Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hello,

I have some questions regarding raw lamb heart.

1: Does heart court as muscle meat or organ meat?
2: How much can I feed? 5% or more?

Many thanks

Hearts count as muscle meat. For it to be classified as an organ for feeding purposes, I believe it needs to be a secreting organ (kidney, liver etc). Smile

I know I read somewhere that giving too much heart can cause a vitamin issue (Vitamin A I think), but I can't really remember it now. I'm sure somebody else with more experience than me will chime in. Smile

UndarthAngipoo: Thank you for your reply.
Interesting! =) I didn't know feeding too much heart would cause a vitamin issue. I thought it would only apply to liver.
Thank for that, I will bear in mind =)

Heart is a lean muscle meat rich in iron and fatty acids and is good for the dogs heart. Heart should make up about 5-10% of the 80% muscle meat that you feed.

We feed a bit higher of a ratio at times, but only when we use turkey heart. There is a lot more fat on the beef heart.
