As for pets eating grass, is it better to eat dried or sun-dried grass?
Hello, everyone, many friends asked me what is the difference between dried grass and sun-dried grass, because some people recommend eating dried grass, and some recommend eating sun-dried grass. I really don’t know who to listen to. So today, I will analyze with you the difference between the two.
First of all, we need to understand drying and sun-drying. They are two processing techniques that can be used on the same grass. For example, if the same grass is harvested, he can choose to sun-dry it. You can also choose to use a dryer.
First, let’s talk about drying first. The biggest feature of drying is its good quality. You can see that the dried grass is very green and very neat, and the drying process is Compared with sun-drying, it can lock in nutrients better and has a crispy texture. One of the bigger disadvantages is that it is easier to get internal heat. This is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, you will find that when you eat too much grilled or dried food, your throat will really hurt, and you will get internal heat. There are individual differences in the matter of fire. Not every pet will get angry after eating it, but we should be careful when giving food to pets, because it may indeed cause this cause. And the price of drying grass is more expensive than sun-drying.
Second, let’s talk about sun-dried grass. The quality of sun-dried grass is not that good. It is relatively soft and messy, but relatively speaking, its crude fiber It is more flexible, more chewy, easier to grind teeth, and relatively affordable.
Next, I will talk to you about two more controversial topics.
The first one is about palatability. There is no absolute good or bad about this. Some pets like to eat crispy ones, so we choose to dry them. Some like to eat chewy ones, then Let’s choose sun-drying. Another thing is that eating dried food is easy to get angry, so let’s choose sun-drying. And if you think it’s expensive, then choose sun-drying. Do you understand?
The second one is about the problem of insect eggs. Many people say that dried grass cannot kill insect eggs completely. In fact, as for this problem, we can only say that dried grass does have better insecticidal effect. , but as long as it is dried according to the formal process, this is not a big problem. Because the eggs of this kind of parasite are very fragile outside the body, you don't need to worry about this problem if the grass is exposed to the strong sun in June for several days. So when we buy forage and get it home, as long as we open the bag and it smells like grass and doesn't feel wet to the touch, it's OK.
