- Quanto costa un gatto norvegese?
Costo adozione di un gattino/cucciolo di gatto Norvegese delle foreste. Tutto quello che devi conoscere prima di acquistare. Gatti hosting gratuito e molto altro... INFORMATION How much does a Norwegian Forest cat kitten cost? How much does a Norwegian cat cost, young or adult? _Cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ It is true, for those approaching the world of purebred cat breeding, the price is one of the important information, which is first asked, but it is also true that it is one of the questions that the more it hurts the sentiment of the kittens breeder .... You may be wondering why some breeder to this question has not answered you or perhaps answered you in an annoyed way ... I would like to introduce you to the merits, explaining why: The reimbursement of expenses that is requested is not enough to cover all the expenses incurred during the year ... it is not easy to explain in 4 words to those who have never known the "behind" the wings ", how many problems and expenses must be incurred in order to have healthy, happy and well socialized cats and kittens. The economic side, as the first parameter to evaluate the adoption, in the eyes of those who may not have slept for a week in a row to assist a mother with problems and perhaps have left 1000 euros at the vet for cesarean delivery, is really demeaning ... Although the person has all the justified reasons to ask for it, often one feels disheartened and without any appreciation for what is being done ... For this I ask you, try to identify yourself for a moment; try to think of the affection that binds us to a kitten that we have seen born and we have grown for 3 months and then having to entrust it to others who approach us hard-nosed writing only "PRICE ???" How would you feel? Try to put yourself in our shoes where you have NOT spared us in any way, to raise them, starting from the probiotic supplement at 27 euros per tube, which is not enough even for 2 days on an average litter ... from the cost of food of the best quality (in my case meat from the supermarket prepared by me) to the awake nights to breastfeed them, to look after them as like children in the stages of growth, they can get sick and even die ..._ cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ e while this happens you have the old man of the house with whom you are facing chemotherapy, with a heart broken by pain, hoping he will make it_cc781905-5cde-3194-3194 -136bad5cf58d_ ... e this is just a small slice of reality ..._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Try to think that on this side of the screen ... there are people with all their emotional baggage and the refund asked is vital for their cats, try to use a kind way ... and please! Do not ask us for discounts ... we are not at the market to buy a t-shirt! -_- ' When it comes to living beings the MOST important thing is the health of the puppy and its parents. Here I will try to briefly explain as much as I can, how I grow and what guarantees my puppy has. My philosophy is that of respecting the nature of the Norwegian cat, trying to give them a life as rich as possible of experiences and close (as far as possible) to freedom - feeding them with natural food -biologically appropriate- followed by a veterinarian nutritionist. Our puppies (but also the parents) are fed with Natural food , they do not use kibble and industrial feed rich in cereals that in the diet of a feline, as a narrow carnivore, should not exist. When your Norwegian puppy leaves my home, he will bring with him his natural diet that if you want, you can easily follow thanks to a simple guide with videos and tutorials which I will provide, otherwise I will recommend some of the industrial brands that are less harmful to our beloved Norwegian cats. When the puppy leaves my house he is able to eat both natural and industrial food, as in the last weeks he stays with his mother and siblings, I insert a part of "Grain free" wet and dry feed, in so that you can have a puppy with a really varied and accurate weaning, that will have no problems di "addiction to a specific brand". The parents of the puppies live at home with me but also outdoors in large "protected" enclosures where they can, play and live in the open air and this protects them from many typical overcrowding diseases. -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ The sun, the air, being able to hunt, play and socialize in an adequate way, guarantees that they can satisfy their ethological needs, this keeps them happy, balanced cats able to transmit this character to their offspring. I pay particular attention to the socialization of kittens, who grow up at home with me, pampered and spoiled. They are soon put in contact with feline uncles and grandparents, but also humans, in order to develop an even more balanced character . _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ An important factor that significantly affects the price of the Norwegian cat kitten, are the costs incurred between veterinarians, genetic laboratories, cardiologists to ascertain that the two parents are not they are carriers of the same pathology, and therefore by mating they could fissarne and genetic characters, with the consequent birth of carriers or even sick puppies. Some general information on the parents of the litters: Parents are tested in 2020 for: fiv, felv (ELISA) -giardia (PCR) -NEGATIVE 2021 Parents tested (genetic): GSD4, PKDef -NEGATIVE- Screening Echocardium for Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Ultrasound x Renal Polycystosis (PKD) - NEGATIVE 2021 These tests carried out on parents, some are annual while some are genetic so it is enough to have them done only once. They are visible in a folder (on Dropbox) online, of which you will have the link if you are interested in a kitten. More information on these pathologies you can read them here Therefore, when the puppy leaves his home he will have: -Pedigree ANFI -Agreement between the parties with Health Guarantees. - Certificate of good health issued by our veterinarian, 2 Trivalent Vaccines- or Antibody Titration (to be chosen by the new owner) 2 Negative stool tests for parasites + giardia, timbred in the health booklet by our veterinarian _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5 Treated with pesticide. I follow the owners in a particular way for at least 1 year, until the insertion in the new families is not completed and cmq I will always be available for anything for "the puppy's whole life" and in case something happens, I am available to take it back even in age adult. I like to be and remain a point of reference for new families, of course if this is also your desire.

- Fibre Animali | gatti norvegesi
Il ruolo cruciale della "Fibra Animale" Nel mondo della nutrizione dei gatti, siamo abituati a pensare alle fibre come a un concetto esclusivamente vegetale: zucca, zucchine, carote, psillio o psyllum... etcc Una ricerca pubblicata sul Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition (Depauw et al.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22074361/ ha gettato luce su un concetto spesso ignorato, spesso rifiutato, ma fondamentale per i carnivori obbligati: la fibra animale. Lo Studio Lo studio ha monitorato 14 ghepardi in cattività, confrontando due alimentazioni diverse: Carne di manzo integrata (senza parti strutturali) Prede intere (coniglio completo) I risultati sono stati sorprendenti. I Risultati Chiave Riduzione dei Metaboliti Tossici Con prede intere (pelle, ossa, cartilagine, pelo), i ricercatori hanno riscontrato: Drastica diminuzione di indolo e fenolo nelle feci Queste sostanze tossiche derivano dalla putrefazione proteica Se assorbite, sovraccaricano reni e organi vitali Microbioma Più Sano Profilo di acidi grassi a catena corta più equilibrato Fermentazione intestinale più regolare Flora batterica benefica e stabile L'Effetto Prebiotico dei Tessuti Connettivi Collageni, cheratine e proteine strutturali agiscono come: Fibra naturale nel colon Regolarizzano il transito intestinale Nutrono la flora batterica benefica Attenzione! La BARF non è solo carne cruda. La vera BARF “ quella che porta i maggiori benefici” replica la struttura della preda intera. Il gatto è un carnivoro obbligato evolutosi per consumare l'animale intero. Ignorare componenti come ossa polpose, connettivi, piume o pelliccia significa privare l'intestino del tuo gatto della "fibra animale" di cui ha estremamente bisogno. I Tre Elementi Cruciali 1. Le Ossa Polpose Non sono solo calcio e fosforo. Forniscono: Struttura rigida = "spazzolino naturale" per i denti Feci compatte e ben formate Collagene e glicosaminoglicani = articolazioni e intestino forti Azione diretta come fibra animale 2. Connettivi e Cartilagini Spesso scartati, ma essenziali: Ricchi di collagene e proteine strutturali Agiscono come "pulitori naturali" intestinali Alimentano il microbioma benefico 3. Piume e Pelliccia (la Fibra Dimenticata) Sebbene non essenziali in ogni pasto: Cheratina = fibra animale pura Pulizia meccanica naturale delle pareti intestinali Replica esattamente ciò che un gatto mangerebbe in natura Come Introdurre la Fibra Animale in Sicurezza Per animali non abituati è fondamentale un'introduzione graduale! I Passaggi Corretti Inizia con poco: Orecchie di coniglio ( qualche pezzetto) Pulcini essiccati ( 1/4) Quaglie piumate ( inizialmente, leva 2/3 delle piume) Pelliccia un pizzico Monitora attentamente: Osserva la reazione del tuo animale Se ben tollerato, aumenta gradualmente Massimo del 1-2%: Non superare questa percentuale della razione giornaliera Segnali di allarme: Riduci o sospendi se noti: Vomito Diarrea Stitichezza prolungata Consulta Sempre Se il gatto non è sano o se l animale è anziano -geriatrico consulta il Veterinario Nutrizionista per un piano personalizzato.

