Minced Chicken Carcass !!!

[drid 22]

I hate slime that appears on minced chicken so for that reason I feed em whole or in half or quarters, but always on bone

[drid 22]

Its only slime if u use plates with small holes. I got a plate with 8mm holes. And its alot better !!

When mincing chicken carcasses i put a carcasses threw a handful of dry grub a couple of slices of brown bread and any veg laying about

better still use 10 mm plates lot better

the important thing is to feed the dog a good mix of feed.

i'm steering away from nuts/dry "dog food", as it is shite in a bag. the dogs pen smells terrible when fed on nuts, and turds are loose.

on minced chicken, rice and left over veg the turds are as hard as a whores heart. easy lifted and no smell.

fresh bones are great for keeping dogs busy, and good for jaws and teeth.

 

i don't think dogs need bread or rice, as they don't process the carbs, but its left overs and its a sin to waste it.

 

i did a test on my lurcher, put down a few bowls, 1 had chicken leg bones, 1 had same but minced, 1 had pasta onion and carrots with sausage, 1 with redmills tracker and the fecker lifted the peanut butter sandwich i had sitting on the patio table.

Maybe he was trying to tell you that he needed more oil/fat in his diet

I get the skin put into the chicken mince. There is no shortage of oil in the skin.

Dog gets very good variety in diet. So peanut butter was purely a taste preference

I can see the logic in feeding raw carcasses but I can't get past the mental block of being told as a kid not to give dogs small bones as they might splinter.

I have chickened out and buy pet mince and ox livers from the butcher that I mix with chopped carrot and apples etc.

Only on my first lurcher and so new to the breed. I am now reading through RUNNING DOG MAINTENANCE regarding feeding and mincing does sound good.

I wish I had the nerve to try full chicken carcasses with bones. Probably better for the dog and woud save me buying denta chews and cow hooves !

[irishnut 297]

You only need to worry about cooked chicken bones. They splinter into needle sharp pieces

If you freeze the carcasses slightly they go through the mincer better and come out a better texture, not a greasy mess................
