  • Heart Health Through Whole Foods
    Heart Health Through Whole Foods Certain whole foods in a diet can ultimately provide heart-healthy benefits. The right foods consumed in the right amounts can help lower cholesterol and/or triglycerides. They may also help to reduce risk for heart disease. Even though the benefits of whole foods may be known, too often individuals turn to over-the-counter supplements instead. It is important to discuss all supplements prior to ingestion with your physician. Individuals may not realize that taking some supplements with certain medications may be harmful or that taking too much of a good thing can be bad. The purpose of this session is to educate how to obtain certain nutrients through whole foods rather then through supplements. It must be noted that some individuals may still need supplements in addition to diet. Once again this should be guided by a physician.

    Dear dog lovers, At DUCK we have been making natural food for dogs since 1970. Right here in Belgium. In fact, we were the pioneers of deep-frozen dog food on the Belgian market. Now, 50 years later, we still stand for knowhow, trust and top quality. Thanks to our experience, we know the meat market inside out, which enables us to buy the best quality ingredients. At DUCK we are convinced that the best food for our dogs is the food that best suits their nature. As far as DUCK is concerned, it is not sufficient to just give a dog any food. It needs the right food, and for that it is important to understand the animal. To be able to assess its needs correctly you have to know where it comes from. And to attach importance to its nature. And to nature itself. In the coming pages, we explain the importance of natural raw food, what are the advantages and how we ensure our food is as close to the dog’s natural diet as possible. I hope you enjoy reading it! King regards, Philippe Straetmans, CEO & Pets Lover YOUR DOG, A REAL MEAT EATER Whether your dog is called Zac, Lenny or Rover, he’s sure to be your most We may not take the needed time to think, but we are not naive, and we all faithful friend. You want him to be in peak condition, so you care about what know that our dogs are meat eater by nature. Good nutrition is not fashion he eats.

Significant differences were observed in final body weight (BW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) due to feeding diets containing different types of oils. The diet containing 3% cod liver oil or linseed oil produced the best BW (81.69, 82.55), WG (34.53, 35.82), SGR (0.94, 0.93) and FCR (1.99, 1.94). Whereas, the diet containing a blend of CLO and LO (1:1) at 3% showed the poorest growth performance (BW, WG, SGR and FCR).
