There are twenty-two amino acids, each of which has been studied both for its composition and its essentiality. Of these, ten are absolutely essential to life and as far as is known must be part of the diet of all pets. These are: Argentine, histamine, insolvencies, Lucien, lysine, phenyl, threnodies, cryptophytes, va line.
Cosine contain sulphur. The most satisfactory way to feed sulphur is not as the element, because as such it is not absorbed, but as one of these two amino acids from which ample sulphur is available. Wheat, meat, fish, milk, yeast, and egg are excellent sources of both cosine and mentioning.
The proteins found in various foods have unequal properties. Milk proteins possess all of the essential amino acids, and all are digestible.But corn, with its protein called zen, is not complete and is less val u-able to feed to pets. Here, taking milk as a standard, are the relative values of the proteins found in some common dog foods:
Most proteins contain more than one amino acid. Some protein shave one complete amino acid and others incomplete ones. Proteins,with different assortments of amino acids, can be mixed to pro-since complete rations of amino acids. Cornmeal and horsemeat, milk and cereals, alfalfa with wheat or oat flour all are compatible mix-tues. Even meat protein can be supplemented to advantage. It is the mixtures of proteins that produce the almost limitless variety in diets,varying flavors, aromas, and appearances.
Protein Requirements. If you could feed just the minimum of compete proteins, the average adult dog of any breed could probably get along on a diet that included 4 to 6 percent of available protein, and the growing dog on 15 percent. Nearly all pet foods and rations contain over 20 percent of protein mixtures, some complete, some incomplete, some supplementing others so the results are excellent. Protein is used primarily in building the body. Some is burned as energy, the nitrogen passing out in the urine, but protein foods, such as meat, are not primarily energy foods. Hunters mistakenly think they most feed their dogs great quantities of meat while the dogs are hunting but all species get their energy best from fats and carbohydrates.
Too many pet owners feel that since they prefer to have their veterinarian deal with all serious pct problems, there is no necessity for them to be able to handle difficult or unpleasant situations themselves. People who feel this way should remember, however, that emergencies have a way of happening at inconvenient moments. Even in metropolitan areas there often are times when a veterinarian is not immediately available, and in most regions of the country it may well take several hours to reach a veterinarian. As long as that is true, the owner who doesn't take the trouble to find out what he or she can do to help a pectin an emergency is risking the dog's life foolishly.
Any owner can be and should be prepared to administer first aid to an injured pet. He or she should know how to restrain an dog that is frightened or in pain so that it will not harm itself or others. An owner should know how to stop the flow of blood from a wound, how to relieve the pain as much as possible, how to protect the pet until the veterinarian is available. He or she should know what not to do. The skills and techniques are not difficult to learn or to apply. They are available to everyone the cheapest and best insurance a person can get against the loss of a pet.
