Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing sausage-shaped pet food and the sausage-shaped pet food. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sausage for pet food that can stimulate the appetite of pets such as dogs and cats, and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Pet food, such as dog food, is generally referred to as a complete nutritional food, and if you feed it only that, it will be able to survive without any problems. However, pet food has problems in terms of cost and shelf life, and many pets (dogs, cats, etc.) do not like it. As a result, many pet owners struggle to make their pet food by adding toppings or by making everything by hand.

[0003] On the other hand, sausages (including wieners) are usually produced by mincing raw materials (mainly meat), kneading them to create viscosity, and then stuffing them into a casing such as a sheep intestine. At this time, it is known that water is added and kneaded to make the sausage juicy (for example, paragraphs 0002 and 0018 of the specification of Patent Document 1). Furthermore, during the kneading process that creates viscosity, about 10% of the ingredients are added and kneaded together to prevent the fat from melting (for example, paragraph 0007 of the specification of Patent Document 2).

[0004] However, for example, the sausages described in these documents may be good for human consumption, but are not necessarily suitable for use as pet food. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4061509 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 4640875 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for producing sausage-shaped pet food that can increase the appetite of pets, and the sausage-shaped pet food. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the method for producing a sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention comprises: The method is characterized in that the production of the sausage-shaped pet food includes a step of adding frozen bone broth to the raw materials of the sausage-shaped pet food and kneading them.

[0008] Since this sausage-shaped pet food manufacturing method is the above-mentioned method, frozen bone broth can be added instead of water or ice in the conventional sausage manufacturing process. Bone broth is a stock made by simmering bones or meat with bones. Although it is gelatinous at room temperature, the use of frozen bone broth in the present invention makes it possible to prevent the fat from melting during the kneading process.

[0009] According to the method for producing sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention, it is possible to obtain sausage-shaped pet food in which the fat is less likely to melt during the kneading process and the bone broth is in a gelatinous state at room temperature, making it easy to handle. When feeding your pet, simply heat the sausage-shaped pet food, which melts the bone broth and releases a lot of juice. Therefore, when mixed with or topped on dry food, the aroma and moisture will permeate the food. As a result, you can easily give your pet warm, palatable pet food.

[0010] As described above, according to the method for producing sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention, it is possible to produce sausage-shaped pet food that can stimulate the appetite of pets.

[0011] In the method for producing this sausage-shaped pet food, The bone broth content is preferably 5% by weight or more and 15% by weight or less. By configuring the food in this manner, it is possible to obtain a sausage-shaped pet food that is easy to handle and that is more palatable to pets. If the bone broth content is less than 5% by weight, the amount of gravy and aroma will be reduced when mixed with or topped on dry food, etc., and pets will not be very likely to eat it. On the other hand, if the bone broth content exceeds 15% by weight, the sausage will not be able to retain moisture inside, and moisture will leak out of the casing, making it difficult to maintain its shape. It will become mushy and difficult to handle. In contrast, by setting the bone broth content to 5% by weight or more and 15% by weight or less, it is possible to obtain a sausage-shaped pet food that is easy to handle and that is more palatable to pets.

[0012] In order to solve the above problems, the sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention comprises: This sausage-shaped pet food is characterized by containing 5% by weight or more and 15% by weight or less of bone broth.

[0013] The sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention provides the following effects. When feeding your pet, simply heat this sausage-shaped pet food, which melts the bone broth and releases a lot of juice. Therefore, when mixed with or topped on dry food, the aroma and moisture will permeate the entire food. As a result, you can easily give your pet warm, palatable pet food.

[0014] As described above, the sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention can stimulate a pet's appetite.

[0015] Furthermore, since the bone broth content is between 5% and 15% by weight, it is possible to obtain a sausage-shaped pet food that is easy to handle and that is more palatable to pets.

[0016] It should be noted that the present invention does not completely exclude the addition of water or ice in amounts less than that of bone broth. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] [Figure 1] Figures (1), (2), and (3) show ingredient lists for Examples 1, 2, and 3 of the sausage-shaped pet food according to the present invention, respectively. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment and an example of the method for producing sausage-shaped pet food and the sausage-shaped pet food according to the present invention will be described, although the present invention is not limited to these embodiment and example.

[0019] The sausage-shaped pet food manufacturing method and sausage-shaped pet food of this embodiment can be produced according to a typical sausage manufacturing method, except that the raw meat is livestock meat (e.g., beef, pork, horse, mutton, goat), edible meat (e.g., rabbit, poultry), or meat substitute, and frozen bone broth is added to the raw meat. For example, the meat is chopped into pieces of approximately 3 to 5 mm using a chopper, and frozen bone broth, salt, seasonings, spices, etc. are added, and then a meat paste is made using a silent cutter. This paste can be stuffed into a casing such as sheep intestine, pig intestine, cow intestine, collagen casing, or synthetic casing, the surface is dried, smoked, and then heated with water, steam, or the like for sterilization, followed by cooling.

[0020] While typical sausages consumed by humans contain additives such as salt, seasonings, spices, and nitrites, as mentioned above, pets do not require salt, etc. Furthermore, considering the health of pets and assuming that they will be stored frozen, it is desirable to produce sausages using a method that adds only bone broth in addition to the main ingredients of meat or meat substitute.

[0021] It is also desirable to use goat intestines as the casing, as they are stronger and have a higher water retention capacity than sheep intestines.

[0022] While typical sausages eaten by humans are often smoked, sausage-shaped pet food is often stored frozen, so it is preferable to produce it without smoking. However, this does not mean that the smoking process is invalid.

[0023] Example 1 90 parts by weight of the main ingredient (beef) and 10 parts by weight of frozen bone broth were chopped and then cut into a paste using a cutter, which was then stuffed into a casing using a stuffing machine, and then heated and cooled to produce a sausage (the sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention). The sausage of Example 1 was subjected to a component analysis by near-infrared reflectance method by requesting Fukushima Prefecture Food Production Cooperative, and the results obtained are shown in FIG. 1(1).

[0024] <Example 2> 90 parts by weight of the main ingredient (pork) and 10 parts by weight of frozen bone broth were chopped, then cut into a paste using a cutter, which was then stuffed into a casing using a stuffing machine, and then heated and cooled to produce a sausage (the sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention). The sausage of Example 2 was subjected to a component analysis by near-infrared reflectance method requested of Fukushima Prefecture Food Production Cooperative, and the results obtained are shown in FIG. 1(2).

[0025] Example 3 90 parts by weight of the main ingredient (horse meat) and 10 parts by weight of frozen bone broth were chopped, then cut into a paste using a cutter, which was then stuffed into a casing using a stuffing machine, and then heated and cooled to produce a sausage (sausage-shaped pet food of the present invention). The sausage of Example 3 was subjected to a component analysis by near-infrared reflectance method requested of Fukushima Prefecture Food Production Cooperative, and the results obtained are shown in FIG. 1(3).

[0026] The sausage-shaped pet foods of the above examples were heated in a microwave oven, the bone broth was melted to make a gravy, and the pet food was topped on dry food and given to the applicant's pet dogs. In all examples, the dogs showed significantly increased appetite compared to when conventional commercially available sausages were topped on dry food.

[0027] Although one embodiment and one example of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment or example, and can be modified appropriately within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
