Evaluating glucose-based carbohydrates for use in canine diets
… macronutrient digestibility, and effects on fecal characteristics, microbiota composition, and fermentative end-products. Our first aim was to determine the chemical composition of carbohydrate sources commonly incorporated into pet foods. We evaluated various whole grains, processed grains, …

Indices of gut health and intestinal microbial ecology of the cat as affected by ingestion of select carbohydrates varying in fermentative capacity
… 1) to determine nutrient digestibility and fecal fermentative end-product outcome variables as affected by inclusion of select dietary fiber and fermentable carbohydrate sources, and 2) to determine the microbiome and metagenome of the feline gastrointestinal tract as they relate to fiber …

Nutritional and Health Consequences of Feeding Diets of Varied Macronutrient Composition and Subjected to Select Processing Conditions in Domestic and Wild Felids
… changes in macronutrient digestibilities and fecal fermentative end-products of raw and extruded diets fed to domestic and captive exotic felids; and (2) to measure metabolic and transcriptomic changes in domestic cats fed high-protein or high-carbohydrate kibble diets. Study 1 determined the …

Evaluation of novel plant- and yeast-based protein sources on nutrient digestibility, fecal metabolites, and taurine status in dogs and cats
… total tract macronutrient digestibility (ATTD), fecal fermentative end-products, and microbiota composition in dogs compared with a poultry by-product meal diet (CON). The third aim was to evaluate changes in taurine status and circulating essential and non-essential amino acids in dogs fed a …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
With growing pet populations and the trend of pet humanization, the demand for functional ingredients that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition has continued to increase in the pet food industry. Yeast products may serve as functional ingredients due to their potential health benefits as …
