From the Tibetan mastiff dogs can reflect the biological characteristics of the Tibetan Mastiff is a partial carnivorous omnivorous animals, a wide range of long-term ingestion of animal food. Tibetan mastiff dogs from food intake to obtain the required life-sustaining activities of various proteins, to ensure that their protein and balanced nutritional needs.
Tibetan mastiff obtained from food proteins on the dogs body are important. Tibetan mastiff proteins constitute an important element of body, Tibetan Mastiff individual, and the supply of adequate quantity of protein to ensure growth and development of Tibetan mastiff nutritional needs. Proteins are used to maintain the body’s metabolism in dogs, to ensure that cells and tissues of the update, the Tibetan Mastiff is to maintain strong quality or physical body, to maintain its inherent resistance to disease, fertility and the ability to work, therefore, is the possession of a protein the basic material of life. The basic structure of protein is the amino acid, the Tibetan Mastiff in the lack of feed protein or essential amino acids that dogs can not feed nutrition to meet their nutritional needs, nutritional imbalance. The short term, the possession of a body can use proteins or amino acid reserve in order to maintain basic life activities, but if the long-term lack of feed protein, or poor quality protein feed, lack of Tibetan mastiff dogs in vivo protein synthesis of the essential amino acids needed that will cause Tibetan Mastiff severe malnutrition, a variety of tissues and organs dysfunction, growth and development delay, delay, weight loss, immunity decreased, decreased resistance to disease. Public desire to reduce dog, a small number of sperm, poor sperm quality, abnormal sperm increased, low sperm motility. Bitch appeared malnourished, coarse hair disorder, abnormal estrus, infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, reduced reproductive capacity, has important physiological functions of protein synthesis blocked and even metabolic disorders, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system and other functions disorders, with very serious consequences.
Tibetan mastiff in the country of origin, the Tibetan Mastiff general protein deficiency does not occur. Tibetan mastiff dogs from a variety of food composed of livestock, wild animals, meat, bones, skin, blood and viscera of the composition of these foods are rich in animal protein, possible to meet the Tibetan Mastiff in the physiological state under different nutritional needs . However, in the Mainland of China under artificial conditions in captivity, as the food, great changes have taken place in the composition is generally difficult to guarantee that every day, bone-meal is rich in livestock and poultry can be provided for the Tibetan mastiff dogs, most of what the situation or what he fed, or protein feed by, the relatively poor quality of most of the vegetable protein or offensive by the Tibetan Mastiff’s aquatic products, pose a serious threat to Tibetan mastiff dogs loss of appetite and the nutritional balance of protein. Tibetan Mastiff in the feed every day, we must supply adequate protein, especially animal protein. Data shows that accounted for by the protein content of feed dry matter, the Tibetan Mastiff in the protein content of feed must be kept more than 30% in breast-feeding, weaning, breeding period and growth period, the protein level of feed to reach 40% about. Source of protein is meat, animal offal, skeleton and blood of pork skin and eggs, if the conditions can also be fed regularly to a point of living material (not only the ferocity of its degree of culture and in vivo have nutrients are cooked cooked food unparalleled by far)
A large class of carbohydrates is very important after the protein nutrients. Carbohydrates can be transformed into body fat, milk fat, glycogen or muscle glycogen million Tibetan mastiff dogs in storage, for use from time to time. Under normal physiological conditions, the carbohydrates in the Tibetan mastiff dogs were bio-oxidation production of heat, the Tibetan mastiff dogs to maintain a constant temperature to ensure that the lives of the Tibetan Mastiff Tibetan mastiff to play a dynamic and ability to work dogs, play a crucial role. Carbohydrates, mainly refers to grass seed crops in the starch, sugar and crude fiber, such as, for example, wheat, corn, rice, sorghum and other processed products of food crops. It is widely used as feed Tibetan mastiff dogs. However, due to the Tibetan Mastiff’s stomach does not contain enzymes to digest cellulose, the Tibetan Mastiff and has a feeding rough, devoured, inadequate chewing, etc., combined with short bowel, eat the food in the digestive tract stay only about three hours , and possession of a crude fiber of feed utilization of the capacity of poor digestion. Crude fiber feed mainly Tibetan mastiff stimulate gastrointestinal motility, to speed up the digestive tract contents of the discharge and clean up the role of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a feeling of hunger for possession, resulting in loss of appetite. Tibetan Mastiff in the composition of the feed to the dry matter, the general view that the crude fiber content of no more than 5%, too much can not be used, but the feed will affect the digestibility of other nutrients, the impact of other nutrients absorption and utilization. In many areas of the Mainland of China, the use of cornmeal, wheat flour, rice and other carbohydrates as the possession of a feed, these substances are rich in starch, and easy to digest, can be widely used. Possession of a raw starch but it is difficult to digest should be cooked after the feeding. Tibetan mastiff adult dogs in the feed, the proportion of carbohydrates in general can reach 60%, and stage of growth and development in the Tibetan mastiff dogs bred fed carbohydrate per day per kilogram of body weight 21 grams.
