“…According to Kawauchi et al (2011), the extrapolation of the inclusion level of an ingredient to 1000 g/kg may increase the determination errors of its digestibility, because results may exceed the physiological digestive capacity of the animal. Other limitation of the regression method is that the substitution of one ingredient for another alters the nutritional and energetic composition of the diets.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the digestibility and palatability of an isolated porcine protein (IPP) for adult dogs. In the digestibility assay, eight adult Beagle dogs were distributed in a double Latin square (4 Â 4) experimental design. Diets containing 0, 100, 200, or 300 g IPP/kg were offered. Diets (0-300 g IPP/kg) presented 229.6-265.3 g/kg crude protein (CP) and 17.59-18.73 MJ/kg metabolisable energy (ME). The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of diets and of the IPP were evaluated by analysis of regression. For the palatability test, diets containing 0 and 300 g IPP/kg were compared using 16 adult dogs. Dry matter (DM) and CP ATTD and the ME content of the IPP were determined as 99.2%, 86.4% and 22.48 MJ/kg, respectively. Faecal DM (424-342 g/kg) and pH (6.86-5.98) were linearly reduced (p < .01) as dietary IPP increased. The other evaluated faecal characteristics were not influenced by the treatments (p > .05). Lower intake ratio was obtained with the diet with 300 g IPP/kg, compared with the diet with 0 g IPP/kg (p < .01). The inclusion of IPP in the diet increases the digestibility of dietary nutrients and ME content; however, it reduces food palatability and faecal DM. Isolated porcine protein presents high nutrient digestibility and ME content for dogs. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…In fact, some studies showed that supplementation of cat diets with WB promotes reduced digestibility of most nutrients when compared to diets without fibre supplementation (KIENZLE et al, 1991;FISCHER et al, 2012). KAWAUCHI et al (2011) observed that, in dogs, the replacement of starch by maize gluten feed in proportions of 7, 14 or 21% led to a linear reduction in the digestibility of DM, CP, AHF and gross energy compared to a diet without inclusion of the ingredient. Thus, the absence of effects related to the digestibility of the nutrients found in the present study suggests a similarity between the quality of the fibre present in WB and CGF.…”

Substitution of wheat bran by corn gluten feed without steep water in cats feed

et al. 2017

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of substituting wheat bran (WB) by corn gluten feed without steep water (CGF) in cats feeds regarding the nutritional value of the diet, stool characteristics, time of food passage through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), intestinal gas production and concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in blood and faeces. Twenty eight cats were distributed in a randomized block design with four treatments (0, 2.6, 5.3 or 8.0% CGF, based on dry matter, substituting for WB) and seven replicates. Substitution of WB by CGF decreased (P<0.01) the digestibility of acid detergent fibre without influencing (P>0.05) the digestibility of other nutrients and apparent metabolizable energy. There was also no effect (P>0.05) on faeces moisture, faecal pH and score, food transit time in the GIT, intestinal gas area and SCFA concentrations in faeces, while blood concentrations of propionate were influenced differently by the different feeds and sampling times (P<0.05). Thus replacement of up to 8% of WB by CGF may be done safely in cats feed.

“…However, promoting intestinal health in dogs using fibre has aroused interest in using fibrous ingredients that do not decrease the digestibility of complete food (Kawauchi et al 2011).…”

“…Different fibre sources have been tested, as corn gluten with 21% of crude protein (Kawauchi et al 2011), beet pulp, tomato pomace, peanut hulls, wheat bran, alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw (Fahey et al 1990a), alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated oat hulls (Fahey et al 1992), SolkaFlocV R (a product based on carefully processed, highly purified cellulose; International Fiber Corporation, North Tonawanda, NY), citrus pulp and three blends, including SolkaFloc V R and gum arabic, citrus pectin, gum talha, carob bean gum, locust bean gum, beet pulp, citrus pectin and guar gum (Sunvold et al 1995). The differences in the solubility and fermentability of these fibres can provide different physiological benefits and affect faecal characteristics (de-Oliveira et al 2008;Calabr o et al 2012).…”

“…The differences in the solubility and fermentability of these fibres can provide different physiological benefits and affect faecal characteristics (de-Oliveira et al 2008;Calabr o et al 2012). Several outcomes were evaluated to determine the physicochemical characteristics of faeces, such as faecal production (Kawauchi et al 2011), faecal score (Laflamme et al 2011), pH (de-Oliveira et al 2008, buffering capacity (BC) (Zeyner et al 2004) and ammonia nitrogen (Brito et al 2010).…”

Twenty-four adult Beagles were utilised to evaluate the partial replacement of wheat bran with corn gluten feed without steep water on digestibility and characteristics of faeces. The treatments were 0 (no substitution), 30, 60 or 90 g/kg of corn gluten without steep water. There was no effect (p > .05) on the digestibility coefficients (g/kg) of dry matter (0.771), organic matter (0.806), crude protein (0.813), ether extract (0.798), crude fibre (0.393), neutral detergent fibre (0.425), acid detergent fibre (0.286) and crude energy (0.812), whilst there was effect (p < .05) on the digestible and metabolisable energy. There were effects (p < .05) for dry matter and pH of faeces but no effect (p > .05) was found on the remaining faecal characteristics: excretion for 100 g of food (56.77 g), excretion (129.6 g/day and 49.0 g dry matter/day), score (3.90), dry matter excretion for 100 g of food (22.86 g), buffering capacity (BC) at pH 5 (57.81), ammonia nitrogen (1.46 g/kg of faecal dry matter) and water balance (333.25 mL/day), in vivo and in situ gas production (p > .05). Corn gluten feed without steep water can be utilised to replace up to 90 g/kg of wheat bran without causing negative effect on the digestibility and characteristics of faeces. ARTICLE HISTORY
