[Green] The absorption rate in the body is 'different' depending on dog food and carbohydrate raw materials.

The Rural Development Administration said it analyzed the digestion rate of dog food by carbohydrate raw material and found that the absorption rate in the body varies greatly depending on the raw material.

According to the results of the study, rice, corn, and brown rice had high carbohydrate and energy digestibility, while barley had the highest fat digestibility.

In addition, mung beans had the lowest protein, carbohydrate, and energy digestibility.

The digestion rate of essential amino acids 'methionine', which are important for urinary, hair, and skin health, was high in corn and barley.

The Rural Development Administration explained that mung bean-containing feed with low digestion rate is suitable for dogs that need weight control, and rice, corn, and brown rice feed are suitable for dogs with a lot of activity.

This study was conducted by making test feed for each raw material that adjusted the carbohydrate content to a level similar to that of commercial feed, feeding it to a dog for two weeks, and then analyzing the digestion rate.
