Ukudla kwekati: yini okufanele ibe ekubunjweni?

Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ikati lakho londlekile kubalulekile empilweni yabo enhle kanye nezinga lempilo. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokugcina isilwane sakho sinempilo ukufunda izithako ekudleni kwaso ezisilungele futhi ezisizuzisayo.

Ilebula elisephaketheni lokudla kwekati libonisa izithako ethini noma esikhwameni, kodwa alikutsheli ukuthi kungani noma kanjani izithako zililungele ikati lakho, ngakho-ke kuwumqondo omuhle ukuthi uzihlomise ngolwazi oluthile ngaphambi kokuya esitolo. Umkhiqizi ngamunye wokudla kwekati unombono wakhe walokho ikati lakho okufanele likudle, futhi abafiki ekuvumelaneni ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ifilosofi ka-Hill yokondleka isekelwe kulezi zimiso ezilandelayo: izithako zekhwalithi ephezulu, ucwaningo kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha “ezinikeza isilinganiso esifanele sezakhi ezibalulekile eziyisihluthulelo sempilo yezilwane ezifuywayo.” Ifomula ngayinye ye-Hill isuselwe ocwaningweni lwesayensi. Ukutadisha izici eziphilayo zamakati kukuvumela ukuthi uqonde ukubaluleka kwesithako ngasinye emzimbeni wesilwane ukuze usinikeze ukudla okulungile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izithako zekhwalithi ephezulu azigcini nje ngokuhlangabezana nezidingo zokudla okunempilo kwezilwane, kodwa futhi zinambitha kahle.

Kufundwa ilebula

Amalebula okudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo kufanele ahambisane nezidingo ze-Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine kanye ne-Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), inhlangano echaza futhi ilawule izithako zanoma yikuphi ukudla kwesilwane esifuywayo. izilwane emakethe. Izimfuneko ze-FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, AAFCO, kanye ne-FEDIAF zinemininingwane eminingi, kuze kube yilapho isithako ngasinye sibhalwe kanjani futhi kanjani. Izithako kumele zibhalwe ngokwehla ngesisindo. 

Isibonelo, umbono oyiphutha ovamile ukuthi ukudla kwenja nekati kuqukethe imikhiqizo yezilwane esezingeni eliphansi. I-AAFCO ichaza igama elithi “inyama” ekudleni kwesilwane esifuywayo, kuze kufike engxenyeni yesilwane engase isetshenziswe noma ingasetshenziswa, futhi ichaza ukuthi ilungiswa kanjani. Inhlangano idinga izinkampani ukuthi zibhale izithako (njenge-ascorbic acid noma uvithamini C) ezikhona njengezithasiselo ukuze zinikeze ukudla okufuywayo okunokulinganisela.

Ukwakheka kokudla kwekati kanye nezinzuzo zezithako

Ngokusho kweCornell Center for Cat Health, ingxenye yeKolishi Lokwelapha Kwezilwane e-Cornell University, izithako ezibaluleke kakhulu zokudla okunomsoco okufanele uzibheke lapho ukhetha ukudla kwekati amaprotheni, amafutha, nama-carbohydrates. Ukudla kwekati kufanele kuhlangabezane nezidingo zalezi zakhi. Njengesilwane esizingelayo ngokuphelele (amakati adinga inyama ukuze aphile), ikati lakho lidinga lezi zithako ukuze lilondoloze impilo enhle kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, incazelo yokuthi "i-predator engenamibandela" ayisho ukuthi ikati alikwazi ukuthola izakhi ezivela emifino, izithelo nezinhlamvu ngaphezu kwenyama. Uhlobo lwenyama ikati lakho elijabulela ukuyidla nalo alubalulekile njengeprotheni eliqukethe. Amaprotheni anempilo angatholakala nakweminye imithombo, njengamaqanda nophizi.

I-VetInfo ibika ukuthi amavithamini namaminerali athile, okuyi-calcium, i-vitamin A, insimbi, i-magnesium, ne-sodium, abalulekile empilweni nasenhlalakahleni yesilwane sakho esifuywayo. Yakhelwe ngokukhethekile amakati, le fomula yokudla yekati ihlanganisa i-docosahexaenoic acid (i-omega-3 fatty acid ebalulekile ekuthuthukiseni ubuchopho namehlo), i-taurine (i-amino acid ebalulekile kumakati ayo yonke iminyaka) kanye ne-folic acid (ekukhuleni kwamangqamuzana), okuyi-amino acid. kubalulekile kwikati lakho ngesikhathi sokukhula nokukhula.

Endle, amakati athola zonke izakhamzimba azidingayo ezilwaneni - amathambo nezinye izingxenye zomzimba. Futhi izakhi ezidingekayo zamakati afuywayo kufanele zinikezwe ukudla okuthengwa ngumnikazi.

Izithako ezifunwayo nezingadingeki

Lapho ukhetha ukudla okwakhelwe kahle kakhulu kwesilwane sakho, bheka ukudla okunikeza zonke izakhamzimba ngaphandle kwezithasiselo.

Izithako ezifana nenyama, imifino nokusanhlamvu kunomsoco omningi ekatini lakho, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uliphekele ukudla okuphekwe ekhaya, khumbula izincomo zeCornell Center futhi uthenge ukudla kunokuba uziphekele wena. Ukuza neresiphi enikeza isilinganiso esifanele sezakhi kunzima kakhulu. Kunalokho, wena nodokotela wakho wezilwane ninganquma ngokuhlanganyela ukuthi yikuphi ukudla okungahlangabezana nezidingo nokunambitha kwesilwane sakho esifuywayo. Kungakho u-Hills eqasha odokotela bezilwane abangaphezu kuka-220 kanye nongoti bezilwane ezifuywayo ukuze banikeze ibhalansi efanele yemisoco yaso sonke isigaba nendlela yokuphila yekati.

