Promote muscle growth

Bone meal is a source of protein that contains a large amount of amino acids, especially lysine and isoleucine required for muscle. These amino acids are very important for the muscle growth and maintenance of health of pets. Beef bone meal is added to pet food to meet the pet's protein needs.

 

Support bone health

Bone meal not only contains protein, but also contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for the bone growth and health of pets. Calcium and phosphorus are the main components of bones, and bones need to maintain a certain calcium-phosphorus ratio, so bone meal is added to pet food to support the bone health of pets.


Enhance immunity

Bone meal is rich in collagen, which is very helpful for the immune system of pets. Collagen can increase the resistance of pets and improve their immunity. In addition, bone meal also contains some trace elements, such as zinc, iron, copper, etc., which are also important for the immune system of pets.

P.S. Regarding BARF feeding method

BARF feeding method is a feeding method based on raw food, which is the abbreviation of Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. It emphasizes that pets need to eat food similar to their natural food in order to better absorb the nutrients in it. BARF feeding methods all emphasize respect for the nature of animals and let them eat the food that is most suitable for them, which is also what we should learn.
