Metamucil can also be used if ok'ed by your vet at 1g per pound of weight once to twice a day as needed to maintain stool consistency. It does not work overly well when used for an already blocked up cat, but if the situation hasn't become immediate yet, you may be able to try this first.
Pasteurization is the process of heating milk up and then quickly cooling it down to eliminate certain bacteria. For effective pasteurization, milk can be heated up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, but this method isn't very common. More common is heating milk up to at least 161.6 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds, which is known as High-temperature Short-Time (HTST) pasteurization, or flash pasteurization.
To pasteurize meat, USDA and my chart give us minimum temperatures, like 165Â°F for poultry and 145Â°F for fish. But if you dig into the data by USDA scientists, you learn that this is a distillation of the facts designed to make things easy for the public.Pasteurization of meat is not just a matter of temperature.f you are cooking at high temps, carryover can be up to 10Â°F. If you are cooking at low temps, it might not go up the full 5Â°F. But 5Â°F is a good rule of thumb for most roasts. Medium rare is the best temp for beef, lamb, venison steaks, roasts, and duck breasts.
