Beef Testicle

GSDSammie · 12-19-2011, 11:52 AM

Does anyone feed beef testicle? Is it messy, and do you cut it up or feed it whole? I purchased some this weekend and they are rather large! They are also very squishy and I'm wondering if some liquid might come out?

Would it count as a just muscle meat, or is it considered to be richer (like heart)?

Thanks!

No, have never fed them. I know there are people who eat them. You may have to experiment, cut into them and feed some small amounts to see how the dogs do.

I've never seen them for sale - Safeway is pretty conservative LOL. Some restaurants here in Colorado serve them breaded, as Rocky Mountain Oysters......

Not on my shopping list I'm afraid (and I do feed raw....) But you can cut them up (as suggested) and just feed the way you would feed any raw food. (Though I wouldn't consider them to be a full meal - you might want to just add them to something else. I would consider them to be muscle meat.)

Curious, here, and still learning about raw.

Why would testicles be considered MM? There's no muscle in them, they're glandular tissue. Are things like pancreas (also a gland) considered MM?

As some wise old raw feeder once said:

“if it doesn’t secrete, feed as meat”

The testes secrete sex hormones and should therefore, in my mind, be fed as organ meat. Enjoy!
