The true palatability is calculated by comparing it with other products. Generally there are two methods:

Group test

Under the same environmental conditions, adult dogs from the same body type are divided into several groups and fed different feeds respectively. The differences are calculated according to their adult body size. consumption and compare different consumptions. This test should be completed within 1-2 days.

Free feeding observation

Feed a variety of different feeds at the same time. The amount provided should far exceed the requirements and allow the dog to eat freely within 15 minutes. , after selecting the dog, calculate the consumption of each product, repeat it every other day, and take the average value for comparison.

At present, there are three types of dog feed in my country: homemade dog food, accounting for 45.45%; externally produced pellet feed, accounting for 40.91%; and domestically produced pellet feed, accounting for 13.64%. Because the research on the nutritional needs of dogs in various physiological states is relatively lagging behind, the feed fed to dogs in different states in various places is a single type of feed, and some provide appropriate broth. In special situations such as the lactation of bitches, the feed conversion of puppies, the rapid growth of puppies, the care of sick dogs, the high-intensity training of trained dogs, the long-term operation of working dogs, and the stress relief of police dogs under different environmental conditions, dogs' Inadequate targeted nutritional supplementation. Therefore, it has broad development prospects to conduct research on the nutritional needs of dogs in special physiological states and to develop nutritional supplement products in a timely manner.
