Been offered by local farm shop a full cut of untreated (not bleached) tripe, anyone fed this before and whats the nutrition in it?

 

Only bleached for human consumption. I feed tripe. The protein content isn't that great but it's cheap and easy to get. Would need to be fed in addition to a quality mixer. Years ago I used to feed tripe and sheeps heads. The dogs did really well on it - they'll eat the whole sheep's head apart from the lower jaw and teeth. Had to watch the bone intake though as their stools could become really hard. Puppies used to love split open sheep's heads.

always feed raw, and green, very good stuff weather its winter, summer etc, as said its a good source as a mixed and varied diet in a dogs diet

My Sal loves it!

 

I used to be a comunity care worker, and worked with the elderly.

I would quite often call into a butchers on the way to work to pick up some that I was asked to by an elderly client.

It was clean white stuff.

 

He never cooked it when I was around, so never knew much about it.

Then started giving Aladdin Green tripe, as I was told it was great for him.

 

GOD THE SMELL!

I Micro'd it the first time to warm it a little as it was winter, and god it stunk the whole house out.

Glad it was the old guy eating it and not me I can tell you.

Been told the white stuff from butchers aint half as bad as the green stuff.

The actual green fury part is all the grassy left overs in the stomach aint it?

I think.

True it can be hard to get hold of, my contact has gone quiet of late, but used to get 10 at a time, and still warm

The meat suppliers like Anglian Meat Products do produce it minced (free flow) and its not bad at all, just not as full of the good green stuff.

 

Good basis for a natural diet IMO.
