Lamb testicles are a nutrient-dense addition to your pet’s diet, offering a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. As a secreting organ, they are particularly high in B vitamins (especially vitamin B12), supporting energy production, metabolism, and overall vitality. They also contain important minerals like zinc, iron, and selenium, which contribute to immune function, muscle development, and skin health.
Lamb testicles can be used to fulfill the organ content requirement in homemade raw diets, recommended to make up approximately 5% of your pet’s total food intake. They can also be offered as a highly nutritious topper a few times a week to enhance an already balanced meal.
Sourced from New Zealand pasture-raised lamb, these testicles are free from hormones and antibiotics, ensuring a natural and wholesome food option for your pet. Whether used as part of a well-rounded raw diet or as an occasional nutrient boost, lamb testicles provide a unique and beneficial protein source for carnivorous pets.
Key Benefits:
✔ High in vitamin B12 for energy and cell function
✔ Rich in zinc, iron, and selenium for immune and muscle health
✔ Supports a species-appropriate, whole-prey diet
✔ Free from hormones and antibiotics
Feeding raw testicles provides a natural way to enhance your pet’s nutrition while aligning with their ancestral diet. Serve frozen or thawed, whole or chopped, based on your pet’s preference.
- Small Chunked Mixture: Cut organs into very small chunks and create a muscle meat mixture with the organ cubes. As your pet begins eating the mixture, slowly introduce larger chunks of organ and less of muscle meat until the pet is eating organs in whole cuts.
- Frozen Portion Servings: Prep organs into individual portion sizes and freeze to feed. Additionally, blend all organs into a paste, divide into ice trays, to freeze into cubes. Slowly provide less frozen portions until the pet is eating thawed out servings.
- Grind & Hide: Organs are soft enough to grind them at home even if you do not own a grinder. Dice up partially frozen organs then put in a food processor to blend. Mix in ground meat, bone broth, kefir or veggies to encourage eating. Phase-out blended organs into small chunks.
- Lightly Sear: The absolute last resort is lightly searing the outside and the middle must remain raw. Organs are highly affected by cooking, though the sear will encourage eating. Slowly phase out the searing until the pet is eating raw organs.
