“…Because this caring activity of diet preparation is very important to humans and the majority of owners formulate the RMBD by themselves according to other people's suggestions, nutritional websites and books, or without following any guidelines at all; and very few turn to the professional advice; thus, most home-made diets are imbalanced nutritionally due to the lack of knowledge of specific nutritional requirements and the great individual variation (Larsen et al, 2012;Heinze et al, 2012;Morgan et al, 2017;Morelli et al, 2019). For this reason, after long-lasting feeding, these arbitrary formulated diets might cause nutritional disorders, especially in young or senior animals (Larsen et al, 2012;Heinze et al, 2012;Kölle & Schmidt, 2015;Morelli et al, 2019;Verbrugghe et al, 2017). A study in the USA pointed out that home-made and commercial RMBD was not nutritionally balanced in terms of Ca/P ratio, Vitamins A, E, and D and these imbalances might cause negative consequences on animal health (Freeman et al, 2001).…”

Keeping and feeding of companion carnivores (dogs and cats) appear to be a simple activity for a shallow observer. By a multidimensional approach, all three domains of health can be analysed in the course of pet-feeding. The interest of animal health requires healthy, nutritious, and non-infectious pet food. At the same time, public health necessitates safety for pet owners and their families. By going much deeper, the environmental impacts of pets and pet foods can be identified. This review gathers the animal and human health and environmental aspects of domestic carnivore feeding. Based on the literature, it can be claimed that for the present, few data are available to determine the right way of feeding to reach the balance between all three domains of health.

Considering the original nature of carnivorism among dogs and cats, nowadays these pets are increasingly fed BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food/Bone And Raw Food) diet to improve their health conditions. However, this diet may also carry health risks, such as vitamin or mineral deficiencies, and infection with pathogens including parasites. In our study, fecal samples of 89 pet animals kept on BARF diet were subjected to coprological examination followed by molecular analyses. Six of them shed eggs of Dicrocoelium dendriticum. This result was confirmed with PCR and sequencing, and in one case, the DNA of Fasciola hepatica was also demonstrated. In addition, oocysts of Cystoisospora canis, a Cystoisospora ohioensis-like sp. and Eimeria stiedai, as well as sporocysts of a Sarcocystis sp. were also detected. All samples were negative for Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. In conclusion, no evidence was found for the infection of BARF-fed dogs and cats with parasites that are usually associated with this diet and considered as clinico-pathological risk factors for these pets themselves (e.g., N. caninum, T. gondii). However, fluke eggs (probably originating from ruminants) and oocysts of E. stiedai (from rabbit liver in the food) were demonstrated as pseudoparasites. These species are usually not considered among parasite-associated risks of BARF-feeding, implying that other animals living near BARF-fed pets are neglected in this context. However, where intermediate hosts of D. dendriticum occur in urban areas, BARF-feeding may indirectly affect later other dogs and cats. It was also shown here that BARF-feeding may contribute to the contamination of the environment with E. stiedai oocysts, thus increasing the risks of biliary coccidiosis in nearby living pet rabbits that would otherwise not have access to oocysts of E. stiedai.

Der BARF-Trend in der Hundeernährung – Eine Herausforderung für den Tierarzt?

Das Füttern von sog. BARF-Rationen ist ein aktueller Ernährungstrend bei Hunden. Der Übersichtsartikel beschreibt das tierärztliche Spannungsfeld zwischen Motivation und Kenntnisstand der Hundebesitzer auf der einen Seite und den wesentlichen Nachteilen der BARF-Fütterung auf der anderen Seite. Bei vielen Hundebesitzern besteht der Wunsch nach einer „natürlichen und gesunden Fütterung“, wohingegen die Nachteile der BARF-Fütterung maßgeblich durch Imbalancen in der Nährstoffzufuhr und der Kontamination mit Salmonellen hauptsächlich durch rohes Geflügelfleisch gekennzeichnet sind.
