Two hundred and thirty four fingerlings (average weight 2.53 ± 0.04 g) were randomly distributed into six treatments with each of three replicates. Six semi purified diets either containing NG and/or G corn- starch (42.4%) were fed to respective group. Total saturated fatty acids in liver increased with the increasing level of G starch in the diet whereas reverse trend observed for monounsaturated fatty acids. -
Survey of Owner Motivations and Veterinary Input of Owners Feeding Diets Containing Raw Animal Products
Survey of owner motivations and veterinary input of owners feeding diets containing raw animal products Stewart K. Morgan1, Susan Willis2 and Megan L. Shepherd1 1 Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences/Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, VA, United States 2 Center for Survey Research, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, VA, United States ABSTRACT Background. The practice of feeding of diets containing raw animal products (RAP) to pets (dogs and cats) is discouraged by veterinary organizations and governmental public health organizations. Nevertheless, the practice of feeding RAP to pets is increasing in popularity. Pet owner motivations for feeding RAP diets to pets have not been explored and the benefits of RAP diets remain largely anecdotal. We hypothesized that pet owners feeding RAP diets would not rely on veterinary advice in choosing their pet's diet. We also hypothesized that these owners would have lower levels of trust in veterinary advice with respect to nutrition relative to pet owners not feeding RAP. Methods. An anonymous web-based survey was developed to identify pet owner moti- vations for feeding RAP diets, and to characterize the veterinarian-client relationships of individuals feeding RAP diets. Results. There were 2,337 respondents and 2,171 completed surveys. Of survey respondents, 804 reported feeding RAP at the time of the survey. While 20% of pet owners feeding RAP relied on online resources to determine what or how much RAP to feed, only 9% reported consulting with a veterinarian in making decisions about feeding RAP. -
(Apog) Australian Pet Food Industry Overview
AUSTRALIAN PET OWNERS GROUP (APOG) Industry Brief Overview The main players in this 100 billion dollar world wide self regulated industry with no legislative oversight are Mars, Nestle, Colgate Palmolive and other Multinationals including General Mills with the food production and sales with Amazon just joining. Private Equity are making major moves into the Pet Food Industry with Bayer being a major player in the medicinal side. The Australian manufacturers for the Woolworths owned Baxters Dog Food products Australian Pet Brands Pty Ltd who are owned by the Real Pet Food Company (Private Equity) which just in the last year sold out for one billion dollars to a joint venture between two Chinese and one Singaporean private equity companies? Real Pet Food Company: Chinese investors gobble up Queensland ... www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10- 24/chinese-investors...pet-food-company/9081298 Oct 24, 2017 - The majority owner of The (TRPC), Quadrant Private Equity, Real Pet Food Company has sold its interests to the Beijing-based Hosen Capital, ... Pet Food Industry Association of Australia (PFIAA) The PFIAA is the Pet Food manufacturers, suppliers and distributors representative group/union which obviously has too much control over our governments. They represent 98% of all manufactured/processed and sold pet food by volume in Australia. Their following Mission Statement with point 3 actively promoting processed pet food through their own self regulation totally contradicts point 1, consideration of the needs of pets and the community. The pet needs are obvious and include the need for safe and healthy food which appears not a priority with the PFIAA. -
An Examination of the History of the Commercial Dog Food Industry and Popular Perceptions of Canine Dietary Patterns
FEEDING THE MODERN DOG: AN EXAMINATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL DOG FOOD INDUSTRY AND POPULAR PERCEPTIONS OF CANINE DIETARY PATTERNS By Rachel Elizabeth Kelly A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies 2012 ABSTRACT FEEDING THE MODERN DOG: AN EXAMINATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL DOG FOOD INDUSTRY AND POPULAR PERCEPTIONS OF CANINE DIETARY PATTERNS By Rachel Elizabeth Kelly The commercial dog food industry in the US has grown significantly over the past century. Fifty years ago feeding dogs “table scraps” was the norm; however, as dogs went from “pets” to “family members,” the dog food industry convinced dog guardians that feeding table scraps was inappropriate. Commercial diets grew in popularity because nutritional science made dog food seem complicated; veterinarians recommended them; effective marketing convinced guardians they were ideal; and socio-economic conditions made purchasing processed dog foods highly acceptable. Today most dogs eat commercial diets, which consist largely of by-products from the human food industry. Problems with commercial dog food include diet-related health problems, animal welfare concerns, human dominance issues, and food safety concerns like the 2007 pet food recall. As a result, demand for alternative dog foods has risen. In addition to tracing the rise of the dog food industry, I use a dual methodology—personal meaning maps and surveys—to explore popular perceptions of canine dietary patterns in a convenience sample of dog guardians. Specifically, I examine whether the notion of dogs as family, factors leading to the growth of the pet food industry, and critiques are present in my findings. -
