When I thaw out bags of organ/muscle meat there's a pretty good amount of rich red blood that settles to the bottom. Each bag contains enough for 2 days feeding between 2 dogs to go with their RMBs.
I'd estimate there's at least 5-7 TBS in the bottom of the bag. I've been pouring it out because I'm not certain if it's too rich to include.
Should this be part of their diet or should the excess be poured out?
The organ meat they get is still drippy with blood. They've been doing ok with that so far but I wonder if I should include the extra blood or if it's going to cause a problem over time.
It shouldn't hurt to give it to them. It isn't going to hurt to leave out, either.
I re-freeze and use it later sometimes. Turbo will eat a whole dove, but it isn't a favorite. Take that same dove and marinate it in deer blood, and it is a different story.:wink:
An excess of liver or blood will cause a calcium deficiency (too much phosphorus). In a prey model feeding situation the animal would consume much of the blood, balanced with the muscle, organs and bone.
When I butcher a large animal there is a lot of blood that leaks out, I often save it and feed it out in small quantities over a few days. Any loose dogs or cats in the farm yard will lick up some blood and then start on the muscle meat.
The clotted blood pop-sickle that slides out of the big artery under the spine is always a special treat.
Just keep every thing in balance.
