Type in what you want to look up, like "raw chicken" at this site:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

And this site lists an analysis of their green tripe products.

The USDA has a website at

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

When entering search criteria be sure to use the word "raw" like raw
chicken or raw beef etc.

Here's the one that I use.
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

The protein content issue comes up every now and then around here. If
you look at raw food "as fed" it is very low in protein, since most of
the food is actually water content. If you consider the food on a "dry
matter" basis the protein content jumps quite a bit. Regardless of how
you calculate the protein content, it boils down to the fact that raw
protein is high quality easily digested protein.

1f. Free turkey half - Washington DC area
Posted by: "Shelly" StuartLittle@comcast.net stuartjeanlittle
Date: Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:09 am ((PST))

Occasionally I get free or drastically reduced priced meat from the farmer
from whom I get all my food. He vacuum packs everything and freezes it. If
it looses it's vacuum, he can't sell it to people anymore so he sends it for
my dogs. He sends whatever he has so I can't be picky, but my dogs don't
like turkey. It's never been thawed out, just lost the vacuum so it may have
some freezer burn (fine for humans as well, just most humans don't like
freezer burn). My dogs don't mind freezer burn, they just don't like turkey.
This is a large half turkey, split right down the middle, organic, free
range, all that... email me if interested, I need to make room in my freezer
for the whole beef we're getting next month.

Thanks,

Shelly

It actually means nothing. It's a marketing term to make it sound
attractive.

I bought the same ones I think and they have 8% turkey broth solution. I wash it before I hand it to my dog to get some of the broth off. My dog has no problem with it. It really just depends on how your dog handles it.

Subject: [rawfeeding] is this turkey ok to feed???



in our local Stop and shop flyer. they have shady brook farms turkeys on

sale for $.59 a pound. I looked up the description on the company's web site.

this is what it said.

Fresh Whole Turkey

Product Description

Shady Brook Farms® Fresh Whole Turkey is all-natural, minimally processed

with no additives or preservatives.

Is this turkey good to feed to my dogs? What does Minimally processed mean?

They are frozen, so If I thaw them enough to chop them up, is it safe to

refreeze them and feed later? Thanks Lisa

PS small brag. My Raw fed Puppy won his his 1st points at a show this

weekend.

Minimally processed usually means that they have the head, feathers,
feet and "guts" removed. I think that these turkeys would be
great...and that is a good price.
There are "purists" and "non-purists" in this group. You just haved to
sort out the info and do what works for you.
I feed my dogs and fosters chicken from Walmart. It is cheap and it
has saline injected into it. That is the same stuff that they give
your dog IV when it is sick, dehydrated, etc. In all my research, I
have never found that normal saline will hurt a healthy dog. But this
is up to you. You can go totally organic and only feed free range, non
vaccinated, etc animals. Or you can do like some if the rest of us
do. Scavenger for cheap stuff so you can splurge on something when it
is on sale. And speaking of on sale. The day after Thanksgiving most
stores mark down the price of the turkeys dramatically. I got some
last year for 29 cents/pound!

First off, please pretty please with species appropriate condiments
on it remember to trim your posts! There is no need to include the
entire original post and there is no need to send back all Yahoo
stuff below that. Below my signature you will find all the stuff
that rarely needs to be there. Thanks.

Second, enhancements are injected not slathered on the skin, so
rinsing is doing nothing. If your dog is doing will with the
enhanced chicken you fed, it's because it's not bothered by the
saline solution or other chemicals, not because you rinsed it off.

It's possible that the "butterball" kind of turkey has a butter-like
substance (I shudder to think) laarded under the skin for "yum, yum,
slow basting" but that's a different insult than the usual
enhancements.

If you can't find a shred of evidence that the birds have been
injected to compensate for lack of flavor or moisture, I'd say yes
and buy more. If you find that little mousetype legal statement that
says the birds have indeed been injected, then buy one and see how it
goes. I choose not to feed injected turkey but you get to make your
own decisions on this. Fortunately, you can change you mind one way
or the other, as often as you need to.

It means that the bird has been prepared for market using as few
intrusive steps as possible, which is the best we can hope for from
commercially available poultry.

Hi, I find that raw 'green' tripe from cow or lamb is very gentle on
the tummy in small amounts throughout the day, following a fast day.
This seems to work for mine anyway (but be warned of the smell from it
in your house!!!) If you do this it only takes that fast day and the
small meals to sort them out, presuming its not a health issue (which
in your case its not)

When I started feeding raw, my pup was already eating the tripe with
his usual meal so just added chicken. I introduced a new protein
every three days and this seemed fine, I only gave a tiny bit liver
when introduced but if I would be using cooked liver as training
treats then I dont bother giving more as a raw food but will give a
wee bit kidney instead that week.

You will find you soon settle into the way of it and the best thing is
you really get to 'know your dog' in the process. Raw feeding is the
best thing I have done for my dogs health.

I use the freezer as a storage facility. When I get fresh venison I
feed some then freeze the rest for later use. I would be inclined to
let the girl proceed.

I would let her just go at it. She is obviously doing just fine with
what she has eaten so why spoil a good thing?
I also feed fresh and then freeze the rest when we get any thing like
deer, turkey, etc. I have small dogs and a turkey is a 2 day meal for
them ;)

Yes! I'm near Griffin! He's lying on the floor right by my feet!
Yay, free meat!!

Oh, no, wait. Drat. I don't guess this means MY Griffin. If it did,
we'd surely be in business. He does love him some venison.

Oh well.

6a. Throwing Up Bone?
Posted by: "tdifr62" tdifraia@comcast.net tdifr62
Date: Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:41 am ((PST))

My 11 Mo Old English Mastiff has been on raw since I got him from the
breeder. Recently I purchased some VERY large Turkey Drums. The bones
are big. He eats them no problem, but the next day he throws up a
small amount of undigested bone, along with some grass. He does this
every time he has the Turkey Drums. Is it OK to continue feeding him
the Turkey Drums? The piece he is tossing up is the bottom of the
Drum. It is rolled up in the grass. Almost as if the grass protects
his throat from any sharp pieces of the bone. He digests all other
bones from his other meals. The piece is about 1/2 - 1" in length.

I imagine it will go away as time goes on, it did with my dogs. You
might also add some meat to the meal, that helped with mine as well.

Throwing up bits of undigested bone is how a dog gets rid of the
irritation. NOT throwing them up can be a more difficult issue. I
suspect this will fade with experience, and the grass is probably eaten
initate the vomiting process. This too is not a bad thing. Messy
maybe, but not inappropriate.

It may well but I doubt his intention is to protect his troat. Good
though that it works out that way. Another reason to assume there's
nothing to worry about here. If he consistenly horks the joint and it
consistently concerns you, cut the joint off before you feed the leg.

Please excuse the bad manners of my computer. Or perhaps it's Yahoo

"Have a friend bringing me a chest carcus complete. sugestions please on
the best way to feed to 2 GSDs. Morgan"
-
For my bunch (all 80+ lbs) I cut the carcass in half width wise between the
ribs, if it's a huge deer I might be able to cut it into thirds and feed as
a whole meal if there is lots of meat left.
