“…Vanadium has been demonstrated to have a hypoglycemic effect in dogs [13], and toxicity of Li [14], Ba [15], and Al [12] have been reported in dogs. On the other hand, the restriction of P intake has been recommended to prevent the appearance of kidney diseases [16,17,18], the reduction of Mg and P intake to diminish the probability to develop struvite uroliths [19], and the reduction of Ca and P intake to decrease the risk of calcium oxalate stones [20] and skeletal disorders [21]. To help owners in their buying decisions, it is mandatory for mineral content to be indicated on the label of companion animal food, depending on the ingredients used [22].…”

Simple SummaryMineral content in dog food is essential to ensure animals’ adequate development and health status, but its analysis is time-consuming and companies are not always equipped with the technology to perform it. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, objective, easy to manage, chemical-free, and non-destructive method that is already available in the food industry for the prediction of gross composition (e.g., moisture, protein, fat, etc.). However, this technological approach is not yet used for the prediction of minerals because there is scarce information regarding the feasibility of NIRS to predict minerals in pet food. Results of this study revealed that, among all minerals analyzed, adequate NIRS prediction models were obtained for S and K for extruded dry dog food. The development of prediction models for mineral content in dry dog food opens the possibility of on-line and at-line analyses of minerals in the products during the manufacturing process, which could help the manufacturing decision support system in the pet food industry.AbstractThe pet food industry is interested in performing fast analyses to control the nutritional quality of their products. This study assessed the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy to predict mineral content in extruded dry dog food. Mineral content in commercial dry dog food samples (n = 119) was quantified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and reflectance spectra (850–2500 nm) captured with FOSS NIRS DS2500 spectrometer. Calibration models were built using modified partial least square regression and leave-one-out cross-validation. The best prediction models were obtained for S (coefficient of determination; R2 = 0.89), K (R2 = 0.85), and Li (R2 = 0.74), followed by P, B, and Sr (R2 = 0.72 each). Only prediction models for S and K were adequate for screening purposes. This study supports that minerals are difficult to determine with NIRS if they are not associated with organic molecules.

“…Therefore, the addition of legumes to cereals in the formulated complementary diet in this study could be responsible for higher iron and zinc content. The body requires iron for proper production of red blood cells and also on regular zinc supply as obtained in the complementary diet formulated in this study may help in reducing the prevalence of stunting as linear growth was reported to be affected by zinc supply (FAO/WHO, 2001). The concentrations of calcium, potassium and phosphorus were however low.…”

“…The formulated diet was rich in iron, magnesium and zinc. According to (FAO/WHO, 2001) minerals such as iron and zinc are low in cereals but legumes are rich source of iron and zinc. Therefore, the addition of legumes to cereals in the formulated complementary diet in this study could be responsible for higher iron and zinc content.…”

In Northern Nigeria, malnutrition remains a major public health problem. This is because the predominant population of rural communities who are low income subsistence farmers cannot afford the commercial fortified infant's food. This research was design to formulate and assess the nutrient composition of a cost effective infant's diet from locally/readily available staple foodstuffs. This is aimed at improving the nutritional status of vulnerable infants and young Children in Northern Nigeria. Standard chemical methods were used to determine the nutrients and antinutrients of the formulated diet and the respective values compared to commonly used commercial complementary diet (as indicated by the manufacturer) in Nigerian market. The results showed that the crude protein of formulated diet was 16.29g/100g which is higher than 15g/100g for control (commercial weaning diet). The energy value of the formulated diet (416.7kcal/100g) is comparable to that of the commercial diet (410.0kcal/100g). The concentrations of zinc (31.0mg/100g) and iron (8.01mg/100g) in the formulated diet were significantly higher (p<0.05) than their corresponding values in the commercial diet. All the essential amino acids were present in the formulated diet. It can be concluded that proper selection and combination of local foodstuffs can provide a cheap and nutritionally rich weaning diet.
