Chicken Nutritional Value - Page 1

I would greatly appreciate if you could give me an answer for the following question:

Do 100gr of chicken breast have the same nutritional value as 100gr of “other chicken parts” such as intestines or any other internal organs?


 

i would say that other chicken parts might contain MORE essential stuff nutrient-wise depending on what else you are feeding the dog.  

In Ian Billinghursts' book 'grow your pups with bones' he certainly rates the bones as being really important.

I feed my dogs (as per his information) with minced whole chicken wings (as the meat source, along with tons of raw fibrous veg and other additives and scraps)  - whole ie with bone in - and have superbly healthy dogs.  What else you feed your dog is v important...if the breast is the only animal protein source I would assert that whilst that might psycologically satisfy an owner with its' expense, lean-ness and all round notion of goodness, we only need to consider the diet of a wild carnivore to note that cases of exclusively muscle fed animals would be pretty rare! in the wild nothing goes to waste...of course if you are dealing with feeding puppies there is no way that all they need is muscle as opposed to bone, bone, bone, offal, feathers, skin, stomach contents (fermented veg matter) etc.  

I understand that kibble style foods are difficult to take seriously as a food source but feeding meat based home made diets is not so simple either.  I suggest looking up " BARF"  website/book  (BONES AND RAW FOOD) and if you are feeding a puppy - look quickly!  The big issue with growing a puppy is supplying the right ratio of raw materials for building bones that develop fully, slowly and into the forms they should assume...the only place where we find all the raw materials to build a bone - is in another bone!
