PROTEIN IN DOG FOOD.
Dogs rely on protein to provide muscle building blocks and essential amino acids that are necessary for vital cell processes.The lack of protein in diet results in lean muscles,reduced energy,the immune system is compromised and coat is dry and flaky.
The sources of protein for dog food may be plant-derived or animal-derived but the important index for selecting a protein source is the biological value.The biological value of protein refers to the availability of the protein in the food to the dog,foods with high biological value are the most suitable sources releasing the necessary nutrients because they are readily digestible.
Foods that contain protein of low biological value are not easily digested resulting in low availability of protein to the dog and resultant deficiency.When a dog food is to be assessed ,the protein level must be ascertained to be of high biological value.Proteins of high biological value are expensive so when incorporated to dog food raises the cost while low protein of low biological value are cheap making such dog food cheap.
Foods of high biological value are 1) eggs; these are of high biological value ,they are readily accessible in the diet especially when boiled.Eggs hold a higher value than meat.
Fish; these include tuna,salmon and fishes high in fish oil because of omega3fatty acids,that helps to give coat a shiny coat.
Meat ; beef,chicken,turkey,duck and lamb.
The nutritive value of beef is drawn out by drying,then pulverizing, the water ,fat is removed then the remnant is ground into powder and incorporated into meal.This makes the meat readily digestible,making all nutrients available.
Protein of low biological value include animal by-products such as hair,hooves,horn and feathers.Dog food that will provide the necessary protein level must have a high biological value ,the higher the value the more digestible the food and the less waste the dog will produce.

FOOD FRAUD.
This refers to illegal practices in the food industry,where food producers/vendors are substituting other food stuff which are substandard ,unhealthy and usually offered at cheap prices.The food fraud is usually done by adulteration of food with chemicals,additives and colors to present to unsuspecting consumers as wholesome.
This food fraud has been going on for sometime,but the rise in rate of recalls has beamed more light on these illegal activities.The chemicals,additives have been discovered to be carcinogenic,opening up another dimension to this fraudulent activity.
This food fraud only makes us ask what are we eating???what are the producers fiddling with???............so many questions.A large number of companies have been fingered in this adulteration,but China has popped up a lot of times, where chicken and pork are mixed with additives and cut in blocks and sold as beef.
There are cases where packaged dog meat is sold in supermarkets, which pops the question again what are we eating? dog meat,horse meat or engineered meat??? your guess is as good as mine.
The food fraud has really spread its tentacles from beef to fish to honey to cashew nut to alcohol to beer the list is endless.
We really need to check our food sources and who is bringing what to our table.............how do we monitor what is in our markets? trace- ability ?,compliance with food safety regulations??? according to Times Mag; 2,500 tons of food we consume are fake, this is really alarming.
