To be sincere with u sir, nothing is as good as all these imported dry feeds(or even our own Binngo); it has EVERYTHING u need. We are only improvising cos of the cost. Since it's a GSD, a 10kg puppy feed would be Ok for a month. Just be adding milk and egg
Golden morn and pap are simply a waste of money.

Ok sir. I will do just that then, thanks a lot for the feedback.

Thanks guys. I tried this and I am glad I did. Though na only my Boerboel dey rush the tin like mad, while my Caucasians dey form butty. For the male CO, I am not really disappointed bcus the dog doesn't eat much, he only eat little of whatever u give him. The female CO eats better but not much of this particular food. What I later did for her was to add milk and wen I wasn't satisfied enough with the way she was eating, I added egg and she ate well, I need her to feed well bcus she just had her puppies. Whenever she didn't eat after adding all, I still end up giving dry food. For a boerboel, is that how they all eat or did one is just different? She can eat for Africa. Lol

I really envy you guys and would really love to try this on my 9 weeks Rots... Hardly eats though active and looks healthy.... I won't mind if any live in lagos to see a practical of making this... don't seem to understand all recipe and preparation... I will appreciate to pay for all ingredients and we halve the proceeds... Thanks

I tried the food, and they really liked it, buh I just want to know if d food would make dem big or fat cause dog food has been really expensive

To those that kept educating us, may it be well with you and your families.
Never tried it but will surely do.
Thanks once more.

Thanks to everyone in here for the knowledge am grateful. Am yet to try the above recipe on my 15 months female Caucasian, she is 7 weeks pregnant can I feed her the above formulation? If yes can I replace the groundnut with kwili kwili? I also understood that crayfish can be used in place of fish! Will be waiting for an answer once again thanks to you all.

INGREDIENTS

▪️2 Parts Corn
▪️1 Part Soya Beans
▪️1 Part Groundnuts
▪️Fish (could be crayfish, fish waste, etc and as much as you can afford. You can do 1 part fish of your choice, don't just go overboard as too much protein isn't good).

Roast the soya beans and groundnuts to remove the shaft. Then grind all together until very smooth.
NB; grind the corn first before adding the other ingredients, as corn is the hardest of them.

PROCEDURE FOR COOKING
Into a pot of water on fire, pour some of the formula and stir (e.g 2 tin cups of milk into 1&1/2 glass cup of water). Keep stiring until you get a consistency like pap (Ogi). It takes a little while to get this consistency, so be patient. If it's too thick, you can add some water. For the wee pups, it's shouldn't be thick. For older dogs, you can serve thick. Add a little salt or seasoning when it's ready. You can also add palm oil if you so desire. Serve cool.

NB; Your dogs won't readily eat it, as its new to them so start small when cooking.

Here's a tip from a fellow nairalander @LordRegalia, if you're having trouble getting your dogs to eat something new, mix it with something they really like. In my case I mixed it with pedigree (rice & chicken). The trick is to have more quantity of what your dog likes with little of what you're introducing. Begin to reduce what it likes while adding more of the staple food - in this case the formula, until it's just the staple food they're consuming.

If there's any part you're unclear about, let me know.

Cheers!

Hello sir, read through the thread and I'm happy how uve been following through and helping pple achieve results. My 14 weeks old female bull mastiff has been on Binggo mixed with boiled fish and lately mixed with raw egg. She's chubby but not tall, I want to try this formula. The groundnut, can I use the roasted bottled one we use to soak garri?

Please don't; you'd spend a lot. A bowl(Kongo/Mudu) of fresh groundnut in the market is #420. All you need to do is to oven-dry if u can't roast it. Just do the maths... Please note that the feed might not make her tall if the parents aren't

I'll try sir, I doubt I can roast It tho. If I can't I'll just buy already made ones.

...try 'Kuli-kuli' (groundnut cake) crumbs from the Mallams in the market first... A bowl cost abt #400.
Also, go to a feedmill and buy 'VITAMIN PREMIX' to mix with everything before grinding.
And lastly, go to any vet-shop(particularly the poultry ones) to buy 'BIOVIT/ANIMAL TONIC' to put in the drinking water, or more effectively, in the food after cooking.

So sorry I replied a bit late sir

Can I use regular fowl feed in place of the corn?

IMPORTANT INFO
Guys, just as u know, I've been an avid promoter of this local dog feed recipe because I've been using it religiously for my dogs for years with some reasonable level of success... But I must confess, it hasn't been as effective as any manufactured dog feed, not even our Nigeria-made Binngo feed, no matter how much 'protein' I add.
'Why?' I asked myself. So, I did some digging and discovered that although Dogs are omnivores, they are carnivores by scientific classification: They do not flourish while on Plant-protein based recipes and they do not produce enough Amylase to digest starch! This explains why manufactured dog feeds and feed supplements like BullyMax are expensive as they are mostly animal-protein based.
So, here are my suggestions if u want your dog to flourish:
1. keep feeding your pet with this recipe but supplement it with BullyMax, Gorilla Max or the likes;
2. replace most of the Gnut and Soya with EQUAL quantity meat-meal or fish-meal;
3. Buy a lot of beef/pork parts to supplement it daily;
4. Buy some dog feed and mix with this local recipe
5. Switch permanently to manufactured feeds(It almost amounts to same thing (minus the stress) as a Kg of fishmeal is #1,200 and a Bowl of dried Cow kidney and liver is #1,000) OR
6. Stay on this recipe if u are satisfied with the results or can't afford Plenty Animal-protein for. now.