- Accompagnamento Empatico | gatti norvegesi
Accompagnare empaticamente un animale alla fine della sua vita è la stessa cosa che fargli l’eutanasia? EMPATHIC ACCOMPANIMENT Is empathically accompanying an animal at the end of its life the same as euthanizing it? Article written by Dr. Stefano Cattinelli Veterinarian When we talk about empathic accompaniment at the end of our animal's life it means that we have chosen not to euthanize it but to give it the opportunity to spontaneously die alone, when it wants. "Alone and when he wants" means that there will be no pharmacological help or homeopathic remedy that will anticipate his death but that he will choose when to die. I want to underline this passage because too many times I see that empathic accompaniment is confused with a path that inevitably ends with euthanasia. No! Empathic accompaniment does not end with euthanasia. The empathic accompaniment ends when the animal dies a natural death in his home surrounded by the love of those who accompanied him up to that moment. Accompanying does not mean accompanying him to the vet to do the puncture but it means waiting for him to die when he decides. In this article we will not deal with the issue of pain (already discussed in the following article: https://www.stefanocattinelli.it/single-post/2016/11/13/Le-basi-dellaccompagnamento-empatico-il-dolore ) but we will try to go deeper into the theme of the choice to make and what it means for the animal to die "when I decide or when he decides". Here, just "when I decide or when he decides" is the theme of this article. So let's start, without further preambles, taking into consideration the first part of the sentence and that is the one in which it is I who decide when my pet must die. When it is I who choose for him. If you stop for a moment to reflect on the roles that have always characterized the relationship with my animal, you immediately realize that "interpreting" the role of the one who chooses for the animal is an extremely habitual interior position. I'm used to choosing for him. I choose what to feed him; I choose when to feed him. I choose for him the hours in which we go for a walk, I choose the places where I can leave him free and I choose when to put him on the leash, I choose what kind of surgeries to perform them, what kind of therapy, such as pesticides or supplements and what kind of environment I can offer to make him spend his life in the best possible way. At the origin of the relationship there is always an act, an action, towards him that comes from my choice. Most likely, among the many puppies, I chose him and I also chose his name. Or I chose to confirm the name it already had. Or, even if I met him "casually" along my way, it is I who have chosen to welcome him into my life. “Interpreting” the role of the person who chooses is really used to me in relating with him. This, of course, is an absolute good because the role of those who choose necessarily involves the development of ever greater levels of responsibility towards the animal that lives with me: trivially, starting from the questions I ask myself and the answers I find, I will be able to choose. a type of diet that is as appropriate as possible to the animal's biology and this will increase the animal's state of well-being. The sense of responsibility is directly proportional to the well-being of the animal: the more I am responsible for its life, the more my pet will promote its level of well-being. This is a fixed point in the Human-Animal relationship. We must know, however, that in the event of empathic accompaniment we come across a diametrically opposite experience. Why am I speaking of a diametrically opposite experience? Because empathic accompaniment is the path that guides us towards the experience which, by its nature, is the opposite of life and that is death. It is that last piece of road we travel together, the most difficult, the most intense, the most emotionally engaging, the most devastating and at the same time, if done with awareness and presence, the most harbinger of change and transformation. Paradoxically, the experience of his death, if lived to the full in the accompaniment, can truly represent a turning point in the life of each of us. The first transformation, whether small or large, certainly lies precisely in the fact that at this juncture, since we go towards the experience that is opposite to life, I am asked to experience the exact opposite of what I have experienced up to that moment. . If until now it was I who guided the relationship through my choices, in empathic accompaniment it is my animal who guides me through the mystery of his death. This statement is absolutely not intended to be a provocation but rather represents the fruit of my twenty years of scientific-spiritual research in this field, The more I will be able to abandon those parts of me that want to give direction to the event, that want to control it, that want to choose for the animal and the more