You should be aiming to feed 3% of his weight so that would be about 330g a day.  I buy breast of lamb from the butchers and cut it into ribs. You can get it in morrisons but I dont know about asda, Introduce different meats slowly dont try to many varietys at once. I used to bash chicken wings with a rolling pin when I first started feeding barf. They just scoff them now in about 3 seconds flat.

I get these too!

Bracken has a 1/3 of the pack, (I defrost it, divide it, cover and fridge the rest) for teatime along with a dollop of whizzed veg, an evening primrose oil casule and followed by a chicken wing!  Tonight she also had a dollop of natural yog on top too ;)
I do feed her a breakfast meal of either sardines, pilchards, mackerel or tuna as well - she doesnt get meat for breakfast.
Shes about 13kg which seems fine for her height and build.

On the "not eating liver" point - a lot of people also flash-fry it (2 seconds each side in a hot pan) to get their dogs to eat it.
