• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D

• VitaminK

Unsaturated fatty acids:

• Linolenic acid 2%

Wheat bran: (One-half cup)

• 63 calories
• 4.5 g of protein
• 1.2 g of fat
• 18.7 g of carbohydrate
• 12.4 g of fiber
• 177 mg of magnesium
• 2.1 mg of zinc

Separate the egg yolk from egg white and beat the egg yolk well. Take wheat bran and Acetes indicus in equal quantities. Usually Acetes indicus is available in dry form but if you cannot get it in dry form then sun dry them so that it becomes dry. Now grind the Acetes indicus into a fine powder and mix it thoroughly with the wheat bran. Then add the egg yolk and mix all three ingredients into a coarse mixture without adding water. Now make tiny balls out of it and sun dry them till they become harder and also ensure that the moisture present in it due to the egg yolk is exhausted. Finally store them in an air tight container.

NOTE: since no water goes into making this food and also sun dried it is possible to keep this food for a longer period of time.

HAPPY FEEDING :-)