the animal will have the opportunity to guide me in the most important event of its existence: the end of our love relationship. After twenty years of experience in this field, I can say with certainty that animals know exactly how to die. Through my attitude of acceptance of what is happening to it, step by step, having progressively abandoned the "controller" that is in me and allowing the animal to enter its last period of life in a fluid and progressive way, here I am I will realize that for the animal, death is really something natural; an event that he deeply accepts starting from the feeling that the physical forces are progressively diminishing. The more we give him the time to get in touch with the decrease in physical strength, the vital energy that runs out and the more we create the basis so that he can "enter" more into the naturalness of his death. Yes, because it is his death that we are talking about. I know it may sound absurd a statement like this ... but he only dies once. So who, once again, has the greatest weight in the unfolding of this event? Choosing to accompany an animal at the end of its life means choosing to "enter" a dimension of wisdom and infinite love that knows exactly the exact moment in which this experience must end. To access this different level of experience, my "controller" has no other option than to leave the command post. And then we will discover that in empathic accompaniment it is not I who decide; but it's not even him! Who "decides" is the Consciousness of the relationship between me and him which moves, with infinite Love, the conclusion of our relationship according to the times and modalities that make sense in my biography. Only by fully going through the experience of my pet's death do I offer myself the possibility of accessing new levels of consciousness. And of Love. Thanks to him.
- Taurina nell'alimentazione del gatto
tabelle quantità di taurina nella carne, alcuni studi, fabbisogno taurina nel gatto, carenza di taurina alimentazione commerciale... Taurine Tables Where to read more: SOURCE1 - SOURCE 2 - FONTE 3-bbc794- bad5-136badd The taurine requirement of the adult cat H. BURGER1 andK. C. BARNETT2 Taurine in fish Study on the lack of taurine in mothers and puppies Taurine: Taurine (from the Latin taurus, bull, as it was originally isolated from bull bile by the German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_ammino-sulfur-ammonium acid is an acidic chemical abundant in many tissues of various animals, including humans. Small polypeptides containing taurine have been identified, but to date no aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase has been found capable of specifically recognizing taurine and capable of incorporating it into RNA. Taurine covers numerous and important functions; is, for example, a precursor of bile salts. to produce new bile salts and replace those lost in the faeces), participates in the growth and maturation of nervous tissues, contributes to the maintenance of good eyesight and correct heart function and, in the female, has an important role at the reproductive level. A deficiency can lead to un heart failure, poor immune response, poor neonatal growth, deafness, lower number of fetuses, resorptions, miscarriages, low birth weight, low survival rate of newly born kittens born, and birth defects, such as, abnormal development of the zampe posterior, and skeletal abnormalities including curved spines and short stature. Taurine is also found in some bacterial species in more modest quantities and in rare cases in plants; _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb358d_ 136bad5cf found in red algae, but not in brown algae o green , some traces in some plant foods, such as, nuts. Taurine is also present at high levels in the insects (don't be surprised if cats love to hunt them). Taurine is abundant in the tissues of most fish, birds and rodents, and in lower concentrations in larger animals, such as cattle. Taurine in cats, is mainly synthesized in the liver by aminoacids containing sulfur, methionine and cysteine, and the action of numerous enzymes, including cysteine sulfur dioxide and cysteine dioxinic acid . In cats, as the activity of liver enzymes is very low, the biosynthesis of taurine from its precursors is insufficient_cc781905-bbc3b-3194 unlike dogs, taurine intake is therefore essential. Furthermore cats waste large amounts of taurine, in fact, like dogs, they only use taurine for the conjugation of bile acids, while humans and rats can also use glycine (Morris et al., 1987), this leads to a continuous loss of taurine, such as a substantial part is not recovered from the entero-hepatic circulation and is lost in the faeces. Why did the cat lose its ability to synthesize an essential nutrient such as taurine? In these circumstances the production of taurine is a waste of energy, while the deamination and desulfurization of cysteine is an alternative metabolic pathway that allows cats to produce energy, rather than taurine from the catabolism of the sulfur amino acids . Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in animal tissues, cats that live in the wild and which forage themselves for food by hunting, are not deficient in taurine. A mouse - contains a very high amount of taurine compared to other types of meat - about 2.4 mg / gram . The good news is that taurine is present in many types of muscle meat, is abundant in the heart. Chicken hearts are a fantastic source of taurine for cats. The amino acid taurine-sulfonic is now recognized as essential for the cat that needs about 10 mg / kg adult. In the last decade, cats fed with diets characterized by an insufficient presence of taurine have shown two diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and progressive retinal atrophy. Unfortunately, only some clinical pictures can be resolved with a subsequent supplementation of taurine and it is therefore important that this amino acid is present in adequate quantities in any diet for cats. In order to have an optimal amino acid level, canned feeds need a higher concentration of taurine than dry feeds. The reason for this difference is not known, but a reason can be found in the difference in the formulation of the two products. Furthermore, since taurine is "free", as previously mentioned, it is not incorporated into the proteins, furthermore this molecule is thermosensitive and si alloy_cc7 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_all water very quickly so it is easy to lose it in the defrosting phase of the meat- For these reasons it is advisable to administer to the cat carne cruda not minced. A diet based on pulpy bones and organs is abundant in taurine (arginine and arachidonic acid). However, heat destroys about 2/3 of the taurine content (some research says that the heat destroys between 50% and 100% of taurine). Heat destroys all essential amino acids, enzymes, and a high percentage of nutrients. This becomes a problem if you feed your cat cooked meat. Not there are clinical studies fact on the daily need_cc781905-gattofied-136 in the diet of a takadin it takes months or even years, to see the results of a taurine deficient diet . Therefore, very few experiments have been done, however, in the few controlled clinical trials that have been done it has been observed that the cats given 500 mg / kg _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_food- of taurine in their daily diet showed no signs of deficiency. At higher doses, researchers saw a slight improvement in reproduction. In a 17-month study, cats given were given 375 mg / kg daily taurine had _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badd a normal value ERG, as opposed to 250mg which was too low and caused cardiac abnormalities. The National Research Council (NRC) specifies that the minimum recommended amount of taurine for adult cats is 0.0099 kg. per kilogram of body weight. For kittens, the minimum quantity is 0.017 kg. per kilogram of body weight, but la recommended dose of 0.33 kg. of taurine per kilogram of body weight . If you want to see the long-term results of a taurine deficiency in cats all you need to do is take a research from Dr. Frances Pottenger. From 1932 to 1942, Pottenger conducted a food experiment con foods To summarize his experiment: he divided about 100 cats into two groups: one group was fed with raw milk and raw meat, and the other group was fed cooked food and pasteurized milk. Cats fed raw food, grew up healthy and si are reproduced. The cats fed cooked foods, destroyed their salute, fell ill with blindness, heart disease, high death rate of the kittens, until they were no longer able to reproduce. As you can see, cats that were fed cooked foods had all the classic symptoms of a taurine deficiency. (NOTE: Pottenger's intention was not to study the nutritional needs of cats, but to demonstrate that "facial deformities" in humans - narrowed jaws, crowded teeth, brittle bones, and even difficult pregnancies - was the result of our Western diet made of industrial foods). Earlier this year, I had a couple of clients who came to me with cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is a heart disease that causes the heart to thicken. , what I found interesting is that both of these cats were fed the same brand of a processed "holistic" cat food (how can holistic food be processed? this is what I call a oxymoron!). For me, this was a red flag. And, this is why ... most vets will tell you that the cause of HCM is unknown, or that some breeds are predisposed to HCM. I believe the nutrigenomics _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ should be considered. Nutrigenomics is the study of the effects of foods and food components on gene expression. I suspected that this particular brand of cat food may have been deficient in taurine, but I checked the pet food recalls page on the FDA website , did not see the brand indicated ... However, this reminds me of a story: In 1988, a