1. ground yellow corn(黄玉米)玉米被放在所有成分的第一位说明在此产品中玉米占有最大的比例,也就是说此产品最主要的材料是玉米。玉米远远不如大米容易吸收 ,但玉米可以提供植物蛋白质,而这就是此产品中最主要的蛋白质来源。也就是说此产品的蛋白质主要是植物蛋白。 2.brewers rice 一种廉价的谷物。在此产品中居然占第二位,这种情况在一些高端粮食中是肯定不会有的。为什么说是一种廉价谷物。参考文摘见下brewers rice also appears in ingredient lists as ground brewers rice. a processed rice product that is missing many of the nutrients contained in whole ground rice and brown rice. contrary to what many pet food companies want to make you believe, this is not a high quality ingredient, just much cheaper than whole grain rice.
3.chicken by-product meal(鸡肉副产品粉)这就是此产品中少部分动物蛋白质的主要来源。但可以说这种来源是所有级别的肉类中最最差的,非常不安全,营养价值低,并且廉价。 以下排序是根据aafco(美国动物饲粮管理协会)对肉及其相关产品所下的定义而来的。就此产品而言,aafco规定 chicken(真正的鸡肉)要远远好过 chicken meal (鸡肉粉/蓉)要好过 chicken by-product(鸡肉副产品)要好过 chincken by-product meal(鸡肉副产品粉)也就是说鸡肉副产品粉是最最差的肉类产品,所用的材料绝对不是人类可以吃的,一般都是鸡头,鸡嘴巴,鸡脚,甚至鸡羽毛和粪便。营养价值非常之低,并且难以消化。肠胃敏感一点的猫猫就容易拉稀。 4.corn gluten meal (玉米麸粉)一种廉价的营养价值低并且吸收效果不好的谷物。原因见摘录corn gluten meal is an inexpensive by-product of human food processing which offers very little nutritional value and serves mainly to bind food together. it is not a harmful ingredient but should be avoided simply for its poor nutritional value and quality.
7.animal digest,在粮食里这个成分通常是作为调味剂来的。其实就是包裹在粮食外面的那个所谓的汁。但这种表示法表明此成分的来源可以是任何动物,比如老鼠。并且是任何形式的动物,包括4d的动物。参考摘录如下a cooked-down broth made from unspecified parts of unspecified animals. the animals used can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination. any kind of animal can be included: "4-d animals" (dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter), goats, pigs, horses, rats, misc. roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters, restaurant and supermarket refuse and so on. 8.red 40, yellow 5, blue 2 and other color。这些都是色素,此产品中包含的色素颜色十分繁多,但美国fda认为“如果色素不使用过多,就是安全的”但个人认为色素问题,还是没有的好,因为色素会引起一些问题,比如皮肤敏感。
