  • Nutritional Support of Dogs and Cats After Surgery Or Illness

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Nutritional support early during the postoperative period or after onset of illness decreases the mortality rate and shortens the duration of hospitalization of dogs and cats. The preferred feeding route is dependent on the condition of the patient. If there are no contraindications, every patient must receive nutritional support, at least consistent with the resting energy requirement (RER). Several nutrients may be beneficial during healing and recovery from illness or surgery, but further research is needed to empirically certify the effects of these nutrients in critically ill patients. Keywords Recovery, Food Supplementation, Nutrition, Nutraceuticals 1. Introduction Nutritional support is important for animals during recovery from illness or surgery. Many animals will recover from mild illness or standard surgical procedures at home, but patients with more severe disease or conditions will be hospitalized during recovery. It is recommended to have a protocol for nutritional support of hospitalized patients since early nutritional support has been reported to improve outcome and to shorten hospitalization time in humans [1] [2] and dogs [3].

  • Common Terms Used in Animal Feeding and Nutrition
    Common Terms Used in Animal Feeding and Nutrition Uttam Saha, Program Coordinator, Feed and Environmental Water Laboratory Leticia Sonon, Program Coordinator, Soil, Plant, and Water Laboratory Dennis Hancock, Assistant Professor, Extension Forage Specialist Nicholas Hill, Professor, Crop and Soil Sciences Lawton Stewart, Assistant Professor, Extension Beef Specialist Gary Heusner, Professor, Extension Equine Specialist David E. Kissel, Professor and Director, Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories The largest operating cost in a livestock production enterprise is the feed bill. To keep this cost low, one must sup- ply the right amount of feed to the animals. Overfeeding is wasteful. Underfeeding will decrease animal perfor- mance and profitability. Therefore, proper animal feeding and nutrition are crucial to the profitability of the live- stock enterprise. Laboratory analyses of the composition of feed or forage are used to assess their nutritive value (Figure 1). A typi- cal feed analysis includes measurements of some important quality attributes or parameters (e.g., crude protein, fiber, digestibility, etc.) used to define nutritive value. Other parameters are analyzed under some special circum- stances. For example, acid detergent insoluble crude protein (ADICP) is usually only measured if heat damage to the feed is suspected. Feed or Forage Sample Dry Water Removed Organic Matter (Burned) Burn Moisture Free Feed/Dry Matter (Remains) Ash (Remains): Neutral Detergent Extraction Various Minerals and Sand Neutral Detergent

  • Whole Food Veterinary Clinical Nutrition
    2019 Veterinary Guide Whole Food Veterinary Clinical Nutrition Comprehensive Veterinary Product Guide for the exclusive use by licensed veterinarians and technicians It’s Time Vets Take Back Nutrition! JustFoodForDogs offers the world’s first line of clinically proven, scientifically tested, specialist approved daily and veterinary support fresh whole food diets. We have amassed a tremendous amount of pet nutrition knowledge since the first kibble and canned commercial formulas were created, and many veterinarians and pet owners are no longer accepting these feed grade foods – and their highly processed ingredients – as the best nutrition to give to their pets. Our mission is to transform our pets’ health through nutrition and veterinarians are our most valued partners. Our daily recipes are the only whole food diets that have been clinically shown to boost the immune system through independent university research. The results were published in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition. Our line of daily diets have undergone robust humane feeding trials and digestibility studies through independent universities, and we are committed to ongoing research in fresh whole food nutrition. Our concept is simple: we use only ingredients inspected and approved by the USDA for human consumption to maximize bioavailability and quality and to minimize potential contaminants and toxins. We cook the food to minimum safe temperatures established by the FDA in our own kitchens in Southern California – nothing is raw. Our food is prepared fresh daily in small batches, instantly chilled and packaged fresh frozen. Refrigeration is our only preservative. We worked closely with board certified specialists in various fields on the development of our veterinary line of diets, and we regularly test our food and ingredients through independent laboratories and through our board certified veterinary toxicologist and professor at Western University, Dr.

  • Traditional and Novel Carbohydrate Sources for Dogs and Cats As the Most Important Source of Energy for Dogs and Cats, Carbohydrates Are Vital Nutrients in Pet Diets
    December 2015 US$39.00 SPECIAL REPORT Traditional and Novel Carbohydrate Sources for Dogs and Cats As the most important source of energy for dogs and cats, carbohydrates are vital nutrients in pet diets. Carbohydrates are also critical to the proper manufacture of most commercial pet foods. Fortunately, an abundance of safe carbohydrates—natural and synthetic—are available to the pet food industry for use in all types of dietary formulas, even those that are grain-free. by Heather F. Mangian, Ph.D.; Maria R.C. de Godoy, Ph.D.; and George C. Fahey Jr., Ph.D. Traditional and Novel Carbohydrate Sources for Dogs and Cats by Heather F. Mangian, Ph.D.; Maria R.C. de Godoy, Ph.D.; and George C. Fahey Jr., Ph.D. hen the topic of carbohydrates comes up related to pet animal nutrition, some consider this very important nutrient category as a Wtoxin to be avoided at all costs. Popular press articles and Internet chat routinely demonize carbohydrates as being harmful for the health and well-being of dogs and cats. However, a quick review of the facts about carbohydrates reveals their importance in companion animal nutrition and commercial pet food production. Carbohydrates are the major energy-containing constituent of plants and represent about 60 to 90 percent of plant dry matter. In plants, carbohydrates fall either into the “structural” category, composed of plant cell walls, or the “non-structural” category, composed of plant cell contents. The carbohydrates found in the cell contents are starch, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, fructan polysaccharides and resistant starch. Cell walls consist of beta glucans, pectins, gums, hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin/phenolics.
