HOME COOKING FOR YOUR DOGS.
Feeding dogs a healthy meal requires that its balanced containing all essential nutrients in the right portion.Dog food must contain carbohydrate,protein,fats/oil,vitamins and minerals and the dog must have access to clean water.
The various component of the diet perform various functions that maintain the body functions and assist growth and development.Carbohydrates are energy giving food,needed to provide the body ready source energy needed for daily functions and work of the dogs.The percentage of carbohydrate needed in diet depends on the age of the dog,the function of the dog(working dogs, guard dogs,farm dogs) with the highest quantity in the most tasked dogs. The sources of carbohydrate include rice,pasta. potatoes,bread,yam e.t.c.
Protein sources will include meat,fish, meat products ,fish products.These are necessary for building muscle.Fat/oil usually added to diet in forms of oil, fish oil extracts,while the vitamins/minerals are found in vegetables,fruits,supplements and additives.
Dog meal can be presented in various forms such as boiling,baked,stewed, a combination of these ingredient at the right amount is key to ensure balanced diet.When dogs are fed properly the tendency of dog eating poop is zero,and the possibility of food poison is prevented because food is served fresh,natural without any artificial preservatives.
Dog recipes will include a blend of pasta,diced with carrot/spinach,cooked in fish broth and served with fish/meat.Eggs are also a good source of food for dogs as its a complete meal on its own,so it can be boiled/fried and mixed with rice/pasta.The benefit of home cooking is that you expose your dog to variety and monitor nutrients.
Home cooking also has the advantage of utilizing premix,which will impact positively on the health status of the dog. Atovi has been a good source of vitamins and minerals for dogs ensuring growth,large litter size and absence of diseases.

How to compound fish feed .
Fish feed could be natural ,using natural sources such ac insects,maggot,tadpoles,zoo plankton or plankton.Fish could also be fed a compounded ration, this could be home-made or finished feed. A combination of ingredients are used in stipulated amounts to boost growth. A combination of both natural and compounded ration can also be employed to save cost.
FEED COMPOUNDING,Using fish meal,soya beans,groundnut cake,premix and binder.
The ingredients are added as follows;
fish meal...........50%
soya beans...............24%
groundnut cake............18%
premix.................6%
cornflour..............2%.
The various ingredients are weighed out,grind ed and mixed thoroughly.These ingredients are mixed and held with use of binder(flour),the flour is mixed with water to form a paste,this is then added to the mixture and you continue to mix until a thick paste is formed.The mixture is dried in sun,and kept in air tight containers.
The feed could be pelletized/granulated or fed as small lumps that break off when dropped in ponds.This will provide a good start for your fish at 12-28 days. Fish feed could also be made from fish meal,premix and raw egg as binder.
The composition of the feed:
fish meal ....92%
premix ......8% and the raw egg as binder.
All ingredients are mixed,the egg is mixed with water to form a paste,this then dried in the sun and kept in air tight containers.They can be presented as granular or fed as small lumps at pond corners.
Unconventional feeding method is the use of grind-ed crayfish, which id grounded to fine particles, and mixed with fine chopped cassava flakes(garri).This is mixed with the crayfish to form a paste,this is then put in corners of the pond,to feed the fish.

ATOVI ;THE MAGIC PREMIX.
Feeding livestock accounts for a larger percentage of cost of production in animal husbandry,it also determines the quality and quantity of expected by-products. Animal feed are usually fortified with growth promoters,antibiotics and anticoccidials,to ensure that the animals produce at a higher rate, grow faster to attain market weight early and to prevent diseases. The inclusion of all these medication in feed increases the cost of feed,reduces the shelve-life of the feed and it has a potential to impact the human health in a negative way as a result of antibiotic residue in the by-products.
The global concern of antibiotic residue in animal by- products resulting in antibiotic resistance in man has sparked a lot of action, with more and more people pushing for regulations to restrict these inclusions in animal feed, others avoid such products,many purchase products from animals raised on organic feed/ those raised on home grown feed. This has led to a lot of research on better feeding methods of animals; these include exclusion of chemicals from feed, vaccinating animals as opposed to feed medication and inclusion of certain premixes in feed to enhance the immune system.
Atovi premix is a blend of minerals and vitamins added to animal feed without any side effect in man. The premix blended with the feed enhances the immune system thus preventing diseases in animals.The premix increases the growth rate ,livability of animals thus preventing loss due to mortality,higher production rate due to better absorption of feed ,reduces time of molting thus the laying period is extended with more egg production of bigger sizes.
The beef/chicken/pork produced has a homegrown taste,its juicy,without cholesterol with high carcass percentage. The use of ATOVI powder actually lowers cost of production because the animals consume less feed ,the fecal matter is reduced and its odorless.
The inclusion of atovi powder in animal feed is not limited to few species,all animals benefit including fish& rabbit .It is also used on crops.The ATOVI powder, has a counterpart in human medicine referred to as MITOGEN AND MITO MALUNGGAY capsules and used as supplements to boost immune system and cure several diseases.
