[0002] Pets, also known as companion animals, primarily include cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, and parrots. They are animals that require human care and nurturing, forming strong partnerships with people and providing emotional comfort. With socioeconomic development and improved living standards, people are keeping pets to fulfill their spiritual needs. The emotional value of pets to their owners is becoming increasingly important, and many pets are considered family members. Pet nutrition differs significantly from traditional livestock and poultry nutrition. Pets serve as companions and emotional support, while traditional livestock and poultry production focuses primarily on economic returns.

[0003] Healthy skin and bright fur can enhance the appearance of companion animals. How to maintain the health of pets' fur is becoming more and more of a concern for pet owners. At present, pet nutrition research at home and abroad is still in its infancy and the research level needs to be improved.

[0004] Prior art CN118901935 A discloses a simple food for improving the brightness of pet dog's hair, which solves the problem of dull color of pet's hair. However, it uses a method of extracting traditional Chinese medicine instead of fermenting fermented products.

[0005] Prior art CN117355221 A discloses a pet food composition, which is mainly intended to solve pet intestinal problems and does not involve improving pet hair quality.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a food that has good palatability, helps pet hair growth, and makes hair smooth. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present application provides a pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats. In order to solve the existing problems of dull, tangled and falling pet hair, the present application provides a food composition that can significantly improve the smoothness of pet dogs and cats' hair and promote hair growth. The food composition uses duck meat, black rice, rice, corn and black beans as raw materials, does not add various preservatives and additives, and has a scientific ratio of various nutritional components, which is beneficial to the growth of pet hair and improves the problem of dull and tangled hair.

[0008] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats, wherein the composition is composed of duck meat powder, rice, black rice, corn, black beans, cellulose, fish oil, fermented products and minerals.

[0009] Furthermore, the pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats comprises, by weight, 30-32 parts of duck meal, 20-25 parts of rice, 15-18 parts of black rice, 5-6 parts of corn, 3-5 parts of black beans, 5-10 parts of cellulose, 9-10 parts of fish oil, 2-5 parts of fermented products, and 2-4 parts of minerals; Furthermore, the minerals include macro minerals and trace minerals; the macro minerals include 0.5-1 parts of calcium, 0.1-0.5 parts of phosphorus, 0.1-0.2 parts of magnesium, and 0.1-0.2 parts of sulfur; the trace minerals include 0.1-0.5 parts of iron, 0.1-0.5 parts of copper, 0.2-0.5 parts of zinc, 0.1-0.2 parts of manganese, 0.1-0.2 parts of selenium, 0.1-0.2 parts of iodine, and 0.1-0.2 parts of cobalt; Furthermore, the fermentation product includes non-viable, non-pathogenic yeast, bifidobacteria, nicotinamide and cellulose in a ratio of 1:1:1:1; Furthermore, the cellulose is composed of soluble cellulose pectin and phospholipids in a mass ratio of 1:1.

[0010] Another aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing pet food, which includes a fermentation preparation process and a finished product preparation process.

[0013] Furthermore, the finished product preparation method and the cold air drying technology prevent the loss of nutrients while retaining the taste of the food.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are: (1) The present invention prepares a pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats. The synergistic effect of yeast and bifidobacteria is that yeast accelerates the decomposition of macromolecular organic matter by secreting extracellular enzymes, generating fermentable intermediates such as ethanol, and provides a carbon source for bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria utilize sugars produced by yeast metabolism for anaerobic fermentation to generate short-chain fatty acids and lactic acid, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria. (2) Secondly, nicotinamide is added. Nicotinamide has strong reducing properties and can enhance the stability of the bacterial colony and reduce bacterial autolysis during the fermentation process; (3) Then, cellulose is added. The pectin and phospholipids in cellulose can provide a stable growth environment for microorganisms and improve the uniformity of the product. They can also enhance the viscosity of the fermentation product and thicken it. (4) Rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iodine, cobalt and other elements, which play an important role in maintaining the health of pet hair; (5) Fish oil can regulate blood lipids, enhance immunity, improve brain function, etc.; (6) The protein content in duck meat meal is 60%-70%, and it contains essential amino acids for pets (such as lysine and methionine). It is rich in nutrition and beneficial to the growth and development of pets.

[0015] Compared with conventional food compositions for pet dogs and cats, the food composition of the present invention has the effects of helping pets grow hair and making hair smooth. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] For a better understanding of the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention, all numerals expressing amounts, percentages, and other numerical values ​​used in this application should be understood as being modified by the word "about" in all cases. Each numerical parameter should at least be considered to be obtained in light of the number of reported significant digits and by conventional rounding methods.

[0019] All components used in the present invention can be purchased commercially.

