Organic Liver Powder

Liver in cat nutrition: an important source of essential nutrients
Liver is one of the most nutrient-dense components of a cat’s natural prey diet. As an obligate carnivore, the cat is adapted to obtain many essential nutrients from animal-based foods, including organ meat. In a natural prey diet, organs such as liver provide essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that help meet a cat’s nutritional needs.

Liver is especially valuable because it naturally provides nutrients such as Vitamin A and Vitamin D, as well as B vitamins and minerals like iron, copper, and zinc. These nutrients support many essential functions in the cat’s body and contribute to a balanced, species-appropriate diet.

Why cats need animal sources of Vitamin A
Cats have a special requirement when it comes to Vitamin A. Unlike many other mammals, they cannot obtain the Vitamin A they need by converting plant-based beta-carotene. This means that vegetables such as carrots cannot replace animal sources of Vitamin A in a cat’s diet. Cats need a direct source of Vitamin A from animal-based foods, such as liver.

Fresh liver and liver powder
When fresh liver is not available, liver powder can be a convenient alternative when preparing homemade cat food
Fresh, raw liver is a natural and nutrient-rich ingredient for homemade cat food. However, working with fresh liver is not always practical for every cat owner. It may not always be easy to source, and some people may prefer to avoid handling fresh organ meat during food preparation.

When fresh liver is not an option, liver powder can be a convenient alternative. Freeze-dried liver powder allows you to include the nutritional benefits of liver in homemade cat food without the need to source and prepare fresh organ meat. Tatzenladen Organic Liver Powder is made from pure, freeze-dried poultry liver and contains no artificial ingredients or unnecessary additives.

Instructions for supplemental use
When preparing homemade cat food, 25 g of liver powder can be used to replace 100 g of fresh liver.

Because liver is a concentrated source of certain nutrients, it is important to include it in the right amount as part of a balanced recipe. A homemade diet should always be carefully balanced to provide all the nutrients a cat needsbr>
