OMG.... WAY COOL!!!!

Do you want to know all the nutrients you are feeding with your raw menu items??

This piece of software does it - I now know that I am short of Vit D, E, Zinc and Magnesium... (need to check if my Nupro covers those or not - Nupro was not an available ingredient to add to the diet).

The free download does have limitations... but it was pretty easy to use for a quick check of your raw diet.

I'm not affiliated with this group in any way... I only have access to the free version.

Since Denna doesn't consume a lot of bone, I've been wondering what she's missing out on, so I'm currently reading a journal article on the nutrient/mineral content of bone... and they used this software for their research & analysis of raw diets fed in Germany.
Here's the link to the article, if you're interested: British Journal of Nutrition - Intake of minerals, trace elements and vitamins in bone and raw food rations in adult dogs - Cambridge Journals Online


Enjoy!

From the journal article:

A range of 10,000IU to 120,000IU of Vitamin A per 100g of beef liver has been reported for slaughtered cattle...
That is a BIG range!!

Cool is an understatement! I needed something new to play with while I'm on restricted activity following surgery! :)
