Hey everyone, I have been developing an idea to accomplish a few things:
1) Save money on Cat food
2) Use up last year's venison in the freezer
3)throw away less venison trimmings when processing a deer
4)Make a wholesome cat food
I'm starting from ground one, excuse the pun. I would like to come up with a recipe of all the essential nutrients including some unnatural ones like taurine. I know I need to suppliment taurine and fat/fatty acids as well as carbohydrates. I have a grinder, so it will not be difficult to make mix this all up.
I also would like to know the best canning method. The reason I choose to can instead of freezer is freezer space and the difficulty with thawing out a multi-serving package and dealing with a messy bag for a few days. With a decent size mason jar, I can take it out of the garage and put it in the fridge untill used up. It seems much cleaner.
Dog food I'm sure could be done similarly.
Thanks!
