Kidneys, like the liver, are among the most important organs that should be included in a BARF diet.
Organs are the most nutritious parts of animal meat, containing substances that are extremely important for a dog's diet. Muscle meat and bones lack many important nutrients, so it is recommended to include a small amount of organs in your dog's daily diet.
Kidneys, like liver, are among the most important organs that should be included in a BARF diet. They are rich in selenium and various B vitamins. Compared to other organs, kidneys, especially beef, are a good source of vitamins A and D.
Selenium plays an important role in a dog's immune system. It acts as a free radical and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. In addition, selenium helps absorb vitamin E, which ensures the functioning of the pancreas and the digestion of fats.
B vitamins are essential for dogs. Vitamin B1 helps metabolize carbohydrates into glucose, providing the body with the energy it needs. This vitamin also plays an important role in nerve, muscle and heart function. Vitamin B2 is needed for energy production, cell function, growth and development. It also contributes to the metabolism of fats and amino acids. Vitamin B3 helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is used as energy, repairs macromolecules (including fatty acids), facilitates DNA repair, and reduces the body's response to stress. Vitamin B5 helps metabolize proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell growth and cell function. It is also needed for amino acid metabolism and the formation of creatinine.
Pagrindinė vitamino D funkcija yra pagerinti žarnyno veiklą. Taip pat jis yra gyvybiškai svarbus kaupiant kalcį ir fosforą kauluose.
Vitaminas A reikalingas palaikyti regėjimo, augimo, reprodukcinę ir imuninę funkcijas. Jis taip pat dalyvauja daugelio genų ekspresijoje ir reguliavime.
