Freeze-dried chicken
Chicken is one of the most widely used and core sources of animal protein in pet feed. Chicken freeze-drying is currently a very popular ingredient in the pet food market, widely regarded as an important form of high-end snacks and high-quality staple foods due to its characteristic of "restoring raw meat and blood". Usually referring to fresh chicken with high moisture content, adding fresh meat directly to puffed food requires high process requirements (to solve the problem of excessive moisture), but it is the main raw material in wet food (canned food). Freeze dried chicken: Vacuum freeze-drying technology (-40 ℃) is used to remove moisture but retain the fiber structure and natural nutrients of the chicken. This form is usually used as a snack or staple food ingredient, with excellent palatability and no additives. Chicken freeze-drying is not simply "drying", but uses vacuum freeze-drying technology. Principle: Fresh chicken is rapidly frozen at a low temperature of -35 ℃ to -40 ℃, and then the moisture is directly sublimated from solid (ice) to gaseous (water vapor) in a vacuum environment. Advantage: This process avoids the damage of high temperature to nutrients. Compared to traditional drying, freeze-drying can retain 90% -98% of the original nutrients (such as protein, vitamins, natural enzymes) and can be stored for a long time without the need for preservatives. Freeze dried snacks (pure meat pellets/raw cuts) are the purest form and are usually used as rewards, training snacks, or as food mixes. Ingredients: The vast majority of products use 100% pure chicken breast meat, and some products may add chicken liver (to supplement trace elements) or egg yolk (rich in lecithin and hair beauty). Features: No starch, no grains, no attractants. Due to the removal of moisture, the protein content is extremely high, usually ≥ 80%, and even up to 90% or more. Freeze dried staple food (whole price raw bone and meat) is a "main meal" that can completely replace dry food. Ingredients: In addition to chicken meat (muscle), internal organs (such as chicken heart, chicken liver), bones (or calcium carbonate), and necessary vitamins and minerals are added in scientific proportions to meet the full nutritional needs of pets. Features: Simulate the primitive hunting structure of cats/dogs (muscles: viscera: bones), with crude protein typically between 45% -55% and moderate fat content.
