Meat/Bone/Organ Ratio 0% Meat / 75% Bone / 25% Organ Nutrition and Benefits • Brains are considered a secreting organ. Generally speaking, secreting organs should make up 10% of the total diet, with 5% of the secreting organ being Liver. The other 5% should include appropriate amounts of Kidney, Pancreas, Brain, Spleen, Thymus, the Testicles and/or Ovaries, when possible. • Organs are densely packed with just about every nutrient. This includes B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, folic acid, & B12). Organ meats are also loaded with minerals like phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium and iodine, and provide the important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. • Taurine is found in most animal proteins, but the highest concentration is in the brain and heart. Taurine supports brain, eye, and heart function, and helps regulate the immune system. Helpful Tips and Reminders 🐕 Dogs prefer red meats, but poultry is good for rotation. 🐈 Cats typically do well with poultry. ➡️ Cats cannot produce taurine, like Dogs can. This means that taurine is essential for felines and taurine needs added in the diet as the body cannot manufacture taurine. • Heads can be added to low bone and organ content foods to increase the amount of bone and organ ratios in the diet.
