This study discusses the seminal attributes, serum testosterone levels and serum antioxidants and mineral profile in six infertile male dogs and the effect of dietary supplementing certain minerals and vitamins for 90 days on their subsequent fertility conducted in small animal OPD, Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Veterinary College, Hebbal, Bengaluru. Serum and semen samples were evaluated for ejaculate volume, pH, individual sperm motility, percentage of live sperm, sperm cell concentration (million/mL) and sperm abnormalities. Results revealed that significant improvement (p<0.005) in serum zinc concentration was noticed on day 90 while other minerals were within the normal physiological range post supplementation. Antioxidant, glutathione peroxidase concentration significantly increased by day 90 of supplementation, while the levels remained unaltered for superoxide dismutase and catalase. Significant improvement (p<0.005) in seminal attributes viz. sperm concentration, sperm motility sperm viability and plasma membrane integrity noticed on day 90 whereas, reduction in sperm abnormality on day 60 and day 90 which corresponds to the normal physiological length of total duration of spermatogenesis in dogs. Serum testosterone concentration did not improve significantly after 90 days of supplementation. In conclusion, supplementation with minerals and vitamins for 60 days and beyond can improve the quality of semen in dogs with lowered fertility.

There is growing interest in the potential health benefits of probiotics for both humans and animals. The study aimed to investigate the effects of feeding the canine-derived probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici GLP06 to adult beagles by analysing the microbiome and metabolome. Twenty-four healthy adult beagles were randomly assigned to four groups. The CK group received a standard diet, while the three probiotic groups, the LG group (2 × 108 CFU/day/dog), MG group (2 × 109 CFU/day/dog), and HG group (2 × 1010 CFU/day/dog), received the standard diet supplemented with varying amounts of probiotics. The results show that, compared to the CK group, total antioxidant capacity was significantly increased in the MG and HG groups (p < 0.05), and superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly increased in the HG group (p < 0.05). Compared to the CK group, malondialdehyde and blood urea nitrogen content were significantly decreased in the MG and HG groups (p < 0.05). Additionally, secretory immunoglobulin A activity was significantly increased in the HG group compared to the CK and LG groups (p < 0.05), and immunoglobulin G activity was significantly increased in the HG group compared to the CK, LG, and MG groups (p < 0.05). In addition, compared with the CK group, the abundance of Faecalitalea and Collinsella increased in the LG group, and the relative abundance of Tyzzerella and Parasutterella increased in the MG group. The α diversity and the relative abundances of beneficial bacteria (Faecalibacterium, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A1316, and Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005) were higher in the HG group than in the CK group. Furthermore, acetic acid content was significantly increased in the HG group compared to the CK, LG, and MG groups (p < 0.05). Butyric acid, isobutyric acid, and the total SCFA content were significantly increased in the HG group compared to the CK group (p < 0.05). Moreover, metabolome analysis revealed 111 upregulated and 171 downregulated metabolites in the HG group. In conclusion, this study presents evidence that supplementing with P. acidilactici GLP06 can have a positive impact on antioxidant activity, immunoproteins, SCFAs, and gut microbiota in adult beagles. These findings highlight the potential of probiotics as a dietary intervention to enhance gut health and overall wellbeing in companion animals.