[0020] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, which, however, do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0021] To achieve the above-mentioned first purpose, the present application proposes a pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats, which comprises, by weight, 30-32 parts of duck meat meal, 20-25 parts of rice, 15-18 parts of black rice, 5-6 parts of corn, 3-5 parts of black beans, 5-10 parts of cellulose, 9-10 parts of fish oil, 2-5 parts of fermented products and 2-4 parts of minerals.

[0022] Furthermore, the minerals include macrominerals and trace minerals; the macrominerals include 0.5-1 parts of calcium, 0.1-0.5 parts of phosphorus, 0.1-0.2 parts of magnesium, and 0.1-0.2 parts of sulfur; the trace minerals include 0.1-0.5 parts of iron, 0.1-0.5 parts of copper, 0.2-0.5 parts of zinc, 0.1-0.2 parts of manganese, 0.1-0.2 parts of selenium, 0.1-0.2 parts of iodine, and 0.1-0.2 parts of cobalt; the fermentation product includes non-viable, non-pathogenic yeast, bifidobacteria, nicotinamide and cellulose, and the ratio is 1:1:1:1.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, a pet food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats uses duck meat powder as the main raw material, without any additives that attract food. The raw materials are natural and rich in nutrients. Fermented products, fish oil, minerals, and water are added, and the various nutrients are scientifically proportioned to promote pet hair growth and reduce hair loss. The composition also takes into account the taste and flavor, resulting in good palatability. Among them, duck meat powder contains a large amount of high-quality amino acids, which is nutritious and beneficial to the growth and development of pets. It is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iodine, and cobalt, which play an important role in maintaining the health of pets' hair. However, excessive supplementation of trace elements is harmful to the pet's body, so a scientific proportion is used. The nicotinamide fiber fermentation mixture helps produce healthy sebum and prevents hair from drying and falling out. Experiments and actual use have shown that this ratio is the optimal nutritional ratio, which is beneficial to the growth and development of pets and the healthy growth of hair.

[0024] Fermentation Preparation Example 1: Step A: placing the saccharomyces cerevisiae and bifidobacteria in a culture medium comprising 90% glucose, 7% corn steep liquor, and 3% phosphate, and culturing overnight at 35° C. for 24 hours to obtain a co-cultured fermentation product of the saccharomyces cerevisiae and bifidobacteria, wherein the pH value is between 2.8 and 3.5, and the synergistic effect of the bifidobacteria and saccharomyces cerevisiae can inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and pathogens; Step B: Nicotinamide and cellulose are added to the fermentation product of the co-culture of yeast and bifidobacteria after overnight culture, and cultured at 33°C for 12 hours. Nicotinamide enhances the stability of the bacterial flora, reduces colony autolysis, and improves the palatability of the fermentation product; the pectin and phospholipids in the cellulose can provide a stable growth environment for microorganisms, reduce fermentation time, improve product uniformity, and enhance the viscosity of the fermentation product. The mixture is then sterilized at a high temperature of 120°C for 15 minutes to obtain a nicotinamide fiber fermentation mixture.

[0025] Fermentation Preparation Example 2: Step A: placing the saccharomyces cerevisiae and bifidobacteria in a culture medium comprising 90% glucose, 7% corn steep liquor, and 3% phosphate, wherein the pH value is between 2.8 and 3.5; and culturing overnight at 35° C. for 24 hours to obtain a co-cultured fermentation product of the yeast and bifidobacteria, wherein the synergistic effect of the bifidobacteria and yeast can inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and pathogens; Step B: adding nicotinamide to the fermentation product of the co-cultured yeast and bifidobacterium after overnight culture, culturing at 33° C. for 12 hours to enhance the stability of the bacterial flora and improve the palatability of the fermentation product, and sterilizing at a high temperature of 120° C. for 15 minutes to obtain a nicotinamide mixture. Nicotinamide can enhance the stability of the bacterial colony and reduce bacterial autolysis.

[0026] Fermentation Preparation Example 3: The saccharomyces cerevisiae and bifidobacteria are placed in a culture medium comprising 90% glucose solution, 7% corn steep liquor and 3% phosphate, wherein the pH value is between 2.8 and 3.5; and cultured overnight at 35° C. for 24 hours to obtain a co-cultured fermentation product of the saccharomyces cerevisiae and bifidobacteria, wherein the synergistic effect of the bifidobacteria and saccharomyces cerevisiae can inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and pathogens. Example 1-8: Food composition for improving hair quality of pet dogs and cats (1) The raw material combination of the food composition for improving the hair quality of pet dogs and cats is shown in Table 1: Table 1 Food composition for improving hair quality of pet dogs and cats
