Reducing food waste will thus help improve sustainability and decrease the environmental impact of the food system. Using food waste for animal feed is of growing importance in terms of the policies targeted at tackling food waste but the current legal framework in the European Union (EU) strongly restricts the possibility of using food waste for this purpose. The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of innovative measures for feed production in the EU and to identify the best strategies to implement them.

  • Pet Food Scheme Purpose of Pet Food Scheme
    Pet Food Scheme Purpose of Pet Food Scheme The Pet Food Scheme consists of quarterly rounds of a pet food ingredient and includes ingredients derived from animal and plant sources. The Scheme also distributes a fifth round of dry pet food coinciding with the Animal Feed Scheme. This dry pet food alternates each year between a dry dog food and dry cat food. Background 2011 AAFCO Mid-Year Meeting Discussion Separate Program for pet food- We have been asked to consider providing a separate program for pet foods that would incorporate samples of finished pet foods (dry and canned products) and ingredients that are used specifically by their industry. A wish-list of potential samples has been provided by a pet food manufacturer that would incorporate a pet food PT sample each month. Discussion raised the following concerns: - State labs performing a variety of testing are already testing a large number of PT samples and may not want the expense or have the time for an additional sample. The existing pet food sample in the regular Program could be maintained and we have the option of offering the pet food sample at reduced cost to State labs that are already in the AAFCO Program and would like to run separate pet food program samples. - Volunteers are busy enough with the regular program; do not want to jeopardize quality of the existing Program. Possible initial “prototype” program offering quarterly samples. Further discussion will continue at the Annual meeting. 2011 AAFCO Annual Meeting Discussion Program expansion - separate Program for pet food. The committee considered options for providing a separate PT program for the pet food industry.

  • What to Look for in Your Dog's Food
    What to Look For in Your Dog’s Food Nutrition for dogs is important, as a high quality diet will help keep your new pet healthy. Just like with people, eating poorly can cause poor health and obesity, and, in animals, a poor coat. A nutritious diet can help prevent health problems. High quality foods may cost more, but could save you trips to the vet. Dogs are carnivores, and a species appropriate diet for must be based on meat, as they have little need of carbohydrates in their diet. Grains are in pet food because they’re cheaper than meat products, and are needed to create kibble. You can tell a lot about the quality of a pet food simply by looking at the list of ingredients on the side of the bag or box. Look for: Meat and fat products that are identified by species, such as “deboned salmon meal.” If the species is not identified (i.e., ingredients include “meat”, “poultry” or “fish” products) then you can’t be sure of the quality. Foods with meat as the first ingredient(s), and starches lower on the list. Carnivorous animals like dogs will find foods high in meat easier to digest and absorb. Grain free foods, when available. When grains are used, look for high quality whole grains such as “whole brown rice.” Whole fruits and vegetables, especially as replacement for grains in food, high up on the ingredients list. Organic ingredients. Avoid: Foods that contain unidentified “meat,” “animal,” “poultry,” or “fish” products in their food. Any sort of meat by-products, especially of an indeterminate origin.

  • Raw Meat Based Diets for Pets
    WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee: Raw Meat Based Diets For Pets What are raw meat based foods? • Foods based on meat, bones, and offal (organ meats) that have not been cooked. • These diets tend to be higher in fat, lower in carbohydrates, and can be highly digestible but raw foods (similar to cooked foods) are not all equal! They vary in ingredients, energy content, and nutritional profile. Are raw meat-based foods healthier than dry or canned pet food? • There is no evidence that raw meat-based diets provide health benefits over commercial or balanced homemade cooked diets. • High fat, low fiber diets (raw, but also cooked) may be well tolerated by many pets, but others will show gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhoea, or even pancreatitis. • There is growing evidence that feeding raw meat can be a health risk both for the pet and the owner. It is important for the practitioner to know when their patients are fed raw meat based diets, as nutritionally imbalanced or contaminated diets may lead to health issues or contribute to clinical signs of disease. Risks • Bones are offered to pets for enjoyment and for perceived dental benefits, however, they can result in broken teeth, Raw meat-based diets have a high risk of bacterial intestinal or oesophageal obstruction, and contamination constipation. • Feeding bones does not reduce the risk of • Raw meat can harbour various bacteria, including plaque or tooth loss due to periodontitis. pathogens.

  • The Pet Food Guessing Game Once You Get Past the Marketing and Product Claims, What Are You Really Feeding Your Pet?
    FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN The pet food guessing game Once you get past the marketing and product claims, what are you really feeding your pet? hen it comes to the best nutrition for your dog or cat, always start at your veterinary Wclinic. There isn’t one right food for every pet, but your veterinary team can guide you to what’s best for you and your pet. Then use this quick guide to help decipher the vast array of marketing claims that often overwhelm the pet food aisle so you can make an informed decision about your pet’s nutrition. THE NAME GAME What’s in a name? > If an ingredient is used in the name of the pet food, such as “Salmon Dog Food,” at least 95 percent of the product must be that ingredient. It should be the first ingredient that appears on the label’s ingredient list. > If the name includes a combination of ingredients, such as “Chicken n’ Liver Dog Food,” the two ingredients must total 95 percent of the product, and there is always a higher percentage of the first ingredient included than the second. > If it’s not an ingredient of animal origin, it doesn’t count. Products such as “Lamb and Rice Dog Food” must still contain at least 95 percent lamb. Ring the dinner bell! > When a pet food name reads “Beef Dinner for Dogs” or any fancy-sounding title that includes “dinner,” “platter,” “entrée,” “nuggets” or “formula,” the named ingredients must comprise at least 25 percent of the product. > A combination of ingredients, such as “Chicken n’ Fish Dinner Cat Food,” must equal a combined 25 percent.

  • AAFCO Dog and Cat Food Nutrient Profiles
    APPENDIX A 1 AAFCO METHODS FOR SUBSTANTIATING NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY OF DOG AND CAT FOODS This section contains the minimum testing methods for the substantiation of nutritional adequacy claims, calorie content claims, and procedures for establishing pet food product families referenced in AAFCO Model Pet Food and Specialty Pet Food Regulations PF2, 4, 7, 8, 9 and/or 10. These methods represent minimum requirements. Companies may choose, or may need, to perform additional testing to substantiate their claims. AAFCO Dog and Cat Food Nutrient Profiles Introduction The original Canine and Feline Nutrition Expert Subcommittees convened in 1990 were charged by the chair of the AAFCO Pet Food Committee to establish practical nutrient profiles for both dog and cat foods based on commonly used ingredients. These subcommittees established the "AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles" and the "AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles" that appeared in the Official Publication of the AAFCO in 1992 and 1993, respectively. The profiles were reviewed in 1994/95 and updates to the maximum concentrations for vitamin A in dog foods were implemented in 1996. The National Research Council (NRC) in 2006 updated its published Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Nutrient Requirements of Cats in a single publication that combined recommendations for both species.1 In 2007 the AAFCO Pet Food Committee again formed Canine and Feline Nutrition Expert Subcommittees and charged these subcommittees with the task of revising the AAFCO Nutrient Profiles in consideration of the information
