“…Conversely, Middelbos et al (2007b) reported higher ileal digestibility of OM (79.4 vs 74.5%) and CP (72.4 vs 65.3%) in dogs fed spray-dried yeast cell wall at 6.5 g/kg of diet. In the study by Twomey et al (2003), total tract apparent digestibility of protein in dogs receiving FOS at 30 or 60 g/kg of diet was unaffected.…”

“…In a study by Twomey et al (2003), the administration of FOS at 30 or 60 g/kg of diet to dogs resulted in higher faecal lactate concentrations (85, 143 and 289 mmol/kg of faeces for control, FOS at 30 g/kg and FOS at 60 g/kg, respectively) and lower faecal pH (5.4, 5.3 and 5.0 for control, FOS at 30 g/kg and FOS at 60 g/kg, respectively).…”

“…Prebiotics are sometimes proposed in humans as mild laxatives despite the fact that a clear scientific evidence of this effect is still lacking (Cummings and Macfarlane, 2002). Twomey et al (2003) observed that administration of FOS at 30 or 60 g/kg of diet to dogs resulted in decreased faecal dry matter (DM; 327, 303 and 296 g/kg of faeces for control, FOS at 30 g/kg and FOS at 60 g/kg of diet, respectively). Conversely, several authors (Strickling et al, 2000;Swanson et al, 2002b; Beloshapka et al, 2012) did not observe any effect of prebiotic administration on canine faecal dry matter when prebiotics were administered at lower doses than those used by Twomey et al (2003).…”

As a whole, biological research has recently shifted its focus from reductionism to holistic approaches to study complex systems, a strategy often termed "systems biology". Nutritional research has progressed similarly, incorporating phenotype, genotype, genomics, and bioinformatics into an integrative molecular nutrition research model to study the impact of nutritional status on health and disease. Given the importance of livestock and companion animals as large animal models for humans, many of these genomes including that of the dog, cow, cat, and chicken have been sequenced or are being sequenced by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Ongoing projects to sequence the canine genome and create a SNP map, in addition to the phenotypic and genotypic similarities and unique breed structure of domestic dogs, continue to increase the experimental power of the dog model. While anatomical and physiological similarities have deemed the dog a useful model for gastrointestinal research for decades, economical and ethical concerns have recently decreased their use in this research field. This review aims to reiterate the importance of the dog model in gastrointestinal research, including the study of prebiotics and aging on intestinal health, analyzing gene expression profiles to better understand intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, and performing whole genome association studies to identify genetic loci contributing to complex intestinal diseases.

Wu et al. / J Zhejiang Univ SCI 2005 6B(8):798- Abstract:Effects of dietary supplementation with fructooligosaccharides on the excretion of nitrogen and phosphorus in Miichthys miiuy fries were investigated. Nine hundred Miichthys miiuy fries were divided into 3 groups, each with triplicates. The basal diet and the basal diet supplemented with carnitine groups were considered as the negative and positive controls respectively. Results showed that the nitrogen concentration in excreted feces decreased significantly in fries fed the diet supplementation with 1000×10 −6 fructooligosaccharides and 200×10 −6 carnitine (P<0.05). The ammonic-nitrogen concentration decreased significantly in the carnitine group only (P<0.05), indicating the decreasing tendency caused by the supplementation with fructooligosaccharides. Supplementation with both did not have significant effects on the concentration of phosphorus in feces of Miichthys miiuy fries.
