All About Lamb

October 09, 2023By Sally Hayler

This protein will have graced many dinner tables up and down the country, Lamb!

Perhaps the pièce de résistance of the mid-week roast with lashings of mint sauce or a spicy Lamb Rogan Josh teamed with poppadom’s.

Lamb is not only totally delicious but at Benyfit Natural our Lamb is locally sourced and grass-fed. These higher welfare standards have a direct impact on the nutrient profile of the meat we feed our dogs. One study looked at the specifics of this and concluded that " The meat of lambs having access to pasture in the spring period have a desirable intramuscular fatty acid composition" (Rabah, H et al, 2021)

The Benefits of Lamb for Dogs:

Rich in B vitamins helping to maintain a healthy nervous system.
Iron to support a healthy immune system and proper organ function.
High protein content helps to provide the needed building block for muscle development.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids help to act as an anti-inflammatory agent that eases itching and skin allergies.

What vitamins are in Lamb?

Vitamin B12

Cobalmin- Utilisation is focused in the production of DNA, red blood cells and myelin sheath (an insulating layer around nerves). With a strong relationship with nerve health, B12 is well recognised for its support of brain health.

Vitamin B2

Riboflavin- Recognised as an immune system booster and also a key player in releasing energy from food sources, for cell utilisation. Not only important for skin and eye health, but a prominent antioxidant.

Vitamin B5

Pantothenic Acid- Mainly used in the body as a tool to release energy from food sources. Acquired energy is then implemented in hormone production, particularly stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands.

Minerals found in Lamb

Iron

A major component of haemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs around the body. Along with myoglobin, which stores oxygen in muscle tissue. This mineral is important for red blood cell production and brain health.

Phosphorus

A key component in the body's inflammatory response, zinc is a keen antioxidant with a close relationship to skin health. Other matabolic functions influenced are growth, immunity and reproductive health.

Selenium

An antioxidant mineral, with close ties to reproductive and cardiovascular health. It is also essential in regulating thryroid function, with the highest concentration of selenium storage found in the thyroid gland.

Food Energetics & Lamb

Based on traditional Chinese medicine, food energetics provide guidance on how food sources interact with specific ailments and parts of the body.

Lamb is a WARMING protein.

Strongest Affinities: Lamb has strong affinities with the spleen and pancreas.

Seasonal Feeding: As a warming protein, Lamb is perfect for the colder months. Benyfit Naturals food is intended to be served at fridge temperatures, but the energetic principles of Lamb will still be warming.

Perfectly paired with our Calming Topper is a delicious accompaniment to our 80*10*10 Lamb Meat Feast Adult Raw Working Dog Food. Its Valerian content brings further warming components to the bowl, with its stimulating but also relaxing properties. Organic coconut in its dry form has warming qualities that work well with cold conditions that have excess stagnation.
