Current incidence of melamine
and cyanuric acid in feed
In China melamine was also added intentionally to
vegetable protein concentrates to increase the content of
nitrogen compounds (crude protein) in these products. The
first problems appeared in 2007 in the USA in the form of
the mass death of cats and dogs caused by renal failure. The
cause was contaminated gluten added as protein concentrate
to feed (Dobson, 2008).
