“…Findings in the study offer a basis for the improved exercise performance following chronic probiotic consumption in mice [20], thus providing evidence that Yoba ® once consumed at higher concentrations (above 60,000 CFUs) would lead to increased neuromuscular activation in mammals. In addition, findings in this study justify the therapeutical consumption of probiotics to manage constipation in humans [1, 2, 33] through a modification of gastrointestinal ecology [4, 5, 8, 9]. The study also showed that high Yoba ® consumption in Drosophila melanogaster led to significantly decreased hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity (Fig.…”

“…Probiotics are micro-organism commonly consumed by both humans and animals [1, 2]. This is important since probiotics have established benefits such as up-regulation of immune-modulatory genes [3], modification of gastrointestinal ecology [4, 5], weight loss in obesity [6, 7], reduction of gastrointestinal pH, reduction of pathogenic bacteria and modification of host immune system [8, 9].…”

Objective The purpose of the study was to generate information on the safety of probiotics, thus the study objectives were to evaluate the effects of Yoba ® on basic physiochemical properties. The study assessed male w 1118 Drosophila melanogaster which were provided food supplemented with Yoba ® at 1%, 3%, 6%, and 12% on motor function, total protein, catalase activity, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity and lifespan. Results Yoba ® at high concentration (≥ 6%) increased locomotor activity in Drosophila melanogaster , however, total protein, catalase, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity were significantly higher at 1% Yoba ® compared to 3%, 6%, and 12% Yoba ® . Yoba consumed at 1% was associated with greater physiological benefits in Drosophila melanogaster . Findings in the study offer a rationale for the consumption of Yoba ® at 1% in humans as is currently being promoted by the Yoba for Life consortium, however, high concentrations of Yoba ® would disrupt physiological function as shown by this study.

“…Probiotics have been defined as live microorganisms, which when consumed in adequate amounts as part of a food, may confer a health benefit on the host (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization, 2002). Many of the probiotics studied in pet health belong to the genera of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus (Weese and Martin, 2011;Schmitz and Suchodolski, 2016;Jugan et al, 2017;Sanders et al, 2019). Probiotics can alter the resident microbiome through several mechanisms, including stimulation of the growth of resident bacteria through metabolic interactions, altering the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, or indirectly through interactions with the host epithelium and epithelial immune system (Derrien and van Hylckama Vlieg, 2015), but successful colonization of the resident microbiome by the probiotic is not universal and depends on characteristics of both the resident microbiome and the host (Derrien and van Hylckama Vlieg, 2015;Zmora et al, 2018) including the host's dietary regimen (Derrien and van Hylckama Vlieg, 2015).…”

The Effects of Nutrition on the Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Cats and Dogs: Impact on Health and Disease

et al. 2020

The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome of cats and dogs is increasingly recognized as a metabolically active organ inextricably linked to pet health. Food serves as a substrate for the GI microbiome of cats and dogs and plays a significant role in defining the composition and metabolism of the GI microbiome. The microbiome, in turn, facilitates the host's nutrient digestion and the production of postbiotics, which are bacterially derived compounds that can influence pet health. Consequently, pet owners have a role in shaping the microbiome of cats and dogs through the food they choose to provide. Yet, a clear understanding of the impact these food choices have on the microbiome, and thus on the overall health of the pet, is lacking. Pet foods are formulated to contain the typical nutritional building blocks of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, but increasingly include microbiome-targeted ingredients, such as prebiotics and probiotics. Each of these categories, as well as their relative proportions in food, can affect the composition and/or function of the microbiome. Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary components may impact not only GI disease, but also allergies, oral health, weight management, diabetes, and kidney disease through changes in the GI microbiome. Until recently, the focus of microbiome research was to characterize alterations in microbiome composition in disease states, while less research effort has been devoted to understanding how changes in nutrition can influence pet health by modifying the microbiome function. This review summarizes the impact of pet food nutritional components on the composition and function of the microbiome and examines evidence for the role of nutrition in impacting host health through the microbiome in a variety of disease states. Understanding how nutrition can modulate GI microbiome composition and function may reveal new avenues for enhancing the health and resilience of cats and dogs.

“…SPARKES et al, 1998;BARRY et al, 2010;SANTOS, 2015). O aumento de Lactobacillus é desejável, uma vez que este grupo bacteriano possui capacidade probiótica, com possível melhora na saúde do hospedeiro (JUGAN et al, 2017). O consumo da PCL pode favorecer a multiplicação de bactérias láticas, como os…”

“…Na mesma linha, o aumento de Proteobacteria foi encontrado em indivíduos com disbiose ou doentes (KAAKOUSH et al, 2012;SUCHODOLSKI et al, 2012a;KUMP et al, 2013 (WEESE et al, 2015). O fato dos animais FIV + apresentarem maior abundância de Lactobacillus e Bifidobacterium foi surpreendente, pois são gêneros desejáveis, podendo desempenhar papel positivo em animais com doença do trato gastrintestinal, especialmente em casos de diarreia induzida pelo estresse e principalmente por reduzir o tempo para a melhora clínica em comparação à terapias tradicionais (JUGAN et al, 2017).…”
