Chicken By-Product Meal

[claybuster]

I welcome CBPM in my dogs diet. I know it is there to for a reason and that is to deliver what the dog needs most. Carnivore style rations with focus on animal source proteins and the avoidance of gluten. I feel it is very beneficial for my dog.

I think its garbage. It's an over priced sensationalized book with a lot of half truths in it. It proves that anyone can sell anything no matter how worthless over the internet.

And haven't several of us said that before? How about if you stop posting that crap here!?!?

Oh wait, I suppose Big Dog Man is the author! Hahahaha! It's still crap, and has nothing to do with any of the threads you've attached it to.

Please stop.

CBPM is also a welcomed ingredient in foods I feed my dogs. We used to raise chickens and when the dogs "got" one, they ate everything including the beaks and feet...and left the feathers. They were one bunch of healthy dogs! We stopped raising chickens for obvious reasons :)

Article from Abady on by-product meals:

by-products

I think it is a great article and they know how to feed carnivores!

[RawFedDogs]

Some of what they say in this article is correct and other things, not so much so. Remember this is promotional material from a dog food company. It is not scientific research. They want to leave you with the impression that carnivores in the wild live almost exclusively on the by-products of their prey. In fact, by-products make up a small part of the carcass. Muscle meat is by far the most prevelant part of a wild carnivores diet. Yes, by-products are a part of the diet but only something like 10% to 15% of the diet. Most carnivores will not eat intestines or intestinal contents which is the greatest bulk of by-products.

Quote from another article titled "How to Choose..."

The nutritional significance of by-products can be verified by the following observation. There is a pond on the property of the Abady testing facilities which is visited by wild geese and ducks. There are also a number of resident foxes on the property that don’t mind helping themselves to a duck or goose dinner from time to time. (Foxes are close relatives of dogs). The foxes eat only the head, feet, and internal organs including the intestines (today they are called by-products). They don’t touch the muscle meat presumably because the feathers are attached and are indigestible. Luckily for them that they don’t read the WDJ and discover that they should not be eating such stuff.
