"Fe Fie Fo Fum, I'll grind his bones to make your bread" hand grinders for chicken bones
Greetings
Making home-made cat food: "cheap" chicken quarters, organs and fish. Don't yet have a met grinder (the tube which bolts to a board). Been grinding the quarters, bones and all, in a second (third) hand clamp to the table, Universal #2 hand grinder. "lots of fun". Several questions: Sharpening the cutters? Is it possible? How is it done. Is there a "better" make & model which will handled a "whole" chicken? I'm getting good at deboning chicken legs, which does help, some, but "anyone know of a better way"? That doesn't cost a lot of cash money? tschus pyotr And yes, I know all about "Don't feed chicken bones to cats". Which is excellent advice regarding cooked chicken & bones. But raw bones - with a good knife you can cut them up w/ little or not effort. Grinding them fine solves the "calcium" problem. -- pyotr filipivich What is normal? "Two sigmas either side of Mu.

But raw bones - with a good knife you can cut them up w/ little or not effort. Grinding them fine solves the "calcium" problem.a You might want to consider just how much calcium is available to the body consuming bone meal. Calcium availability varies depending on the source. Calcium carbonate, for example, is a salt and easily dissolved and absorbed. Calcium in bones is built into the lattice structure making up the bone material and is not easily released. You could be eating lots of bone meal and not really getting much usable calcium. -- pyotr filipivich What is normal? "Two sigmas either side of Mu. You bring the cow." drieux. |
