I should have told you that the Doodle Daley is a green plastic fire hydrant shaped dog waste receptacle.  It's cute   and I would love to hear from anyone who would comment.    Thank you.

Good morning.  I have owned dogs, usually two at a time, for more than 30 years.

I know that what goes in must come out and there is a question I am asking all of your members to answer for me.

I invented a one-of-a-kind product that is a help in cleaning up your yard.  It is called The Doodle Daley.  I don't know if you are the one to clean up after your dog or is it someone else in your household.  Either way, I felt like I was at a 

Easter egg hunt every day, only my basket was a recycled plastic grocery bag.

Bag blowing in the wind, my "eggs" not going into bag and I had had enough.

There is nothing on the market like the Doodle Daley.  This is the only product that has a handle, wheels, and a lid.  The lid opens revealing a cavity covered by a plastic bag.  After you find the "eggs" and deposit into the bag, close lid and move Doodle Daley to whatever area in your yard is good for you.  

My question to you is     Would you buy one?????   I have been at this for a few years and don't  know whether to continue with this or bury in shallow grave.    Any feedback will be appreciated.     You can google Susan Drexler, inventor to see more info.     Thank you.

Melody and All:  Melody sent through a study showing the efficacy of Sorghum vs. Rice and Sorghum actually turns out quite well in the study.  And, she notes in her comment below, Sorghum's perception is low with pet parents, perhaps based more on a perceived belief rather than on facts.  This perhaps could be attributed to rice industry being better marketers than the Sorghum people.  Anyway, what is the general thinking of the participants within this forum when it comes to Sorghum in pet food (dog and cat especially)?  As I noted in an earlier comment, Sorghum is successfully and extensively used in the animal feed industry.  I appreciate everyone's input and good thinking on this.  Thank you all.  Sincerely,  J. Zenner

Melody:  Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.  I will read the study and I also appreciate your candid remarks reference Sorghum use and pet parents.  Thanks again.

Hi James, I couldn't recall the exact title but with some digging I found it again.

The Use of Sorghum and Corn as Alternatives to Rice in Dog Foods

It's a tough sell to pet parents though, even with studies backing it.  Incomplete information in the pet parent community is rampant, largely because some 'authorities' on the topic are only looking for negatives.  They know corn and sorghum is less digestible in dogs, but the fact that the processing makes it more digestible isn't common knowledge.  If I were to use it, it would be very important to make that point clear to pet parents in the product information.  It would still be very difficult to convince them though, which is probably why many pet food producers don't go there.

Radhakrishna, there are quite a few causes of fines, ranging from product formulation, to operating parameters to maintenance. drop me a quick email to let me know what you are working on and perhaps we can identify the main cause with your product

Dear Melody:  Thanks so much for your feedback.  Appreciate it.  I would be very interested in reading the study you refer to about Sorghum being an acceptable alternative to rice. Do you have an Internet link you can send me so I can read it or if not, do you have another recommendation on how I can read the study?  Thanks again.  J. Zenner

Hi

What are the possible factors that can give rise to fines during extrusion of pet food?  Can any body give suggestions to reduce fines formation?
