feeding dogs eggs

[Blue one 89]

There is a small study in humans that suggest better digestion when cooked, "The higher digestibility of cooked egg protein presumably results from structural changes in the protein molecule induced by heating, thereby enabling the digestive enzymes to gain broader access to the peptide bonds." ( http://jn.nutrition....28/10/1716.full ) Dogs have a reasonable comparable system, but there should be more than enough protein in the diet to make the difference negligible. The same would hold true for vitamins unless a very excessive egg intake was fed.

The shell is made up of grit that the hens eat so feeding the shell is just feeding grit., doesn't add much to the diet, small increased risk of infection perhaps but basically doesn't do much good probably doesn't do much harm either.

ehhh shells made of calcium ye thick c**t grits for there gizzard to grind there food thick c**t!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

spot on.

That's what I was going to say (although that's not quite how I would have put it ).

Lol, at old timer and blue one, funny they eat it every day but don't end up with a full crop! Perhaps the grit mixes with the food it has ground and so is passed down into the digestion and is used as part of the structure of the shells. Don’t feed it and they lay soft shelled eggs, funny that. No one said shells don't contain calcium just that they would add little to the diet. A normal diet either complete or raw will supply more than enough calcium. As I said likely do no harm or good from the shell, and eggs being cooked or raw makes little real difference.

(Calcium carbonate is an inorganic form of calcium, it is a common substance found as rock in all parts of the world, and is the main component of seashells, snails, and eggshell Studies show that only about 2% of calcium carbonate is absorbed by the body)

i feed eggs raw to my dogs and i throw the shell in with there food if the eat it great it save me putting it in the bin, pups i like to give them scrambled eggs with natural yogurt, eggs are cheap to buy and are highly nutritious,

ian billinghust-give your dog a bone

they are one ofthe cheapest sources of high quality protiein and essential fatty acids you can buy. eggs are a whole food. they contain all the nutrient required for the growth of a new chicken. not only that, eggs are always available, and they come completely unproccessed.........raw

think of protein -think of eggs

how is a shell just made of grit mate ye chat utter rubbish pal

[sandymere 8,263]

Lol think it says it in the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Calcium carbonate is an inorganic form of calcium, it is a common substance found as rock in all parts of the world, and is the main component of seashells, snails, and eggshell Studies show that only about 2% of calcium carbonate is absorbed by the body)

What did you think they were made of? Bit like asking how feathers are made out of corn, the body uses substrates to manufacture various end products that at first glance may not resemble the original product, shells are around 98% calcium carbonate. Basically grit is likely from a calcium carbonate substrate; in caged birds ground mollusc shell is often used. If there isn't adequate dietary substrate then a bird may us skeletal sources of calcium for egg shell formation but with modern supplementation or free range birds this is not usually needed.

So no one denies that shell are made of calcium but that that calcium is of little use and even if it was is hardly needed by any dog fed a half reasonable diet.

Ignorance is only skin deep but stupidity runs right to the bone.

Kept fowels for the last 10 years, i dont feed them grit, they dont lay soft shelled eggs but i have noticed my garden,s top soil is a foot lower than it was before i got the fowels , and while iam at it, i give my pup a scrambled egg every morning, but would,nt dream of giving him one raw though, i would have thought cooked egg would be easyer to digest than raw but i dont know were i gleen,d that from.

After reading John Kohnke's book " Veterinary Advice For Greyhound Owners", I par boil all my eggs for dogs.

2 people on here who's

Advce I and others would swear by and adhere to- skycat and sandymere

[Gunner123 103]

Had a dog that would loose coat around parts of his body due to feeding raw eggs. Cooked only.

 

@ Veedublee; try google , everyone else does LOL

[B.P.R 2,798]

Don't believe everything you read on google

 

Sandymere and skycat give sound advice I'll only feed mine cooked from now on.

Dont believe everything you read on here either!