veterinary cardiology student noticed that one of his feline patients who was being treated for congestive cardiomyopathy had an extremely low blood serum ur . Now, this cat has been fed "" best quality "feed" food "premium _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_commercial label, which they contained all the daily requirement of taurine. The perplexed veterinarian, came back then check other clinical cases of cardiomia_cardiomia-136b-136b-big surprise found that almost all cases of this disease had low levels of taurine in the blood. When the cats were given a taurine supplement many of them showed a noticeable improvement. What was going on? All the cats were eating "di premium quality" which supposedly contained the necessary levels of taurine! The problem was that the taurine was deactivated during the cooking procedure of processing the cat food. You see, the "feeding paths" of pet food manufacturers' only last about 6 months, so if the animal is still alive and appears to be in good health after 6 months, _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ pet food is authorized for public sale. However, it takes more than 6 months to see the effects of a taurine deficiency in a cat. In any case, due to the discovery by this veterinary student, the pet food manufacturer corrected their mistake but, I can assure you these nutritional errors continue to occur today. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the FDA website on pet food. Now, to answer the question: Is it necessary to add a taurine supplement to raw meat? Well, I have already mentioned what happens to vitamins, enzymes and all essential amino acids when the meat is cooked ... but, with a raw meat diet the concern is only for the defrosting phase. When the meat is frosted there is only a slight decrease in taurine. Furthermore, since taurine is soluble in water and during defrosting some water is released from the meat, taurine can get lost in it ... If you are still concerned about the taurine content in raw meat then I would suggest the following: Since the highest amount of taurine is present in the muscle make sure you give it to your cat, muscle, and especially the heart (the heart is a muscle). Let's take a look at the taurine content of some meats: HERE (NOTE: Taurine is at its highest level in the small heart muscle of a mouse). If you still want to add a taurine supplement to your cat's food, remember that what you are adding is synthetic and not natural taurine. Synthetic Taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulphurous acid, which also leads directly to taurine. Personally, I would avoid any taurine coming from China, simply based on their reputation for exporting contaminated food. Perhaps it is impossible to avoid buying from China as it is the leading exporter of synthetic taurine. As of 2010, China alone has more than 40 taurine producers. Most of these companies employ the ethanolamine method for a total production of around 3,000 tons per year. An Important Word About Ready Commercial Barf & Taurine I'm not a huge fan of raw ground beef for several reasons: Firstly, it's soft, so_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136ccbad5cf58d -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_does not clean teeth, ( is the chewing of the bones to track _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badaro). furthermore, minced meat is not a natural way in which a cat would have eaten its prey. Also, I do not like i specialized brands in raw ground they do not contain appropriate fruit, vegetable and vegetable to a carnivore), and synthetic vitamins. Some ready-made barf preparations, already contain bones e organi which is OK if you have a cat that doesn't eat them, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136_bad5cfandoli all i days this would be too much and could cause; liquid stool, overdose of vitamin A. (bones and organs must be added in proportion to the diet). But, more importantly, grinding the meat reduces the taurine content, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _cc790-5 therefore increases the surface of the meat -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_la exposes the most to air, which entails the oxidation of the to air, this entails the oxidation of the_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Also, due to exposure to air, grinding may cause a decrease in other nutrients , such as, vitamin E or vitamin B6. Additionally, grinding creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, and bacteria also use the taurine in the meat, further reducing the total amount of taurine available to your cat. So, if you feed your cat a raw ground diet, they can't get all the taurine they need to thrive. What we can do for our cats is give them a rotation of various solid whole pieces of fresh meat (rabbits, chicken, turkey, quail, mice, etc.), organs, bones, and limit the time the meat is kept in the freezer e above all, do not grind.

