Digestibility
Freeze-dried dog treats offer a healthier alternative to kibble, created from raw ingredients that have been freeze-dried at low temperatures in order to preserve nutrients and flavor while eliminating unnecessary additives.
Lack of moisture prevents yeast and other unwanted bacteria from growing on food or treats that have been freeze dried, while their protein structures remain undamaged, providing healthy skin and coat care benefits.
Primal Pet Foods conducted research that shows both dogs and cats’ digestive systems can easily process raw foods made of low-temperature freeze-dried salmon treats. A precision-fed cecectomized rooster model was utilized to assess amino acid digestibility across three frozen forms of raw foods.
Results indicated that all three freeze-dried formulations of raw meals and treats demonstrated acceptable digestibility when compared with commercial dry dog food, without any differences in apparent faecal digestibility based on weight, age, sex status or neuter status.