Ngokwemithetho ye-AAFCO, izithako “zemvelo” “ziyizithako ezingakahlanganiswa ngamakhemikhali noma ezingahlanganiswanga ngamakhemikhali futhi aziqukethe izithasiselo noma izinto ezisizayo ezenziwe ngamakhemikhali, ngaphandle kwamanani angaba khona. ekusebenzeni okuhle kokukhiqiza." Lapho ukhetha ukudla kwekati okwakhiwe kahle kakhulu, cabanga nge-Hill's, equkethe amaprotheni enkukhu abalulekile, imifino kanye nezinhlamvu njengomthombo wamavithamini namaminerali. Ngakho-ke, khetha ukudla okunomsoco ofanele empilweni yekati lakho, hhayi nje izithako zemvelo.

Ngokusho kwe-AAFCO, izithako ezithile, okuhlanganisa izinongo nezingcaphuno ezifana nejinja, i-chamomile, i-rosemary, ne-fennel, zisetshenziselwa ukuthuthukisa ukunambitheka kunokuba njengomthombo wokudla okunomsoco. Ngakho-ke, lezi zithako azingeziwe ngokuhambisana nezidingo eziphoqelekile zokudla okunokulinganisela kwekati. I-Food and Drug Administration ihlale iqapha ukuthi yiziphi izithako eziyingozi kumakati, njenge-propylene glycol, isithasiselo sokwenziwa esasivinjelwe ukusetshenziswa ekudleni kwekati ngo-2017.

Ezinye izithasiselo ziyimithombo yama-amino acid: L-lysine, L-threonine, DL-tryptophan nabanye abaningi. Ngokusho kwe-AAFCO, lezi zithako kufanele zibhalwe ekubunjweni kokudla kwekati (kukhona nemithetho yokucacisa umthamo wabo ovumelekile).

Ukudla okumanzi nokomile

Omunye umbuzo okufanele uzibuze wona lapho ukhetha ifomula yokudla yekati engcono kakhulu ukuthi ukhetha ukudla okumanzi, ukudla okomile, noma kokubili. Zombili izinhlobo zokudla ziphelele ngokomsoco, ngakho zanelisa ngokulinganayo izidingo zokudla okunomsoco ezilwaneni. Kokubili ukudla okomile nokumanzi kunobuhle nobubi bakho.

Ukudla okusemathinini kulungele ukulawula ingxenye futhi kuqukethe amanzi amaningi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuphuza amanzi anele, ikakhulukazi kumakati agulayo. Nokho, lolu hlobo lokudla lubiza kakhulu kunokudla okomile futhi akulula ukulusebenzisa, ngoba ngemva kokuvula iphakheji, ukudla okusele kufanele kugcinwe esiqandisini, futhi ikati lakho lingase lenqabe ukudla ukudla okubandayo. (Ungashisa kabusha okusele kuhhavini ye-microwave bese upholisa ukudla okushisayo ezingeni lokushisa olifunayo.)

Ukudla okomile kuyindlela enhle njengoba kungagcinwa esikhwameni esivaliwe futhi kungakongela imali uma uthenga ngobuningi. Kodwa-ke, khumbula ukuthi ngisho nokudla okomile kunedethi yokuphelelwa yisikhathi, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi unikeza isilwane sakho ukudla okusha.

Njengoba wazi, amakati adla ngokukhetha, ngakho-ke udinga ukukhetha lokho akuthandayo. Zama ukumupha ukudla okomile nokumanzi. Ungakwazi ukwengeza amanzi ekudleni okomile ukuze kube lula esilwaneni ukuhlafuna, kodwa ubisi akufanele lufakwe.

Ukutadisha ukwakheka kokudla kwekati

Uma ufunda ukwakheka kokudla kwekati, ngokuqinisekile ufuna ukunikeza ikati lakho ukunakekelwa okungcono kakhulu. Usokhaya onolwazi ungumbungazi ovelele. Njengoba ufunda ukwakheka kanye nezithako, cishe uzohlangana namafilosofi okudla okunempilo (njengokungathi uzikhethela ukudla), kanye nolwazi oluningi olungaqinisekisiwe olusekelwe embonweni womuntu siqu. Kubalulekile ukuthi ungabi yisisulu salo mbono ngoba ungabeka impilo yekati lakho engcupheni uma uzama ukulandela izeluleko ku-inthanethi. Ungazethemba izincomo zabangane abaseduze noma amalungu omndeni ngokungangabazeki abakunikeza ngezinjongo ezinhle kakhulu. Ikati ngalinye lihlukile, ngakho-ke kufanelekile ukuliphatha ngendlela efanele. Khuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nokungabaza kwakho mayelana nokudla okuthile ukuze ubone ukuthi ulwazi onalo luthembekile yini. Odokotela bawumthombo onokwethenjelwa kakhulu futhi ofanelekayo wolwazi uma kuziwa ekukhetheni ukudla kwekati okungcono kakhulu.

Uma ufuna ukukushintsha ngokuphelele ukudla, thintana nodokotela wakho wezilwane kuqala. Ukuzenzela izinqumo ngokusekelwe olwazini lwesithako kukodwa kungaba yinkinga, ikakhulukazi uma ufuna ukususa isithako esithile ekudleni kwesilwane sakho esifuywayo. 

Xhumana nodokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze ukhethe ifomula elifanele lokudla kwekati ukuze ukwazi ukunquma ukudla okulinganiselayo komngane wakho onoboya.
