Ke koho ʻana i ka meaʻai olakino no nā pōpoki: nā mea āpau e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike e pili ana iā ia

E like me ʻoe, pono kāu pōpoki i ka meaʻai olakino a me ka ʻai kaulike i kēlā me kēia manawa o kona ola e ulu ai. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hānai i kāna salakeke no ka ʻaina ahiahi a ʻōlelo maikaʻi. Hāʻawi ka meaʻai kūpono i ka ulu ʻana o ka pipi a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ulu ʻana o ka pōpoki i ka wā makua. Pono ʻo ia e loaʻa i nā meaʻai momona no ka ulu kūpono. Eia ka mea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meaʻai popoki olakino.

ʻO nā protein, nā kalapona a me nā momona

ʻO nā koho meaʻai popoki maikaʻi loa i loaʻa nā meaʻai pono no ka ʻai kaulike. Ma waho aʻe o ka wai maʻemaʻe maʻemaʻe, ʻo nā koi maʻamau o ka pōpoki no ke ola olakino e komo pū me ka meaʻai kaulike i loaʻa nā meaʻai e like me nā proteins, nā ʻakika a me nā momona. Kōkua lākou i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻiʻo o kāu pōpoki, ka ʻili, a me ka ʻahu. He mea koʻikoʻi nā kalapona no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka ikehu, e ʻae ai i ka holoholona e ola e like me ka hiki no ka manawa lōʻihi.

Nā mea nui

Ke hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻimi i kahi meaʻai e pono ai kāu pipi, e ʻike maʻamau ʻoe i kēia mau mea i helu ʻia ma kēlā me kēia lepili:

• ʻO ka moa, ka bale, ka pipi, ka tuna, ke kulina, a me nā hua hua maloʻo he kumu maikaʻi loa ia o ka protein.
• ʻO ka ʻaila iʻa a me ka ʻaila soya. Pono nā momona no ka ʻai popoki olakino, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu.
• palaoa palaoa piha. ʻO nā kalapona e hāʻawi ai i kou hoa huluhulu i ka ikehu
• ʻO nā momona momona omega-3 a me omega-6. Aia i loko o ka ʻaila iʻa, nā hua manu a me ka hua flax. ʻO kēia mau momona e kōkua i kāu pōpoki e loaʻa kahi ʻaʻahu maikaʻi a me ka ʻili maʻemaʻe.
• Kaluma. Kākoʻo kēia meaʻai i nā iwi a me nā ʻiʻo ikaika a olakino.
• ʻO nā huaora E a me C ke pale nei kēia mau huaʻai ʻelua i nā pūnaewele o ka pōpoki ma ka mālama ʻana i ke ʻano o ke kino.

ʻO nā mea e nānā ai

E nānā pono i ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ʻana o ka meaʻai pōpoki. E like me nā lepili meaʻai kanaka, hiki ke huikau ka heluhelu ʻana i nā lepili meaʻai holoholona i ka wā mua.

Pono ʻoe e aʻo e hoʻomaopopo i ka huaʻōlelo ma nā lepili meaʻai pōpoki. Inā hoʻolaha ʻia kahi meaʻai i loko o kahi meaʻai hoʻokahi, e like me ka "moa", "tuna", "beef" a me nā mea like, pono e loaʻa i ka 95% o ia ʻano ʻiʻo, e like me nā ʻōlelo a ka ʻAhahui ʻAmelika. o ka State Animal Feed Control (Association of American Feed Control Officials, AAFCO), e like me ka PetMD. A ʻo kēlā me kēia huaʻōlelo e pili ana i ka preposition "me", e like me "me ka moa", ʻo ia ka mea pono e hoʻokomo i ka meaʻai ma kahi o 3% o kēia mea.

No ka laʻana, no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka lepili meaʻai pipi i ka US, pono ia e hoʻokō i nā pae hoʻohālikelike i hoʻokumu ʻia no kēlā me kēia mokuʻāina e ka AAFCO, kahi i hana ʻia e nā mea hoʻoikaika aupuni e hoʻomohala i nā alakaʻi hōʻailona meaʻai holoholona. ʻO kēia pūʻulu ke kuleana no ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā lula pili. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻaʻike aku i nā luna hoʻoponopono ma kou wahi no ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka lepili a me nā alakaʻi hoʻopili a hoʻokaʻawale i nā koho meaʻai a kāu pōpoki.

ʻO kekahi mea ʻē aʻe e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia ʻo nā huaʻōlelo lapaʻau ʻenehana maʻalahi e aʻo a maʻalahi loa no ka lepili meaʻai pipi. ʻO kēia kahi i komo hou ai ʻo AAFCO, e ʻike pono i ka mea i loko o ka meaʻai pipi a wehewehe i ke ʻano o nā huaʻōlelo kamaʻāina ʻole. ʻO ka Taurine, no ka laʻana, he kani kemika. Akā, he amino acid maoli ia i loaʻa i loko o nā kumu protein holoholona i mea nui no ka ʻike maka o ka pōpoki, ka lolo, a me ka hana puʻuwai.

ʻO ka makahiki a me ke kūlana

Me ka ʻike e pili ana i ka mea maikaʻi no kāu pipi a me ke kumu, aia ʻoe i kahi hana koʻikoʻi: ʻo ka meaʻai e koho ai.

Ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai popoki, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka lapaʻau e mālama pono i kekahi mau mea, e like me ka makahiki o ka holoholona. E hoʻomanaʻo i ka pono o nā pipi i ka meaʻai kūikawā no ka mea e pono ai lākou i kekahi mau meaʻai e ulu ai i ke olakino a ikaika. ʻAʻole paha i loaʻa i ka ʻai popoki i manaʻo ʻia no nā holoholona makua nā meaʻai i mea nui loa no ke kino ulu. E like me ka makahiki o nā pōpoki, ua lohi ko lākou metabolism, no laila, ʻo ka nui o nā meaʻai a me nā calorie e hoʻoulu ai i kahi pipi e ulu e hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ke kaumaha o nā pōpoki kahiko. Hoʻolālā kūikawā ʻia nā huahana Cat e like me Hill's Science Plan e hoʻokō i nā pono o kāu pōpoki ma nā pae like ʻole o kona ola. Inā loaʻa i kāu pipi nā pilikia olakino, e ʻoluʻolu e nīnau me kāu kauka holoholona e pili ana i kahi meaʻai e kōkua iā ia e mālama i ke olakino.

E like me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā meaʻai, pono e hoʻokomo mālie i ka meaʻai hou i loko o ka ʻai a kāu pipi (ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻehiku mau lā a ʻoi aku paha), ʻoi aku ka nui inā he ʻai koho ʻo ia e like me kāna mau holoholona. Pono e ʻimi e ʻimi i kahi meaʻai olakino no kāu pōpoki, akā ʻo ka hana ʻana i nā koho ʻike e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i kona manaʻo maikaʻi a lōʻihi.
