Presentation Description / Summary: Many feeding 'fads' or fashions follow the human market trends. Fresh feeding seems to be the most common, but is it just a 'fashion' or are there some nutritional benefits to feeding these diets? We will explore the proposed benefits of feeding fresh produce that have been stated by the food manufacturers and the evidence behind these claims.
Learning Objectives:
Understand what is meant by 'fresh' feeding.
Understand the positives and negatives of feeding fresh over other diets.
Discuss with owners wanting to feed 'fresh', and be able to supply the most relevant evidence surrounding this feeding method.
