I've just got back from a visit to the vets and I asked lots of questions about feeding raw.
The main questions I asked was what was about Neospara and is it connected to feeding raw and does raw meat have to be frozen prior to feeding???
And...Neospara is a form of Meningitis which is SOMETIMES present in cattle but it is extremely rare...humans as well as dogs can contract it if they eat contaminated meat.
Raw meat DOES NOT need to be frozen before consumption as humans as well as dogs can eat a certain percentage of bacteria before coming ill (i.e. food poisoning happens if food is out of date or left open to the elemnets etc)
Lets face it wild animals won't eat meat if its been dead too long!!
A study has taken place where animals have died and been tested and found to have had Neospara...these animal were NOT fed the raw diet and therefore it is not necessarily connected to feeding the raw diet.
Neospara is a protozoa and not a bactera. A protozoa is a parasite that live in in or on another organism (i.e animal or plant)
