Today, I'd like to share with you the melons of freeze-dried quails by internet celebrities.
Come on ~
Cheap quail freeze-dried bacteria exceeded the standard by x times.
At that time, when I was talking about freeze-dried barrels, I also talked about freeze-dried quail.
The manufacturer told me that quail, as a complete animal, contains internal organs and is more prone to bacterial problems than other meats.
Therefore, there may be many bacteria exceeding the standard in quails that are not sterilized.
I saw two inspection reports at the exhibition site, which showed the difference of bacterial content between freeze-dried quails without irradiation sterilization and those after irradiation sterilization.
The total number of bacteria in unirradiated freeze-dried quail is 640000 cfu/g.
The total number of bacteria in another batch of irradiated freeze-dried quails is1100 cfu/g.
The bacteria content of unirradiated freeze-dried quail is 582 times that of irradiated quail.
The terrible thing is that there is no bacterial standard for pet snacks in China, so even if the bacteria of freeze-dried quail exceed the standard, it is legal in terms of regulations, and you can't find each other.
According to China's dog food standard, the bacteria of this unirradiated quail exceeded the standard by 64 times.
It's scary to exceed the standard, but it's better to freeze-dry it. If you buy the index of normal quail raw material production, the bacteria produced by three manufacturers are more serious.
So don't buy cheap freeze-dried quail. Even if it's not freeze-dried, he will irradiate you. Impossible, wool is on sheep, and irradiation is also an extra cost.
Irradiation sounds scary, but it is actually a very mature non-heating sterilization technology, which can not only sterilize and destroy parasite reproduction, but also cause little damage to nutrition and is very safe.
There is an article about irradiation in the reference article, which was inadvertently written by a person's nutrition blogger squirrel cloud. You can have a look if you are interested, so I won't mention it here.
Matters needing attention in freeze-dried quail
When buying freeze-dried quails, be sure to ask the seller for proof of irradiation or other sterilization methods for each batch. It is best to have the inspection report of the finished product, because without irradiation, no matter how good the raw materials and the production process are, the bacteria may exceed the standard.
Buying snacks is good for cats and dogs, and it doesn't make any sense to be cheap, unhealthy and unsanitary.
Don't buy too cheap, too cheap, all kinds of cost reduction, raw materials, technology, sterilization are discounted.
It is suggested that quail should not buy too big bags. Freeze-dried quails should be opened every day and exposed to the air. If you eat it too long, it will really go bad.
You can look at imported freeze-dried cats and dogs, which are rarely specially packaged.
Quails should not be put together with other freeze-dried, which is easy to stink and spread bacteria to other ingredients that are not easy to produce bacteria. Yes, it is not recommended that you buy a mixed freeze-drying barrel.
Regarding how to look good or bad, if the freeze-dried quail has a taste other than quail, an attractant may be added.
If there is a smell of fuel consumption, it may be some oxidation, which needs attention.
If you have bought different brands, you should have relevant experience.
finally
In short, we must pay attention to cheap, unsterilized, large-packaged and mixed freeze-dried products, which may bring higher risks to cats and dogs.
Freeze-drying is the most advanced and expensive product for cats and dogs. I hope you don't spend a lot of money on the best technology of spicy chicken products to harm your cats and dogs.
