Is it a desiccant or a deoxidizer for dog food or other pet food? Many pet owners on the Internet asked this question, but they did not find a more professional answer. As a person who has been in the desiccant and deoxidizer industry for decades, I answered this question that everyone cares about.
Dog food or other pet feed ingredients are actually the same as our human food, they are composed of six major parts: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and water. The best storage temperature is 0-28 degrees Celsius, relative humidity (RH) <60%. Various factors such as moisture, oxygen, temperature, and light will accelerate the deterioration of dog food or other pet food. Excessive relative humidity will cause it to dissolve and mold, interact with oxygen, temperature, and light, and also cause the growth of microorganisms ( Such as aflatoxin), this kind of expired pet feed can cause damage to the pet's kidney function and liver function, causing acute renal failure and liver function damage.
Through the above analysis, it is known that keeping a good pet feed is not as simple as using a desiccant or a deoxidizer, and requires joint efforts from many parties.
As an experienced enterprise in the desiccant and deoxidizer industry, Chunwang will give you the following professional advices.
1. Don't stock up too much pet feed at one time. Try to buy feed with a closer production date, and buy more frequently and in small quantities.
2. Choose a high-quality grain storage barrel with good sealing performance to effectively prevent moisture and air from entering.
3. Divide daily pet feed into small packets and seal them into the grain storage bucket, and put a deoxidizer instead of a desiccant in the small bag. The deoxidizer here is mainly used to absorb the oxygen in the small bag. Do not use desiccant here. It will absorb the moisture of the feed in the packet and affect the quality of the feed.
4. Generally, the grain storage barrel has a desiccant storage tank. Here, it is necessary to put a desiccant instead of a deoxidizer in the desiccant storage tank. The main function is to absorb the water in the grain storage barrel instead of the water in the feed packet. In seasons and regions with high relative humidity, the amount of desiccant should be increased and replaced at any time.
5. Place the grain storage barrel in a cool and dry place.
By doing the above points, your dog food or other pet food will be the same as the freshly opened bag even if it is taken out for half a year.
