Notes gathered from precedents

What I have gathered from precedents:

Kibble: 

Lighter and longer shelf life.
Can be exported

Lower quality is filled with grains and additives
Better quality is heated/dried at lower temperatures to avoid denaturing of the proteins

Dehydrated:

Like a jerky

More natural but must be rehydrated

Can be preservative free in appropriate packaging

Meat roll:

The sausage of the petfood world

Good moisture

Able to be exported

Canned:

Risk of BPA in lining
Denaturing of proteins?

Raw meat:

Popular with Raw food diet enthusiasts (BARFS)
Sold frozen
More often sold domestically - I’ve found no evidence of precedent export yet

Wild game:

Demand exceeds supply
Possum, wallaby, goat, hare/rabbit, venison, boar
Areas that are poisoned and known for TB pose risk

Cat’s are obligate carnivores but also need supplimenting e.g. taurine (debateable with raw food enthusiasts)

Dogs are omnivorous and will eat plant matter even in the wild

Global sales estimated at US$76 billion annually

Good meat is sourced from:

Export grade meat
Wild caught
Human grade
Sustainable sources


Consider
-
pouches,
canned,
wet vs dry,
raw vs supplimented,
meat vs meal,
fish meal
good or unsustainable?
