Why sugar is useful for bird nutrition
The main note is that
all ingredients used in ZuPreem products are deemed SAFE by the FDA. The
Regulatory environment is advising that pet food manufactures change the word
sucrose to sugar.
Here is a little more information about the use
of sugar in ZuPreem products. Sugar is added to ZuPreem FruitBlend
Flavor, Natural, AvianBreeder, and NutBlend/VeggieBlend Flavor diets. Sugars
are also found in fruits that most birds eat and enjoy in the wild.
After
digestion, they travel through the bloodstream to body cells where they are
used for energy, or stored for future use. Veterinary nutritionists at
ZuPreem have added a small amount of sugar to our avian diets to supply readily
available carbohydrate (CHO) energy, and to make sure our nutritionally
complete diets are palatable. Sugar also adds to the enjoyment of many
foods.
Human and animal health experts agree that carbohydrates,
including starch and sugar, are an important part of a balanced diet. The
key is to ensure the diet is balanced between CHO’s, proteins, and fats.
Eliminating sugar and other CHO’s would result in a very poor, unbalanced diet.
