Appl. No.:

6/946370

Inventors:

David A. Andersen - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Wescotek, Inc. - Long Beach CA

International Classification:

A01N 2500
A23L 0000

US Classification:

424 84

Abstract:

A fly attractant composition includes a quantity of poultry protein wherein the poultry protein includes a quantity of at lesat one protein digestive microorganism capable of digesting the protein. This microorganism can either be native to the protein or it can be added as an inoculum. Further the composition contains a quantity of a carbohydrate which is capable of being fermented to yield carbon dioxide as a fermentation product. Additionally the composition contains a quantity of at least one carbohydrate fermentation microorganism which is capable of fermenting the carbohydrate to release carbon dioxide. When water is added to the fly attractant composition to form a fly lure, the carbon dioxide from the fermenting carbohydrate drives off odors from the ingredients which attracts flies to the lure.

International Classification:

A23L 131
A23L 1317

US Classification:

426 92

Abstract:

A highly palatable and long lasting dog chew for pets has been developed by combining a formulation and processing sequence which results in a highly palatable meat based filling being incorporated into the center of a preformed rawhide stick or rawhide roll. Such outside rawhide fraction is extremely tough and chewy which results in a dog chew which takes a long period of time for the dog to consume. The inside meat filling is highly palatable which results in the animal maintaining interest in the treat until nearly the entire chew has been consumed. The interior meat filling is preserved by reduced water activity to below 0. 85 as a result of incorporating of salt, sugars and natural humectants. Said filling is formulated and processed in such a manner that the water phase is bound within the filling and does not pass by capillary action to the outside rawhide fraction. This results in the outer rawhide shell maintaining a tough and chewable texture until such point as the dog is offered the finished chew.

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426635

Abstract:

A low calorie dog treat is composed of food grade cellulose, a unique binder system holding the matrix, a combination of various color and flavor ingredients, and salt. The product contains only a few calories and can be consumed in large quantities by a dog without contributing to an obesity problem. The product is designed to compete with existing pet treats such as dog jerky, biscuits and bone shaped treats, and it is preferably amenable for use as a very few calorie pet food. The reduced number of calories in the dog treat is related to the fact that the cellulose material is composed primarily of fiber and therefore is not digested by the dog. The gum or binder system used in the formulation is also non-caloric. The product is produced by using existing processing equipment or by adapting such equipment relatively easily to applicants' methods. The product is produced by a process that is novel and that uniquely provides unexpected results in solidifying a mixture with a high amount of food grade cellulose.

Abstract:

A chew stick for dogs made from strips of beef bladders or esophagus formed into sticks and infused with a solution of water, syrup and gelatin, and humectant, and other ingredients, and colored for appearance, and then heated to dehydrate the chew to about 8% to 14% moisture content to achieve the finished product. The stick may also be coated with a mixture of emulsified meat, such as beef, starch, flavoring extract, oil, and water, to give it an attractive flavoring and toughness as a finished product.
