宠物食品的蛋白质

美国一个国家的科研人员用于科研,包括用于宠物食品研究的狗和猫约为150,000只。尽管研究工作不断推进,但是NRC最新版本的宠物营养需要量中的资料却多数是十多年以前发表的。了解单个营养成分的生物利用率对于准确配     

处方食品在犬病治疗中的应用

1943年 Dr.Mark Morris为了要治疗一只患肾衰竭的导盲犬 Buddy,研究了一种特殊的食物 ,解决了 Buddy的医疗问题。这是首次有人以控制营养的方式来管理疾病。从此以后 ,逐渐发展形成了目前宠物临床应用的一系列处方食品。需要强调的是 :绝大多数处方食品并不能单独作为药物用来治疗犬的疾病 ,但它在疾病的医治过程中能最有效地配合动物疾病的康复 ;能维持和调理康复动物所需的营养和需求。所以使用处方食品必须在兽医师的指导下使用。然而作为一个兽医师只有熟悉动物的饲养和营养学 ,充分了解处方食品 ,并加以正确的选择 ,才能使宠物得到最…

宠物食品适口性评估方法研究进展

适口性是衡量宠物食品成功与否的重要标准之一。不同品种宠物对同一款宠物食品适口性不同,同一只宠物生命发育阶段的变化对同一款宠物食品适口性也可能不同,动物因素是研究适口性不可忽略的因素。犬猫特殊的习性也会影响其在采食上的适口性选择,例如在摄取脂肪、蛋白质和碳水化合物的侧重差异。目前,适口性评估方法一般采用条件反射法、单碗法和双碗法。条件反射法在评估适口性的同时,更侧重改善动物不良采食习惯,单碗法和双碗法则是将采食量通过数字化呈现,直观比较采食差异评估适口性。近年来,也出现了使用电子设备对采食时的动物监测一系列生物学指标以评估适口性的新方法。本文归纳总结了目前常用的犬、猫宠物食品适口性评估方法并阐述其特点,为后续对犬猫宠物食品的研发提供参考。

Understanding regulations affecting pet foods

In the United States, pet foods are subject to regulation at both the federal and the state levels. The US Food and Drug Administration has jurisdiction over all animal feeds (including pet foods, treats, chews, supplements, and ingredients) in interstate commerce, which includes imported products. Many states adopt and enforce at least in part the Association of American Feed Control Officials Model Bill and Model Regulations for Pet Food and Specialty Pet Food. Thus, all pet foods in multi-state distribution are subject to a host of labeling requirements covering aspects such as product names, ingredient lists, nutrient content guarantees, and nutritional adequacy statements. Ingredients must be GRAS (generally recognized as safe) substances, approved food additives, or defined by Association of American Feed Control Officials for their intended use. Pet food labels may not bear claims that are false or misleading or that state or imply use for the treatment or prevention of disease. Pet foods that are found to be adulterated or misbranded may be subject to seizure or other enforcement actions.     

Evaluation and use of pet foods: general considerations in using pet foods for adult maintenance

Questions regarding pet animal nutrition are probably among the most frequent queries encountered by companion animal veterinarians. Given the plethora of pet food products available and the amount of advertising used to promote them, it is not surprising that pet owners have concerns as to what they should feed their pets. This "practical" review of pet foods and feeding is designed to assist veterinarians in making nutritional recommendations to their clients, with respect to feeding normal adult pets at maintenance.