Please note that I am not saying that this local recipe is bad, but just that it is clearly not good enough if you want an enviable dog. For more info, visit these sites;

In fact this thread is very useful . I say big thank you to the OP for this useful lesson . is anybody with testimony here ?

Too many advice I've been keeping dogs for a decade now fish/meat and rice twice a day with a bowl of water and vetzyme 2 daily gives my dogs all the nutrients they grow to their height that is in their dna and fat too

This is a very nice thread

I got soya beans, corn and groundnut no fish though

Fried them separately and also removed the coat on the soya beans

Grinded them together so i now mix mine with rice, fish and other Proteinous stuffs and they work wonders

I don't cook or boil mine i just add it to their food like that, the aroma no b here o lol... Bye bye to can/dry feeds

Good day.. Pls I have a 7 weeks pup. feeding them is not easy. so I came for home made recipes and found dis post. I have gone through all the posts and have some questions to ask.
1.what do u mean by FISH MEAL
2. Would it be OK to increase the ratio of those protein source like soya beans, fish, groundnuts.
3. would it be OK to add GROUND EGG shell to the formulae
4. should the soya beans be soaked before frying.. if yes how long should I soak it.
5.you talked about animal protein,so is fish also an animal source of protein.

Pls I anticipate ur reply

1. Fish meal(not fish feed) is an animal feed gotten from grinding dried fish. Just go to any livestock feedmill and ask for it. There r 2 types; Imported for #1000 and Local for #800 per kg. Although I'll advice u go to any cold room to get 1/4 carton of HERRING fish for #2,500. This will last u a month(it's cost effective- 4kg), it's fresh and has essential oils...

2. Increase the animal protein sources instead of the plant protein sources. Dogs don't do well on plant proteins. Intact, if not for the economy, would av advised u to substitute all the plant proteins with animal ones. Don't waste ur money increasing the soy and groundnut; if u can't afford more fish, milk, egg or meat, just leave it that way...

3. It's okay, but so as not to waste time and energy, just add 1kg bone meal/oyster shell/Limestone to every 10kg of the feed.

4. There are 2 separate methods, either u fry till the peels fall off or u soak in water to remove the peels and then sun/oven dry before grinding.

5. Fish is an animal, isn't it?


Please note that since ur puppy is 7 weeks, this feed will not work well(except u over embellish with a lot of animal protein ie egg, fish, milk, meat etc).

Also note that this feed ONLY works well with light breeds and not mastiffs: Binngo(as poor as it is) is several times better than this local recipe.

I have a feeling that ur dog is not a Mastiff. No offence but this meal(in the pix) is not even up to a snack for those greedy guys!

My dog is a Gsd

But these combination will work for any dog so far you schedule well

Bro, no need to argue but own a Boerboel first and feed exclusively with this feed...

Define 'Schedule well'.

The fact is that as long as animal protein isn't at least 35% of the total composition, a mastiff won't flourish on this feed. Unfortunately, making this feed that way is more expensive than Booster as a 6month old mastiff will eat 750g of this feed daily and still be hungry(just do the maths)

i must commend the guys dishing out this wonderful intel.e no easy..i have never kept a dog my whole life.but fell in love with a caucasian sheperd.pls will a caucasian like this feed.thanks

what's wrong with giving them the food you eat

Am a dog lover, I stay in ilorin would love if any body can gift me a puppy, 08115339922 or 08146737816

I pray my Stallion likes it oh......I heard someone said something about broiler feed. Do you need to grind those again?

Phew... Just seeing this thread now. Gotta give it to some of the guys who tried their best to help out. Y'all kind so much.
Truth is, the OP who complained about diamond price isn't the first and won't even be the last.
So we all looking for how to maximize output at a given level of price.
This has made me support our local manufacturers & locally made dry foods (Nutritola and Amical Patte dog dry food). No disrespect to the guys who have helped out on this thread, but then there are certain ingredients needed for overall growth that this our local recipe just doesn't give us, particularly those who feed large breeds like the boerboels, Chonditrin and glucosamine almost inevitable. But for a reasonable cost, these local manufacturers has been able to lift the burden.
Encouraging locally made dry food is the way to go people. Let's support our own.
Well-done to the guys who contributed to this thread.

chondroitin and glucosamine are really important especially for large breeds but the truth is that some of these dry feeds don't have them while those have them are usually in minute quantities and the best way is to supplement and besides this local dog food can be made with crayfish and chicken and even ginger which have glucosamine or better still get the supplement.

I don't own a dog, am just curious how do you add ginger to dog food?
