I can pick up about 70 pounds of older freezer meat from home butchering. It's mainly pork without bone. So far my dogs digest everything I give them and whatever they find themselves. I need to know how much KAL ground dried bone meal powder to add to that. They also eat raw whole eggs. They also get chicken backs, raw tripe, beef liver, some spleen etc.
Thanks!

Perhaps for the food in which you feed chicken backs you can use this calculator to determine proportions?:

For bonemeal, assuming that yours is the same brand referred to in Karen Beckers books, you can refer to these tables:

The tables are specifically for the recipes in her books, where she feeds either chicken, turkey or beef. But I think boneless meat doesn’t contain calcium and there is marginal differences in phosphorus. Maybe you can see the difference between the pork you are serving and adjust accordingly.

If I’m not mistaken, adult dogs can regulate how much calcium they absorb in calcium rich diets, so slightly more calcium may not be a big deal (anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)

It’s great that your dogs have a varied diet. For the older freezer meat, you might start with about 1-2 teaspoons of ground dried bone meal powder per pound of meat to ensure they get enough calcium and phosphorus want more dog diet guide .

Chicken backs are quite bony. What I would do is just add some of the boneless pork to their meals instead of trying to use something line bonemeal. The ideal diet is 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% organ meat.

Agreed. I always make sure they get muscle meat with the chicken backs.
