The Nutritional Marvel of Chicken Liver

Chicken liver boasts an impressive nutritional profile, making it an ideal ingredient for pet food. With a high protein content of ≥60% (dry basis) and low fat levels of ≤15%, it surpasses most animal offal in terms of nutritional value. Additionally, it is a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin A, with a content ranging from 14,000-25,000 IU/100g, meeting over 300% of the daily requirements for cats and dogs. Chicken liver also contains significant amounts of vitamin B12, which supports hematopoiesis, and iron, which is highly bioavailable. Moreover, it is naturally rich in nucleotides (IMP/GMP), free amino acids (such as glutamic acid and glycine), and other umami substances, enhancing the taste and appeal of pet food. Economically, chicken liver is a cost-effective alternative to beef liver, with domestic chicken liver powder priced at approximately 40-60 yuan/kg and fresh liver at 8-12 yuan/kg. Its high utilization rate as a slaughter by-product ensures a stable supply chain.

Key Processing Technologies for Chicken Liver

To fully harness the potential of chicken liver in pet food production, precise processing techniques are essential. Our pet food making machines are equipped with advanced features to ensure optimal processing of chicken liver. Low-temperature drying below 60℃ is employed to preserve the activity of heat-sensitive vitamins, such as vitamin A. Ultrafine grinding with a particle size of ≤80 mesh ensures uniform dispersion in dry food, preventing agglomeration. Antioxidant treatment, such as the addition of 0.01% rosemary extract, effectively prevents fat oxidation, ensuring the freshness and quality of the final product.

Versatile Application Schemes for Chicken Liver in Pet Food

Chicken liver can be incorporated into various types of pet food, offering versatility and flexibility in product formulation. In dry food, adding 3-5% chicken liver powder (replacing 1/3 of the meat powder) can significantly improve palatability by over 50%. For wet food, using 10-15% fresh chicken liver (compounded with chicken) and adding 0.1% taurine (to compensate for losses during processing) results in a delicious and nutritious product. Freeze-dried snacks made from pure chicken liver freeze-dried blocks (with a slice thickness of 2-3mm and -40℃ vacuum drying) are also a popular choice among pet owners. In dog food, chicken liver can be used as an auxiliary addition. For economic dog food, combining 2-3% chicken liver powder with yeast extract is a cost-effective option. In functional food for elderly dogs, enzymatic chicken liver pulp (0.5-1%) can be used to promote appetite.
