Bioavailability is a term used largely in pharmacology. According to the definition, bioavailability describes the extent to which a drug is absorbed and ultimately available to the body. The bioavailability of an active ingredient is always lower than the amount administered, unless it is administered intravenously. In relation to BARF, bioavailability can be transferred to nutrition. Here it determines how many nutrients in the food consumed can be absorbed as a percentage. Accordingly, bioavailability has a direct effect on requirement values, because the higher the bioavailability of nutrients, the lower the requirement value.
Certain rules apply to dogs , cats and ferrets , especially when it comes to BARF, in order to obtain the necessary nutrients. Therefore, in addition to the BARF meat, special attention is paid to the sufficient amount of fruit and vegetables as well as vitamins , oils and minerals . The BARF calculator helps you to find a balanced diet for your four-legged friends and takes bioavailability into account.
