Okay, I may have exaggerated a touch. :oops: The point was though that the reason so many 'nutritional' additives are in animal feed is because they destroy it by high temperature cooking/sanitizing. If food waste was to be made available for livestock, especially from private homes, it...

This would destroy almost all nutrition. That's the reason that most pet foods contain so many additives (as in vitamins and minerals) because the food is killed during processing. Nutrition has to be added back in.

It would unfortunately have to come directly from the producers or manufacturers, due to the possibility of tampering. The main problem nowadays is that North American governments (I can't speak for the rest of the world) has made it nigh impossible for small farms. Subsidies and such all go...

Same! But try to find a good ol' fashioned mutt around here... >.< It's all 'designer' breeds now! For ridiculous amounts.

I have an American Foxhound, lol! An unpopular breed (so not overbred) that actually looks like a dog. And chosen specifically for those reasons. As for genetics, a lot of that can be attributed to feed and care. Neutered male dogs are much more likely to develop hip problems. Overly...

I've made nutrition for my animals (more than for myself *hides head in shame*) a priority for years. I've read many reports, watched many videos, and tried to implement many changes over the years. I'll go through the one you linked (the one on fiber, right?) as it isn't something I've heard...

As well as 'fashion'. The SOP for a lot of animals causes more harm than good. Breeders push that 'perfection' to the point it becomes unhealthy for the animal. One hundred years ago, animals could breathe. Now, a lot of the flat nosed ones need surgery to be able to do this. This is NOT...
