Description Pig slaughter is mainly done in India for its meat and offal’s, along with them, other edible by-products like ears, feet, lard, blood, bones etc are also obtained which has a great potential to utilise in the preparation of pet foods in traditional methods. The present work was designed in order to utilize the pig ear lobes as dried pet chews by using traditional methods like solar drying method which serves as cost effective method for preparation of feed stuff for pet animals. Solar drying method was initially standardised by drying the pig ear lobes in solar dryer at different time intervals of (T1-3day solar drying, T2- 4 day solar drying, T3-5 day solar drying) along with control which was dried under sun (37oC ± 1o C) for one dayand their quality was analysed. The results revealed significant (P<0.05) differences for treatment samples when compared to control sample for all the parameters studied, except for crude protein, cohesiveness and overall acceptability which was insignificant. Texture profile analysis revealed significant (P<0.05) differences among all the samples for hardness, springiness, chewiness. However, sensory evaluation results revealed high scores for the sample which was solar dried for 4 days (T2) when compared with the other treatments.
Key words:Pet chews, Solar drying, Ear lobes, Pigs.
