during the 30 days.

[0161] Table 3. In - vivo test of health benefits

[0162] Group Feeding Status Fecal Status Mental Status The complementary food composition I of the present invention 1 / 100 1 / 100 2 / 100 Control complementary food composition I 15 / 100 5 / 100 11 / 100 The complementary food composition II of the present invention 1 / 100 1 / 100 0 / 100 Control complementary food composition II 12 / 100 8 / 100 13 / 100

[0163] The experimental results are shown in Table 3. The feeding states, fecal states, and mental states of the animals fed with the complementary food compositions I and II of the present invention are significantly better than those of the control complementary food compositions I and II. Specifically, the feeding state is improved by 91.7% - 93.3%; the fecal state is improved by 80% - 87.5%; the mental state is improved by 81.8% - 100%.
