Meat mixture

As for the recipe, we break it down into “rounds” and we usually do 6-8 rounds at a time and freeze it. Each round consists of:

 -As close to 5lb pack of chicken thighs (with bone) that we can find. We remove the bones from 2 out of the 10 thighs. And remove extra fatty skin from 3 or 4 of the thighs (chicken skin is pretty fatty, and other ingredients provide better source of fats)

 -1lb (16oz) of chicken hearts

 -1lb (16oz) lean beef or pork

 -0.5lb (8oz) chicken gizzards

 -0.5lb (8oz) chicken livers

 -5 egg yolks

 -1 tin of sardines in water (Wild Planet Wild Sardines in Water, No Salt Added)

 -8oz of water (I add warm boiled water when defrosting)

 And then, in the evenings we supplement with Kitty Bloom topper to provide and vitamins or minerals we may have missed.

I also add lysine once a day, it is good for boosting immunity, for appetite and for preventing or treating herpes.

The bones are ground in a meat grinder. I have a meat grinder like the one in the link, it grinds bones perfectly
