KIBBLE Meaning and Definition

1. Kibble is a noun that refers to dry, hard pellets of animal food, typically used for feeding domesticated pets such as dogs and cats. It is a common form of commercial pet food that is made by extruding and dehydrating a mixture of meat, grains, vegetables, and other ingredients.

   Typically, kibble consists of a variety of ingredients that provide essential nutrients to meet the dietary requirements of pets. These ingredients may include meat byproducts, grains such as rice or corn, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, and fat. The mixture is then processed through a machine called an extruder, which shapes the wet dough into small, bite-sized pieces. These pieces are then dried at high temperatures, removing most of the moisture to create the hard pellets commonly known as kibble.

   Kibble serves as a convenient and cost-effective option for pet owners, as it has a long shelf life, does not require refrigeration, and is generally easy to measure and serve. It is designed to provide a balanced and complete diet for pets and may come in a variety of flavors and formulations to cater to different animal needs, including specific dietary requirements dictated by age, size, breed, or health conditions.

   While kibble is one of the most common forms of pet food, some pet owners prefer alternative options such as wet food, homemade meals, or raw diets. These choices are often made based on individual preferences, concerns about the quality or ingredients in commercial kibble, or specific dietary recommendations from veterinarians.

2. In mining, a large iron bucket in which ore is drawn to the surface.

Etymology of KIBBLE

The term "kibble" originated from the Scots language, primarily derived from the word "kible" or "kibble", which means "equipment" or "apparatus". This word, in turn, is believed to have its roots in Middle Dutch, where it was spelled as "kobel", referring to a rounded wooden bucket or a large tub used for various purposes. Over time, the meaning of "kibble" evolved, and it came to represent small pieces of food, particularly dry pet food, which resembles the size and shape of those small buckets.
