Hello, I’ve been feeding a raw homemade diet for a year now but I’ve been questioning if my recipe is complete. I’m following Dr Piersons recipe (but raw not cooked). I’ve used the guideline to remove 20-25% of bone from the thigh. For the recipe example, if you have 10 thighs remove 2 bones.
But I’m wondering how you calculate how much bone is being used since a thigh bone is 15-21% of the thigh. In my simple thinking, if roughly 1/5th of the thigh is bone should I be removing 5 bones from 10 thighs? If I use the example above, just removing 2 bones, does that mean i’m leaving too much bone in my recipe? My boys pooh every other day and it is very dry and firm.
I could remove all the bones and weigh them and then do the calculation to get to 10% but that seems like a lot more work.
Does anyone have information or thoughts on how they calculate how much bone to add/remove?
I’ve seen others link to the raw&nerdy site and I will be doing the course and possibly getting the spreadsheet so I can better understand their nutritional requirements. Thank you for your thoughts.
