What kind of food is this?
The liver of the duck. Per 100g: vitamin A 12000µg, copper 5.96mg, iron 30.5mg — all especially high even among meats.
Vitamin B12 is 54µg per 100g—especially high even among meats. Vitamin B12 is a vitamin involved in making red blood cells and in nerve function.
How to serve
Because even a small amount of liver moves the nutrition numbers a great deal, use it as one part of the meal, not as the main meat. In breeds known for a tendency to store copper in the liver (Bedlington Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, and others), take care that copper-rich foods do not appear day after day. Products sold for the human table, such as from supermarkets, should be cooked through to the center before feeding. Products sold as raw food for dogs should be used as directed on that product.
