Abstract

Huge amount of unconsumed food waste (FW) include chicken bone waste is generated everyday including. Malaysia has a massive stray dog problem that will often eat almost any kind of waste including edible and non-edible produced by human to survive. They are easily attracted to open FW as the most important diet of a stray dog is the smell of the item. This may result in diseases and eating problem to them such as diarrhea, vomiting, choking, lack of appetite, constipation, injuries to mouth, rectal bleeding and worst-case death to the stray dogs. There is still lack of research of producing food for stray dog food. Therefore, this research is focused to develop manufacturing processes to remanufacture chicken bone waste into stray dog food based on standard. This alternative may help to avoid mentioned problems to stray dogs eating diet. In this research, dry stray dog food has been produced in the form of biscuit treats. The machines and equipment used in the stray dog food manufacturing are drying oven, electric oven, crusher machine, high speed blender, electronic scale and dog-boned mould. The stray dog food is produced according to the developed process sequence. Important element in the manufacturing process is controlled process parameters including baking temperature and duration, ingredients compositions of raw material, binders and stabilizer in each sample. The raw material used is chicken bone waste, binders used are corn starch, whole egg and coconut oil, while stabilizer used is curcumin powder. At the end of this research, stray dog food samples have been produced and tested to the stray dogs using feeding trials approach. It is found that the parameters to remanufacture the stray dog food from recycle chicken bone waste are at 130° for 80 minutes using composition of 20% chicken bone waste, 47% corn flour, 20% coconut oil, 10% whole egg, 3% curcumin powder. The produced food samples also passed feeding trials experiment to the stray dogs. Therefore, it is proven that chicken bone waste can be remanufactured into stray dog food using the suggested parameters in this research.
