Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of slaughterhouse by-products and cauliflower waste for the development of nutritious pet food in India. With the pet food industry in its nascent stage and irregular availability of commercial brands hindering brand loyalty, there's a growing preference for homemade pet foods among middle-income pet owners. However, the lack of awareness regarding the nutritional adequacy of homemade recipes poses risks of imbalanced diets. Moreover, some local manufacturers incorporate substandard ingredients for profit, potentially compromising pet health. To address these challenges, this study explores the potential of utilizing unconventional ingredients to develop balanced pet food. By assessing the quality and cost economics of prepared pet food, this research aims to promote the utilization of slaughterhouse by-products and cauliflower waste in pet nutrition.
