Yeast-purified beta-1,3/1,6-glucans (BG) can modulate dogs’ immune systems and microbiome, but the optimal inclusion dose remains unknown. The aim of study was to evaluate effects 0.0, 0.07, 0.14, 0.28% BG in a dry extruded diet on digestibility, immunity, fecal microbiota healthy adult dogs. Eight male female border collies [n = 4; body condition score (BCS) 5] English cocker spaniels (n BCS 5), aged 3.5 ± 0.5 years, were randomly distributed into two 4 × balanced Latin squares. Fecal...
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether providing chitosan (CHI) cows fed diets supplemented with whole raw soybeans (WRS) would affect the nutrient intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation bacterial populations, microbial protein synthesis, N utilization, blood metabolites, milk yield composition dairy cows. Twenty-four multiparous Holstein (141 ± 37.1 d in milk, 38.8 6.42 kg/d yield; mean SD) were enrolled a 4 × Latin square design experiment 23-d periods. Cows blocked...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the macronutrients composition, fatty acid and amino profiles, essential minerals content all vegan foods for dogs cats available in Brazilian market, compare results with FEDIAF (2019) AAFCO recommendations. Four pet were assessed (three one cats). comparisons made a descriptive manner. All met minimum recommendations macronutrients. Arachidonic not reported any food label. Regarding recommendations, had low calcium, another potassium third...
Prebiotics promote health benefits, however, there is no consensus on the minimal intake period required in order to obtain good results. This study evaluated effect of time ingestion prebiotics fecal fermentation products and immunological features dogs. Twenty-four adult dogs were randomly distributed a block design with six groups four treatments. Diet variation factors. Diets either control diet without addition prebiotic (CO) or inclusion 1% commercial product containing minimum 0.38%...
Granulomatous colitis, or ulcerative is an infectious and inflammatory disease that primarily affects the colon occasionally extends to ileum, particularly in young Boxer French Bulldogs. Unlike typical chronic colitis small animals, early onset of suggests a genetic predisposition. The condition characterized by overgrowth Escherichia coli, specifically enteroinvasive variant, which displaces beneficial gut bacteria, contributing its nature. Secondary dysbiosis chronic-active inflammation...
ABSTRACT Food allergy is defined as an abnormal immune system response to the ingestion of certain ingredients or food additives. Beta‐glucans may support management obesity, particularly due their immunomodulatory properties. However, possible adverse reactions this nutraceutical are little known. This report documents allergic skin reaction in a 6‐year‐old obese mixed‐breed dog after consuming 0.1% purified beta‐1,3/1,6‐glucans from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and subsequent dermatological...
The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) and the American Hospital (AAHA) recommend that treats make up no more than 10% of daily energy intake for dogs cats. This study assessed whether replacing maintenance requirements with commercial affects nutritional adequacy diets. Labels from 226 dry extruded diets adult 124 cats in Brazilian market were analyzed, along 170 dog 114 cat (dry, wet, or liquid). Maintenance requirement calculations followed FEDIAF (2024) guidelines. All...
Arterial hypertension is influenced by the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites, which play a crucial role in host health. Dietary peptides are multifunctional molecules with therapeutic potential for managing hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate impact of incorporating enzymatically hydrolyzed poultry byproduct meal (EHPM-c) into extruded dry diets on fecal blood pressure parameters elderly obese cats. Eighteen owners neutered, clinically healthy male female cats various breeds...
Abstract Pet owners often don’t acknowledge the need for home-prepared diet formulation by a trained professional and may use recipes from sources such as internet. Macronutrient mineral composition of diets were analyzed compared to NRC FEDIAF recommendations, heavy metal concentrations FDA maximum tolerable levels (MTL) dogs cats. Recipes adult (n = 75) cats 25) evaluated. Analyses protein, fat, fiber performed according AOAC, analyses using inductively coupled plasma optical emission...
Ruminants have a unique metabolism and digestion of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA). Unlike monogastric animals, the acid (FA) profile ingested by ruminants is not same as that reaching small intestine. The objective this study was to evaluate whole raw soybeans (WS) in diets replacer for calcium salts (CSFA) terms UFA abomasal digesta early- mid-lactation cows. Eight Holstein cows (80 ± 20 d milk, 22.9 0.69 kg/d milk yield, 580 kg body weight; mean standard deviation) with ruminal cannulas...
Abstract Background Canine obesity is the cause of several health issues, and may predispose other diseases, such as orthopaedic disorders, endocrinopathies, metabolic abnormalities cardiorespiratory disease which can lead to a decreased quality life reduced lifespan. Dog are considered overweight when their body weight ≥15% above ideal weight, obese exceeds 30% optimal. Prevalence canine estimated be around 5%–20%, up 30%–40% all dogs considered. Treatment based on loss programmes, focused...
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two prebiotics in different concentrations on nutrient digestibility, fermentative products and immunological variables adult dogs. Twenty-four dogs were randomly divided into six blocks according their metabolic body weights (BW0.75); within these groups, randomized four treatments: control without (CO); inclusion 0.5% prebiotic blend Yes-Golf (B1); 1.0% galactooligosaccharide (GOS); (B2). The experiment lasted 30 days, with 20 days adaptation 10...
Obesity is one of the most common nutritional disorders in dogs and cats related to development metabolic comorbidities. Weight loss recommended treatment, but success difficult due poor satiety control. Yeast beta-glucans are known as biological modifiers because their innumerable functions reported studies with mice humans, only study was found. This aimed evaluate effects a diet supplemented 0.1% beta-glucan on glucose, lipid homeostasis, inflammatory cytokines parameters obese dogs....
Among the undesirable changes associated with obesity, one possibility recently raised is dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota. Studies have shown in microbiota obese rats and humans, but there are still few studies that characterize compare fecal lean, dogs after weight loss. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate effects a loss program (WLP) addition comparing them those lean dogs. Twenty female different breeds, aged between 1 9 years were selected. They equally divided into two groups: Obese...
The objective of this experiment was to quantify the effects feeding polymer-coated slow-release urea on nutrient intake and total tract digestion, milk yield composition, balances, ruminal fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, blood parameters in dairy cows. Sixteen Holstein cows (580±20 kg live weight (mean ± standard deviation); 90 180 days (DIM); 28 kg/d average yield) were used a replicated 4 × Latin square experimental design. animals assigned each according DIM. randomly...