- Calcio nell'alimentazione del gatto
La carne non contiene un rapporto ottimale calcio/ fosforo. Correggere una carenza di calcio con carbonato di calcio, lattato di calcio, gluconato di calcio. Soccer As can be seen in the table below most animal foods do not contain an optimal calcium / phosphorus ratio - Our attention should be directed to correcting a potential imbalance. Remember: you cannot correct a calcium deficiency with any source of bone meal, you must use a source that has little or no percentage of phosphorus, such as cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, gluconate of football. There are many different opinions on what the ideal Ca: P ratio should be, but I think it is reasonable to recommend a ratio between 1.0 and 1.3 parts of calcium to 1 part of phosphorus. Unfortunately, it may be very difficult to manage this relationship with the BARF or Whole prey, as the report _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b_bad5cf5c5-3194-bb3b-136bcc7-136bcc7 which might 136bad5cf58d_be adequate for younger cats, may not be adequate for older cats .... If necessary, it is easier to calculate the Ca: P ratio more precisely in diets without bone supply. To achieve the above recommended ratio, you need to add 1000 mg of calcium (approximately 3 grams of eggshell powder) to 1 kg of raw boneless meat ._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ SOURCE: https://feline-nutrition.org/nutrition/the-importance-of-calcium-supplements-in-homemade-cat-food Calcium Supplements by Ch. M. Ruessheim updated: July 2, 2002 Calcium supplements come in several forms (calcium salts), but only part of the calcium salt is elemental calcium. It is important to know how much elemental calcium a supplement provides because all the dietary recommendations refer to elemental calcium. To calculate how much elemental calcium is in a supplement, multiply the total milligrams (mg) by the fraction of elemental calcium to get total mg of elemental calcium. See examples below: Calcium carbonate: = 40% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg calcium carbonate x 0.40 = 200 mg elemental calcium Calcium citrate: = 21% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg calcium citrate x 0.21 = 105 mg elemental calcium Calcium lactate: = 13% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg of calcium lactate x 0.13 = 65 mg elemental calcium Calcium gluconate: = 9% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg of calcium gluconate x 0.09 = 45 mg elemental calcium Dicalcium phosphate: = 23% elemental calcium + 19% phosphorus * Example: 500 mg of dicalcium phosphate x 0.23 = 115 mg calcium + 95 mg phosphorus * Helmut Meyer / Jürgen Zentek give different values: 21/16 Egg shells: = 36-37% elemental calcium + traces of phosphorus and trace elements Example: 500 mg of dried powdered eggshell = ca. 180 mg elemental calcium Bone meal: _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _ = _ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ 30% elemental calcium + 17% phosphorus Example: 500 mg of bone meal x 0.30 = 150 mg elemental calcium + 85 mg phosphorus Important: Different products have different calcium / phosphorus contents! Check the label! Notes: The use of bone meal as a calcium supplement for raw meat diet may not be warranted for animals with diminished kidney function due to additional phosphorus content. Some other measures: 1 teaspoon of bone meal = 4 g 1 teaspoon of calcium lactate = 3.5 g 1 teaspoon of calcium carbonate = 2.0 g 1 teaspoon of eggshell = 5 g 1 teaspoon of Kitty Bloom Kalac M34 (38-39%) = 5g 1 teaspoon of Animal Essentials Calcium Supplemen t (34%) = 3g 100g chicken neck = approx. 800 mg calcium, 500 mg phosphorus, 100 mg sodium 100g chicken feet = approx. 2130 mg calcium, 770 mg phosphorus, 125 mg sodium 1 large eggshell = approx. 6 g = approx. 2200 mg calcium Calcium / Phosphor Calculator in english Calcium / Phosphor Calculator in deutsch Very useful tool as you can vary meat type, Ca: P ratio as well as calcium / phosphor content of supplement used.

- Reti in condominio-la legge | gatti norvegesi
PROTECTIVE NETS, ON THE BALCONY E IN THE GARDEN, WHAT THE LAW SAYS: Do you need permission from the condominium? Does protection for children or pets have to be authorized by the assembly? December 28, 2018 | Author: Carlos Arija Garcia Article source: HERE Does protection for children or pets have to be authorized by the assembly? You have a small child and you live on the 4th floor of an apartment building. During the summer, keep the French door open to the balcony. However, you ask yourself the problem that all parents ask themselves: is it not that, in a moment of distraction, the little one goes out and risks falling? Not being able to spend a lifetime sealed inside the house, the most practical and safest solution is to put a rete on the balcony. Ma we want the permission of the condominium or can you decide by yourself without asking anything? These are the same questions as those who have just bought a pet and are afraid that they will make an unwanted flight if you leave a French door open. The cat, the dog, the dwarf rabbit cannot stay still for a long time and their liveliness can lead them to climb the railing risking to end up over. Also in this case it would be better to put a rete on the balcony. The point is: do you want permission from the condominium? It seems logical that the same net on the balcony can serve to protect both your child and your pet. Both have in common only the vivacity and the lack of sense of danger and, for this reason, it is necessary to think about their safety. However, while neighbors may be more tolerant of your child (at least almost everyone), there is no shortage of people who complain about your cat or dog and would like you to keep the pet indoors. On the contrary: he would prefer that I didn't have it at all. No one can say anything about having a child, thank Heaven. And, for some years, not even on the fact of having a dog or a cat: the so-called "condominium reform law" defends the right of a neighbor to own a pet, as long as certain rules of coexistence and common sense are respected. Now, this right also includes the possibility of putting a rete on the balcony to keep the animal safe? We see. Balcony in a condominium: who does it belong to? It is certainly worth starting from a basic concept: who owns the balcony of the condominium? Is it a part of the building to be considered as the common good of all or the private property of the owner of the apartment? The Supreme Court intervened on this with a sentence that leaves no room for any doubt [1]: the balcony - states the Supreme Court - constitutes "the extension of the corresponding real estate unit" and, therefore, belongs exclusively to the owner of this. Should it be inferred from this that one can do whatever he wants on his balcony and balcony, since it belongs "exclusively" to the owner? In the same sentence, the Supreme Court argues that "the claddings and decorative elements of the front and lower part must be considered common to all, when they are inserted in the façade of the building and contribute to making it aesthetically pleasing". We are therefore talking about decorative fixed elements such as a planter, tiles, etc. Balcony in the condominium: can animals be kept? We are asking ourselves the problem of putting a rete on the balcony to protect, as well as children, pets. But are you sure you can safely hold a dog o un gatto_gatto 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_gatto_gatto_condo_condominio So, just not to start the house from the roof. Those who decide to adopt a pet can rest assured. The law that reformed the condominium [2] has included in the Civil Code a norm [2] bb3b-136bad5cf58d_second which the assembly cannot approve any rule prohibiting the ownership or possession of a pet. According to this law, in fact, the dog or cat are an integral part of the family, since in more than half of the houses there is a pet. In other words: it is "forbidden to ban" animals in the house. Of course, there are rules to be respected, especially in the common areas. For example, taking your dog on a leash and with a muzzle or cleaning up any litter left by animals, to name but a few. But if the assembly of the condominium approves a rule that prohibits keeping an animal at home, know that you can appeal to the Justice of the Peace within 30 days of the resolution for the rule to be canceled. However, if you want to know all about the rights and duties of condominium pet owners, we recommend that you read our guide . Balcony in the condominium: can I put the network? As the Supreme Court recalled, therefore, the balcony is private property and not a condominium property. And as the law has established, you can keep a pet in the house. Let's not add that you can also keep a small child because it goes without saying. At this point, do you need permission from the condominium to put the mesh on the balcony? No. It is your right to install it because you are operating on your property. Therefore, you do not have to ask for an authorization because the opinion of the condominium is completely superfluous. Furthermore, the mesh does not damage the architectural decoration of the building (but if put in sober colors it would be better anyway) and is placed for safety and hygiene reasons, needs that override the architectural ones of the building.
