Method for manufacturing functional feed for companion animals and functional feed produced thereby

The present invention relates to functional feed for companion animals, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing functional feed that can improve the palatability of companion animals such as dogs or cats raised at home and help promote their health, and to functional feed manufactured thereby.

As the national income level increases and the family structure becomes nuclear, the number of households raising pets such as pet dogs and cats is increasing. As such, the number of pets raised in each household is increasing, and as they are managed with relative affection, the life span of pets is increasing compared to the past. In addition, as interest in pet-related industries such as pet cafes and pet restaurants increases and the industry becomes more active, the pet food industry is also releasing eco-friendly feed and high-quality food.

In the case of pet food, it should not only be convenient and hygienic, but also provide the nutrition that pets need, and should contain an appropriate amount of essential nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins.

However, as the number of households raising pets indoors, such as apartments and villas, rather than in the yards of single-family homes is increasing exponentially, diseases are occurring due to problems in lifestyle as they abandon their natural lives and live in a human-friendly environment. The biggest part of these is the lack of exercise in pets due to indoor living, obesity or constipation due to overnutrition, skin diseases caused by insufficient sunlight, and patellar dislocation caused by weakened bones.

Accordingly, recently, health feed containing various functional ingredients that can help the health of pets has been released.

However, the health feed in the above-mentioned conventional technology had a problem in that companion animals showed rejection due to the peculiar odor of the functional ingredient.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

The embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. The present embodiments are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Accordingly, the shapes of components, etc., depicted in the drawings may be exaggerated in order to emphasize a clearer description. It should be noted that in each drawing, the same components are sometimes depicted with the same reference numerals. In addition, detailed descriptions of functions and configurations of known technologies that are judged to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention may be omitted.

First, the process for manufacturing functional feed for companion animals according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows through the flow chart of Fig. 1.

<Raw Material Preparation Stage>(ST 1)

Raw materials prepared for the implementation of the present invention are prepared in powder form as raw materials that can help the health of companion animals, such as marigold extract, milk thistle, glucosamine, chondroitin, fish collagen, propolis, coenzyme, zinc, chlorella extract, and/or hyaluronic acid.

<Raw Material Mixing Stage>(ST 2)

Afterwards, the prepared raw materials are placed into a mixer and mixed evenly.

It is preferable that the above raw materials be mixed in a ratio of 15 to 25 wt% of marigold extract, 10 to 20 wt% of milk thistle, 10 to 20 wt% of glucosamine, 5 to 20 wt% of chondroitin, 5 to 15 wt% of fish collagen, 10 to 20 wt% of propolis, 1 to 10 wt% of coenzyme, 1 to 10 wt% of zinc, 1 to 5 wt% of chlorella extract, and 1 to 5 wt% of hyaluronic acid.

<Stage of adding pollack powder>(ST 3)

Afterwards, dried pollack powder is additionally added to the above mixed raw materials.

At this time, it is preferable that the added pollack powder be made in the same amount as the raw material powder prepared in ST 1.

<Drying stage>(ST 4)

In this way, functional feed with added pollack powder is placed in a mixer, stirred, and then dried.

<Packaging Stage>(ST 5)

Afterwards, the functional feed that has been dried is packaged into units of a certain weight and packaging is performed.

The functional feed of the present invention manufactured through this process is fed to companion animals such as dogs and cats, and when fed as an addition to regular feed or fed alone, it can improve functionality because it contains a large amount of ingredients beneficial to the health of companion animals.

Therefore, the functional feed manufacturing method of the present invention exhibits the effect of improving the efficiency of feeding by reducing the off-flavor of the functional raw material by the dried pollack powder component when feeding the powdered feed containing functional ingredients capable of enhancing the immunity of companion animals alone or in combination. The functional raw material has an off-flavor that companion animals refuse to eat, but by mixing in an equal amount of dried pollack powder, the off-flavor is covered up, making it easy to feed to companion animals.

Meanwhile, FIG. 2 shows a feed manufacturing process according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the step of adding dried pollack powder (ST 3), a first cutting step (ST 3-1) of first cutting dried pollack into a certain size and an immersion step (ST 3-2) of immersing the cut dried pollack (10) in sterilized water (20) for 1 to 2 hours as shown in FIG. 3 are performed. After that, dried pollack powder is added by putting it into a grinder and grinding it into powder form.

At this time, it is preferable that the sterilizing water (20) be a mixed composition in a ratio of 60 to 75 wt% of alkaline ion water, 5 to 10 wt% of phenylalanine, 5 to 15 wt% of tetraethoxysilane, 1 to 10 wt% of chlorous acid, 1 to 5 wt% of cypress extract, 1 to 10 wt% of sodium benzoate, 1 to 5 wt% of adipic acid, 1 to 5 wt% of acetylsalicylic acid, and 1 to 3 wt% of methyl ethyl ketone.

In addition, in the immersion step (ST 3-2), the dried pollack (20) taken out from the sterilizing water (20) after immersion is placed in a vacuum chamber (30) having a cross-sectional structure as shown in Fig. 4, and then a process is carried out in which an ultraviolet lamp (40) is irradiated for a certain period of time in a vacuum state while supplying a vapor solution through a steam nozzle (50).

Meanwhile, in the raw material mixing step (ST 2) of the present embodiment, beta-carotene, magnesium stearate, and Bacillus subtilis components are additionally mixed in amounts of 1 to 5 parts by weight.

When the feed is manufactured through this manufacturing process, a sterilizing effect can be exhibited on the surface of the dried pollack by immersing the dried pollack (10) cut into a certain size in sterilizing water.

In particular, since phenylalanine and tetraethoxysilane components are mixed in the sterilizing water (20), the removal of foreign substances and sterilization efficiency can be improved, chlorous acid prevents deterioration of alkaline ion water, and sodium benzoate improves the penetration efficiency of the sterilizing water. In addition, the additionally added adipic acid maintains the persistence of the scent of the pollack and prevents scent dispersion, and acetylsalicylic acid and methyl ethyl ketone exhibit advanced effects of preventing bubble formation by allowing the sterilizing water to be stably deposited on the surface of the pollack (10), respectively.

In addition, the cut dried pollack (10) that has been sterilized and immersed in this manner is subjected to a post-treatment using ultraviolet light in a vacuum chamber (30) before grinding, and a process of supplying a chemical liquid in the form of vapor through a steam nozzle (50) is performed. At this time, the supplied vapor chemical liquid has a mixed composition of hexabromobenzene, polyethylene glycol, and Azotobacter microorganisms, and through the implementation of this additional process, the sterilization efficiency is further maximized and the sustainability of the dried pollack flavor can be improved. In particular, since the vapor chemical liquid contains Azotobacter microorganisms, it performs a digestion-promoting function, and hexabromobenzene exhibits the advantage of improving the adhesive efficiency of the chemical liquid.

In addition, in the raw material mixing step (ST 2) where the crushed pollack powder is mixed, beta-carotene, magnesium stearate, and Bacillus subtilis are mixed in an amount of 1 to 5 parts by weight. At this time, the mixing of magnesium stearate and Bacillus subtilis provides an additional functionality of preventing deterioration during the distribution process of the feed.

And, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the method for manufacturing functional feed of the present invention can be implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.

For example, in the above embodiment, the process of manufacturing powdered feed has been described, but if necessary, functional feed can be manufactured in the form of wet extrusion or injection.

Therefore, such modified embodiments should not be understood separately from the technical spirit or scope of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should be included within the appended claims of the present invention.
