Raw Recipe With Alnutrin W/calcium

[furbulousbunz]

On Alnutrin's website there is a recipe for a "boneless chicken diet."
A Guide To A Balanced, Homemade Cat Food - Alnutrin Supplements

33.5 g Alnutrin with calcium
2.5 cups of water
mix lightly then add
5 lbs ground raw chicken meat (boneless, skinless)
0.64 oz raw chicken liver

I multiplied the measurements by 5, since I order from Hare Today and they have the 5 lbs of boneless ground meat.

I've been making my cats food basically the same way but with ground chicken/turkey/beef organs. Does the Alnutrin supplement make other organs unnecessary? So I really just need to buy liver and supplement the ground meat? Would they be getting too many vitamins if I added Alnutrin with an organ mix that has kidneys and lungs?

I mean, my cats are fine as far as I can tell. I'm just wanting to make sure that I am feeding them a balanced diet for sure.

Another question, can I switch out the chicken for ground beef or chicken or any other boneless protein?

What percentage of kidney/lungs are you using? I'm guessing maybe 5%? That should be ok, but unnecessary per their recipe, obviously. (I think a lot of people just have a hard time sourcing those "other organs", so substitute more liver)

And, yes, you should be able to substitute any BONELESS meat, but depending on what you use, you may have a higher or lower fat content.

Thank you for responding. Very helpful.
Idk what percentage of the kidney and lungs is, it’s just an organ mix with kidney lungs and liver and maybe heart I don’t remember. It’s the beef ground organ mix from Hare Today.

Hare-Today lists the percentages in each product listing. The ground beef with organs is 80% meat, 7% tripe, 7% organs [heart,liver,lung and kidneys] and 6% bone.Product | Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow
