Science-based development of food intake for adult Cane Corsos
Feeding
of adult Cane Corso
During last decades the most popular diseases of both people and
animals have changed their causation. If in the beginning of the
century infectious diseases were prevailing then today we discover
the diseases connected with consumption of these of those
foodstuffs. That is why the problems on feeding of Cane Corso dogs
are still too burning for many owners of these dogs.
Digestive processes as well as nutritional matters have been well
studied by scholars. But one should not forget that the slant of
dog owners on feeding of their four-footed pet must be
exceptionally individual. Well, the eatability of feed, health
status of Cane Corso and its future posterity and, eventually,
the cost of their management considerably depend on structure of
dog ration.
Working-outs of scholars are considered to be the basis of feeding
of Cane
Corso dogs but individual feeding is made directly by the
owners themselves. Experienced dog breeders well aware that there
are Cane
Corso puppies consuming 30% more food that their
littermates but then those who eat a little start feeding too hard
when pass into ownership of other people and those which ate much
during group feeding eat a little being fed individually. There
are a lot of reasons for that but the main of them are hereditary
factors affecting weight and height of an individual as well as
particular food ration.
Emphatically, daily allowance of adult Cane Corso is distinct
from amount of food consumed by Cane Corso puppy. It is
determined not only by the age but also by number of other factors
and the main among them are pet’s sex, height, weight, fleshing,
place of keeping as well as work made by the dog together with
physical load it experiences while doing this work.
Depending of adult Cane Corso’s fatness its dietary is
the following: 20-40 g of dry feeds and 30-60 g of liquid food
containing great amount of water. (the calculation is made per 1
kg of the dog’s body mass) Norm of consumption of protein, fats
and carbohydrates is increased too, especially in the case of
those dogs which are used for service work and their energetic
consumption is great during a day.
So, Cane
Corso weighing 50 kg, need 220-230 g of proteins
daily, 60-70 g of fats, 460-470 g of carbohydrates. Besides, in
order that intestinal tract of adult Cane Corsos should work
normally they need not less than 35-40 g of cellulose per day.
Quantity of water that is necessary for healthy adult Cane Corso
intraday is about 1 liter, but mineral mixtures flavored with
calcium are to be 30 g not less.
There is a range of ready-to-eat feeds for dogs on
sale but anyway they are different in their nutritious
composition as percentage of proteins, fats, carbohydrates,
vitamins and mineral substances in the food cannot be the same
for different dog breeds.
A veterinarian is able to determine Cane Corso’s demand for
vitamins with pin-point accuracy. All these moments must be
considered when the diet for the pet is worked out.
