“…Differences between manufacturer-reported maximum moisture concentrations and measured moisture concentrations in the present study were consistent with results of other studies, 26,40,41 as were differences between the reported maximum CF and measured TDF concentration. 26,28,40 In canned diets only, reported maximum CF concentration was not different than measured IDF concentration, suggesting this value could potentially be used to estimate IDF content in similar diets.…”

“…As has been described for diets formulated to manage obesity and diabetes mellitus in cats, 40 energy density of all diets formulated for dogs with diabetes mellitus, obesity, or dietary fat-responsive disease in the present study was negatively correlated with TDF concentration. Although this is not the only factor to affect energy density, it appears to have a role in the formulation of therapeutic diets for these indications, given that there were significant differences in composition and concentration of TDF among diet categories.…”

“…However, this was not supported by a previous study 26 for a sample of canine maintenance diets. Reported CF concentrations in excess of measured TDF and IDF concentrations in canned diets were previously determined in a study 40 evaluating fiber content and composition in feline diets for management of obesity and diabetes mellitus. The fact that the measured IDF concentration was greater than the reported maximum CF concentrations in dry diets but not canned diets in the present study appeared to be attributable to the reporting of maximums on an as-fed basis.…”

Diets provided a range of TDF concentrations and compositions; veterinarians should request TDF data from manufacturers, if not otherwise available. Consistent responses to dry and canned versions of the same diet cannot necessarily be expected, and diets with the same indications may not perform similarly. Many diets may not provide adequate fat restriction for treatment of dietary fat-responsive disease.

“…For each diet, the listed ingredients, caloric content (kcal/cup and kcal/kg), crude fiber as fed (%), crude fiber on a dry matter basis (%), moisture (%), total dietary fiber, insoluble fiber, and soluble fiber content when available were recorded [30, 31]. Actual caloric intake for each dog was recorded and compared to their calculated resting energy requirement (RER) and maintenance energy requirement (MER).…”

IntroductionGolden retrievers are over-represented in cases of taurine-deficient dilated cardiomyopathy and recently a surge in cases has prompted further investigation.ObjectiveTo describe the clinical, dietary, and echocardiographic features in golden retrievers diagnosed with taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy, and to determine specific dietary associations. A second aim was to determine the whole blood taurine concentrations in a representative sample of healthy golden retrievers.AnimalsTwenty-four client-owned golden retrievers with documented taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy and 52 healthy client-owned golden retrievers.MethodsIn this multicenter prospective observational study, baseline and follow-up echocardiographic data, complete diet and medical histories, and whole blood, plasma, or serum taurine concentrations were obtained. Baseline and follow-up echocardiographic data were compared. Associations were evaluated between specific diets and taurine deficiency or congestive heart failure. The prevalence of low whole blood taurine concentrations in the healthy golden retrievers was calculated.ResultsTwenty-three of 24 dogs diagnosed with taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy were fed diets that were either grain-free, legume-rich, or a combination of these factors. None of these diets were feeding trial tested using Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) procedures. Twenty-three of 24 dogs had significant improvement in their echocardiographic parameters and normalization of taurine concentrations following diet change and taurine supplementation. Nine of 11 dogs diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) had resolution of their congestion at follow-up with five no longer requiring diuretic therapy and four tolerating diuretic dose reduction by >50%.ConclusionsCertain diets and diet characteristics were associated with the development of taurine deficiency. Taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy in golden retrievers is likely multifactorial, including a combination of dietary, metabolic, and genetic factors.

“…As mentioned previously, dietary fiber in cat foods can have benefits for the animals ( Davenport et al, 2008 ; Roudebush, et al, 2008 ; Owens et al, 2014 ; Linder and Parker, 2016 ; Loureiro et al, 2017 ); however, it is known to impact extrusion processing. The impacts are well described for breakfast cereals and other snacks for humans ( Mendonça et al, 2000 ; Brennan et al, 2008 ; Karkle et al, 2012a , 2012b ; Kallu et al, 2017 ; Wang et al, 2017 ).…”

Cellulose and beet pulp have been commonly used in the pet food industry to increase dietary fiber content of cat foods. However, pet food companies seek alternatives to these so-called byproducts. Miscanthus grass is grown for its fiber content and may serve as an alternative to traditional fibrous ingredients. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of fiber sources on extrusion processing and kibble structure of cat foods. Three replicate batches of adult maintenance complete and balanced cat foods each containing 10% of Miscanthus grass, cellulose, or beet pulp was mixed and kibbles were produced on a single screw extruder. Feed rate, preconditioner water and steam, extruder screw speed, extruder water and steam addition, and knife speed were adjusted to achieve a wet bulk density of 330 g*L -1. After extrusion, kibbles were dried at 115.5ºC to less than 10% moisture. Dried kibbles were coated with chicken fat and flavor enhancer. No effects due to fiber source were reported for extrusion parameters or kibble measurements (P > 0.05) with the exception of compression energy; wherein, kibbles produced with cellulose required more energy to compress than those containing beet pulp (6917 N*mm vs. 3591 N*mm, respectively). In conclusion, tested fiber sources had no impact on extrusion parameters and most kibble characteristics. Kibbles containing cellulose required more energy to compress than kibbles containing beet pulp. Miscanthus grass could be used as an alternative to traditional fiber sources used to produce cat foods.
