Hypoallergenic Dry food for dogs with insects - grain-free - Landgut-Schmaus by Bellfor Dog Food - 2,5 kg

What are the benefits for the dog when being fed with the insect proteins used in Bellfor? 

The quality of the used proteins is expressed by a complete Amino acid profile. The more amino acids and the higher their content per kilogram, the better the quality of the used proteins. Amino acids are constituents of proteins. Plants, for example, contain

only few amino acids. Some meats contain not all amino acids.

 

The proteins of the larvae of the black soldier fly, which we use for our Bellfor, have a complete amino acid profile with a high concentration.

Insects had to prevail over millions of years to all environmental influences, and so created a complete bio-system.

 

Since the larvae of the black soldier fly can convert the eaten and ingested plant protein into animal protein, the protein of the larva is especially high quality. Dogs can digest animal protein better and more easily than vegetable protein.

 

Dogs are omnivores and therefore daily high-quality meat are needed to meet their protein needs. A short digestive tract leaves little time for the dog to process nutrients. For this reason, dogs need a high-quality source of protein. Because the higher quality the amino structure of the protein, the lower the risk that dogs get allergic problems or problems in the gastrointestinal tract.

 

The larvae are bred and processed in the same plant. As the result, the larva is processed in less than 5 minutes to protein. This has an enormous impact on the quality of the protein, because the BAI (biogenic amines index) is significantly below the value 1.

The BAI is an index which index the freshness of meat. The fresher the meat, the lower this number (http://www.petfoodindustry.com/articles/521-analyzing-amines).

 

Feeding Bellfor Naturally Good-Feast (cold pressed & grain-free) or Bellfor Farm Feast (extruded & grain-free) almost excludes any potential for allergies. Our new Bellfor varieties can help dogs with symptoms such as itching, lick granuloma or diarrhoea.

In addition, dogs fed with Bellfor Naturally Good-Feast or Bellfor Farm Fest have a shiny, soft coat and a solid bowel movement.

Dogs like eating it and with feeding these two Bellfor grain-free food varieties, you contribute to sustainability and thus protect our environment.

Why we chose insect proteins

Factory farming consumes huge resources, and thus harms the environment. In addition, there is an excessive use of antibiotics, which should keep healthy animals in a confined area.

And these are the two points where our insect-based grain-free dog food comes in. Compared to cattle breeding, the breeding of the black soldier fly which we use a source of protein, uses only one-tenth of the energy.

In addition, neither the larvae nor the adult flies become ill. This allows us to dispense with using antibiotics for breeding.

In addition, the insect proteins in our dog food have virtually no allergic potential. Bellfor Farm-Feast thus relieves the environment and provides your dog with a healthy and tasty meal.

Feeding instructions

Please adjust the food quantity to the age, breed and performance of your dog. The food should be given over the day in 2-3 portions and water should always be made available.
