There are too many ways to raise a big dog. Here is a way to save money and work.

I have raised golden retrievers and German shepherds. Now I have 2 border collies and 1 labrador at home.

There are too many ways to raise a big dog. Here is a way to save money and work: “Meat dog farm upgrade”.

It can also be called: “pig feed dog formula.”

1. Piglet concentrated pig feed, cornmeal, corn starch

2. Various cheap meats, more white meat, less red meat, plus offal,

3. Staple foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc., plus some cheap vegetables (for example, cabbage).

4. Add some lard and a small amount of salt, steam dumplings together, and add dog food for each meal to save money.

Pig feed is generally 3-4 yuan per catty, with an average of about 40 proteins. Although it is plant protein, it can also increase the protein content of dog food.

Cheap meat, when chicken breast is cheap, it is 6 yuan per catty, and you can usually buy it for 8 yuan per catty. Pork can be bought for 8 yuan per catty when it is cheap.

Recently, it is 11 yuan per catty here, and minced beef is 4 yuan per catty.

Chicken mash is not recommended, there are too many unscrupulous sellers, and it is not cheap (if you can get good chicken mash at 3-4 yuan per pound, it is also OK.)

Potatoes are 1 to 2 yuan per pound, cabbage is about the same, and carrots are only one or two yuan.

Chicken liver and chicken heart are priced at 2-4 yuan per piece all year round.

I will start to introduce the detailed proportions of the “pig feed dog raising upgrade” dog food for poor dog owners:

5 catties of chicken: 40 yuan (calculated at 8 yuan per catty, I bought 6 or 5 yuan per catty last time.)

2 catties of pork: 22 yuan (calculated at 11 yuan per catty, I usually buy 9-10 yuan per catty)

2 catties of minced beef: 8 yuan

2 catties of chicken liver: 5 yuan

2 catties of chicken hearts: 6 yuan

Lard basically costs nothing, soybean oil is also OK.

2 catties of Chinese cabbage 2 yuan

1 catty of carrots 2

yuan 2 catties of potatoes 4 yuan

3 catties of pig feed 12-16 yuan

with 4-5 catties of cornmeal, 2 or 5 yuan per catty, about 10-13 yuan.

A total of about 25 kilograms of vegetable dumplings, at least 20 kilograms should be left after removing the water. The total cost is 110-120 yuan.

A golden retriever can only eat one kilogram of dog food

if it is fed hard in a day. Each meal is matched with 100-200 grams of dog food (the kind that costs 15 kilograms). It costs about 110 yuan to eat for half a month. If you eat half a kilogram of rice every day, 110 yuan can eat for two months.

If you still think the above ingredient ratio is expensive.

You can reduce meat and change a formula.

2 kilograms of chicken: 16 yuan

2 kilograms of ground beef: 8 yuan

2 kilograms of chicken liver: 5 yuan

2 kilograms of chicken heart: 6 yuan

lard, or soybean oil

2 kilograms of Chinese cabbage: 2 yuan

1 kilogram of carrots: 2 yuan

3 kilograms of potatoes: 6 yuan

3 kilograms of pig feed: 16 yuan

5 kilograms of cornmeal: 6 yuan

A total of 22 kilograms, this formula has less meat, a lower shrinkage rate, and a naturally lower price, and at least 20 kilograms of dry matter are left.

The total amount is about 70 yuan, feed more for half a month, and feed less for a month.

If you can buy cheaper chicken, the price will also go down. The piglet concentrate I bought locally costs 3.5 yuan per catty. Crude protein 40, (the main ingredients are soybean meal and fish meal.)

Adding meat is to make the dog more palatable, including adding oil and salt appropriately.

If you feel that you are lacking in nutrition, you can also give 100 grams of dog food every day to supplement vitamins and trace elements with dog food.

My Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Labrador, each of them eats 100 grams of dog food and a 300-gram vegetable dumpling every day. It’s about 8 taels of rice a day. Those who eat less, only 100 grams of dog food and 200 grams of dumplings. I

add a little more meat, and the average cost is only a few dozen yuan a month.

I can also write down the ingredients of my dog ​​food:

11 pounds of meat: 6 pounds of white meat, 5 pounds of red meat, 4 pounds of liver

3 pounds of vegetables and fruits: 2 pounds of cabbage, 1 pound of carrots

3 pounds of potatoes: 1 pound of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins.

Several eggs + 4 catties of cornmeal + 3 catties of pig feed

can make at least 20 catties, 50% of carbohydrates, 50% of meat, and 20% of vegetables. (About 10%-16% protein per 100 grams of wet food, which is higher than canned dog food.)

300 grams of dumplings… 48 grams of protein.

200 grams of dog food has 66 proteins. Feeding homemade food can barely reach more than 100 proteins.

According to a dog’s weight of 40 catties, about 20 kilograms, 4-8 proteins per kilogram are needed.

Pure 29-protein dog food is recommended for daily meals, and 500 grams are given to a dog weighing 20 kilograms. That is 145 grams. 8 yuan per catty.

300 grams of dumplings can produce about 60 pieces, and the above formula costs 70 yuan.

If you want to compress it to the extreme, you can compress it to 50 yuan.

My dog ​​food costs 10 yuan per catty, which is 4 yuan for 200 grams.

A vegetable dumpling costs 1.4 yuan. It costs about 5 yuan to raise a dog a day.
