Abstract
The invention relates to an animal feed for dogs or cats based on animal tissue, water, and hydrocolloid as a thickener, wherein the animal feed includes a water content of at least 80% by weight, preferably at least 85% by weight. According to the invention, said feed is liquid at room temperature, has a fat content at least 1% by weight and less than 5% by weight, and is packed in a tubular bag, wherein the top side and the bottom side thereof are welded at a welding surface at a front end and back end of the tubular bag, and a designed fracture point for tearing open the bag is provided at the front end in the welding surface.
Claims21
An animal feed for dogs or cats based upon animal tissue, water and a hydrocolloid as a thickening agent, said animal feed comprising:
- a water content of at least 85 wt %;
- a starch of at least 0.5 wt % and less than 6 wt %, wherein the starch comprises a gluten-free starch and is present in the form of a hydrocolloid;
- a protein content of at least 1 wt % and less than 5 wt %;
- and
- a fat content of at least 1 wt % and less than 5 wt %, said animal feed being packaged inside a tubular pouch, said pouch having a front end, a rear end, an upper side and a lower side, the front end and at the rear end of the pouch the upper side and the lower side being welded together in a welding area, said welding area, at the front end, having a predetermined breaking point for tearing open the pouch;
- wherein the water content, the starch, the protein and the fat content together form a thixotropic liquid at room temperature.
