abstract
Dog loaf was prepared using different percentages of slaughter house meat byproducts (Goat) and wheat flour at different percentages along with other non-meat ingredients and thus, three formulations were prepared i.e. 40% meat by-products+ 45.8 wheat flour (Treatment I), 50% meat by-products+ 35.8wheat flour (Treatment II) and 60% meat by-products+ 25.8 wheat flour (Treatment III).These products were packed in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags and sealed using the vacuum packaging method and kept at refrigeration temperature (4°C±1°C) for quality assessment. No significant differences were found in pH, crude protein, ether extract and Total ash in prepared dog loaves. However, significant difference could be observed in moisture, carbohydrate and calorie of the samples. The shelf life of the products was found to be safe up to 15 days under vacuum packaging at refrigerated temperature. The products were offered to dogs for sensory evaluation and found to be acceptable.
