Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to dog food, and more particularly, to a gum-like bait preferably used as a supplement for dogs.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Dogs have the habit of eating up bones and paying attention to this habit, it has been commercialized as a so-called dog gum formed in a bone shape and a stick shape, making teeth and gums strong, relieving stress, etc. Has helped.
At first, this dog gum is obtained by drying and solidifying animal hides such as cowhide, which is almost odorless and lacks palatability.
[0003]
Therefore, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-65098, it is shaped into a bone-type gum made of a material such as dried cowhide, and a flavor such as milk flavor is entirely contained or only an inner core material is contained. is there.
Also, as in JP-A-8-238061, a gum body mainly composed of beef skin is provided with a palatability-enhancing layer mainly composed of a minced body or a paste body of beef, chicken or lamb on the surface. is there.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-65098, although the palatability is improved due to the inclusion of the fragrance, the nutritional aspect has not been considered sufficiently close to before.
In addition, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-238061, if the palatability enhancing layer on the surface is eaten, only the original cowskin will be consumed, resulting in poor eating out.
[0005]
Accordingly, the present invention provides a dog food that does not lose the palatability of the dog to the end and that is sufficiently considered in terms of nutrition, and also does not provide a method for producing the dog food.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0008]
According to the invention of claims 2 to 4, the solid food material to be enclosed therein may be a meat, fish and shellfish, seaweed, vegetable or grain, or a combination of two or more of them as main raw materials. Animal skins such as cow skin, pig skin, and bird skin can be used. If the shape is a bone shape, it will stimulate the dog's habit.
[0009]
Next, in the manufacturing method according to claim 5, several edible skin materials are laid one on another in the female mold, and a standing piece of the skin material is formed on the peripheral wall surface of the female mold with the skin material bent upward. At that time, the food material other than the leather is placed on the uppermost skin material, the tip of the standing piece is folded over the food material, and the whole surface is covered, and then pressed and molded by a male mold and solidified. According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the tip of the upright portion is folded back, and another skin material is further laminated to cover the entire surface of the food material other than the skin.
[0010]
Of the skin material that wraps the food material to be enclosed inside, it is set up on the female peripheral wall to form the bottom part and the side part with the lower layer of skin material, so the side peripheral surface of the product after pressing is It can be composed of a skin material, and food materials other than the skin can be enclosed inside.
[0011]
The invention according to claim 7 is characterized in that the upper / bottom surfaces and the front / rear surfaces are formed, and in the upper surface, one skin material in which at least the ends overlap, and the bottom surface, one side surface and the upper surface. A box formed with two other skins that at least partially polymerize at the bottom surface and the top surface with each other and the one skin material together with the other skin material. It is characterized in that it is housed, pressed with a male mold and solidified by molding, and the invention of claim 8 is characterized in that foodstuffs other than leather are wrapped, dried and solidified.
[0012]
Since the foodstuff to be encapsulated by the skin material is wrapped in a female mold and pressed or dried, only the skin material appears on the outside, and other foodstuffs can be securely enclosed inside.
[0013]
