Resistant starch as related to companion animal nutrition.

摘要: Companion animal diets may contain up to 50% starch, derived from cereal grains. The amount of resistant starch (RS) in an ingredient depends on the origin and form processing conditions which has been exposed. Extrusion proven be a means optimizing utilization by companion animals. Although RS fraction typically decreases extrusion, retrogradation can result increased concentrations this fraction. Limited research exists regarding effects nutrition gastrointestinal health. Existing vitro vivo indicates that certain sources are readily fermented large bowel, producing short-chain fatty acids, whereas others less fermentable, resulting excellent laxation properties. Feeding dogs diet high increase fecal bulk due excretion microbial matter those cases where is highly or indigestibility source other cases. role play as potential proxy for dietary fiber, especially animals fed protein fat devoid traditional fiber.
