September, an ordinary month, is the big day of the year for distant-water fishermen, who will sail to the Pacific Ocean for a month-long fishing operation, and the fish they want to catch is different from that of ordinary fishing boats - 1 meter long baby blue sharks. This small, commercially available warm-water shark looks delicate and fierce, but it is rich in nutrients and fat flesh, and in the vast oceans of the world, the small sharks in the Pacific Ocean are of the highest quality and the largest number.
Fishing for small sharks, but also always keep in mind the environmental protection and sustainable development, after the salvage, the crew will be based on years of experience to select adult sharks, release juvenile sharks, and can only be fished according to the annual application for catch. The sharks caught are treated, the whole is put into the cold facility of the fishing boat -50 ° C, and then sent to the coastal factory for processing again, the coastal factory has a complete production line, after many fine treatment and packaging, the finished product is sent to SGS and other well-known testing agencies in batches of quality inspection, after ensuring that there is no problem they will be listed, becoming a delicacy in the bowl of thousands of pets.
Yes, you read that right – this ugly ingredient is in a hairy bowl! There are only a few fishing teams in the country with this kind of salvage qualification, the annual output is controlled at about 10,000 tons, and it must be exported to Japan and Europe, and there are not many left in the country.
The ocean is a treasure land, it is generous enough for those who are painstakingly exploring, and the baby blue shark is one of its gifts to mankind - after 500 million years of evolution, the shark's whole body is a treasure, the skin, cartilage, liver, fins can be medicated, and contains many nutrients that promote the body's immunity, and the nutrients are unique in nature.
It is worth mentioning that sharks are one of the rare animals with malignant tumors, and in their cartilage there is a factor that can inhibit the growth of blood vessels in solid tumors and directly inhibit the growth of tumor cells; The mucopolysaccharides and chondroitin sulfate are the main components that improve immune function and inhibit inflammation, and almost all cells are immune (Note 1) - when this precious natural ingredient is applied to pet food, the benefits are obvious: shark cartilage rich in 6 kinds of chondroitin can help the bones of hairy children grow and repair bone damage; Shark liver, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, moisturizes the skin of hairy children and brightens their fur; Rich in high-quality animal protein, shark meat with low fat content can help the body's immunity and escort the health of the hairy children.
The advantages of this natural ingredient are in line with the concept of "superfood-Suoerfood", which is far from being comparable to ordinary ingredients. In 1980, an American doctor engaged in dietary therapy proposed the concept of superfoods, which was defined as "a natural food that is highly nutritious and low in calories and is conducive to health." Suoerfood itself is not a medicine, not a nutraceutical, it is an unprocessed natural food. In order to achieve this concept as much as possible, the brand "Little Blue Shark" has been anchoring every production link with strict standards for many years: the whole process of low temperature locking fresh, to ensure the freshness and nutritional content of shark meat; Insist on the 6 major do not add, even flavoring agents and perfumers are the selection of natural shark liver and natural green tea, seemingly to increase the cost, but to ensure consistent safety and health; 4% of the sufficient amount of addition so that the texture of the large meat pieces can be seen everywhere, to meet the carnivorous nature of hairy children; Combined with pet samples, research on commercially available products, pet nutritionists according to the physical needs of dogs and cats to carry out targeted ratios, so as to achieve nutritional balance; Signed a quarterly inspection agreement with Intertek, the staple grain production plant passed the "HACCP" certification, and implemented batch testing with SGS and other well-known testing institutions at home and abroad...
The achievements of the little blue shark in the market are obvious to all, once the product is sold, it is often "out of stock", especially the classic freeze-dried staple food series of the little blue shark is named the title of "out of stock king", from the ocean to the bowl, the little blue shark with the advantages of natural ingredients, can still be in the hundred flowers of the pet food market, repeatedly achieved good results.
The evolution of the ocean overlords has gone through hundreds of millions of years of vast time, but they have become the delicacies in the bowls of hairy children, only a few years, behind which is condensed is the difficult journey of the little blue sharks to explore, excavate, and constantly experiment and optimize day and night, perhaps for the market, it is not important who is the "first to eat sharks", what is important is that there are "little blue sharks" in the market.
