139 kcal per 100 g
What kind of food is this?
The liver of a sheep. Copper is 6.98mg per 100g — especially high even among meats — with 7390µg vitamin A and 7.37mg iron.
Vitamin B12 is also especially high among meats, at 90µg. 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 lot, use it as one part of a meal, not 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. If it was sold for people's tables, such as at a supermarket, cook it through to the center before feeding. If it was sold as raw food for dogs, follow that product's instructions.
