25
Water
The most important nutrient
26
Water quality
If animal not eating/ doing well, check their water, lack of water will cause death
27
Cooling process for cats and dogs
Cats concentrate urine more than dogs Both sweat thru their paws Both pant Cats lick bodies to cool themselves
28
Who does better with lack of water
Cat because of concentrated urine
29
Who does better with lack of food
Dog because cats will go into hepatic lipidosis
30
Animal protein
Acidic urine
31
Plant protein
Alkaline urine
32
Cats are obligated carnivores
With plant protein gets them in an insufficient ph and get FIC and cat develops stones
33
Starch
Broken down through salivary amylase, digestion through enzymes
34
Cellulose
Need microbes, fermentation through microbes
35
Zinc responsive dermatitis
Animal protein has zinc plant protein does not
36
Guinea pigs cant synthesize what vitamin?
Vitamin C
37
Two forms of vitamin D
D2 = plant form D3 = animal form
38
Vitamin D function:
Absorb and deposit calcium
39
Vitmains
Limit shelf life of food
40
Unsaturated fats
Breaks down and goes rancid Double bonds, liquid at room temp
41
Saturated fat
Animal protein, solid at room temp
42
Computer formulation
Least cost ration balancing
43
Anthropormorphism
Human traits to animals
44
By products
Have become demonized, agriculture by-products are a bug feed source for pets
45
Beef dog food
70 % protein
46
Beef dinner feast, entree, supper, stew
10%
47
Dog food with beef
3%
48
Beef flavored
Just enough so dog can taste it
49
First look at the list of ingredients
Is on as fed basis
50
AAFCO Sanctioned
That is nutritionally balanced
51
All proteins are not created equal
Egg and milk have all essential
52
Animal vs. plant sources
Egg - chicken - poultry meal - meat meal - meat & bone meal - poultry byproducts - soybean/ corn gluten meal
53
2 or 3 plant proteins
Then it meets requirments, 1 animal protein will do the same.
54
Calcium in pet food
Most are deficient because limestone tastes bad
55
New protein sources
Crickets, meal worms, black soldier fly larvae meal for adult dogs
56
Dilative cardiomyopathy
Taurine Deficiency - many dogs have developed this due grain free (legume deficiency) so supplement taurine
57
What nutrient does grain provide to a diet
Starch, carbohydrates
58
Raw diets
Biosecurity risk, alot of animals are compromised, avma concern about HACCP, handling foods. All poultry has salmonella
59
BARF
Bones and Raw Food or BIologically appropriate raw food
60
Pros of raw diet
Shinier coat, healthier skin, more digestible, higher energy levels
61
Cons of raw diets
Not often balanced, food borne pathogens, dangerous to young, geriatric humans/ animals, whole bone choking, very expensive
62
Skin microbiome and fresh diet
Microbiome diversity was higher after dogs were fed fresh diet compared to after kibble.
63
Greater microbiome diversity
Better immune, better health, enviroment plays a role
64
Grains to obligate carnivores
Alkaline urine, so add acidifiers to prevent FIC
65
Corn gluten meal acidifier
Sulfur
66
Homemade diets / fresh pets
Many are defeicient, many get recalled, add kibble/ nutrient supplement
67
How to select pet food
In first two ingredients. Make sure it is a meat meal. And mic products is best approach to avoid GI problems
68
Digest - flavor enhancing
Animal digest refers to a animal protein that has been digested using enzymes, spray it on kibble to make it taste like meat. May be eating corn but it tastes like meat.
69
Supplements
So not need if feeding a balanced kibble
70
Cats need protein for:
Energy and gluconeogensis, if they dont get those amino acids they will metabolize their own tissues
71
Kittens should not get acidifiers why?
Doesnt close cavities,
72
Little friskies - corn
Obese, diabeties, metabolic disorder increase, cats need animal protein
73
Cat list unique nutrient
Needs vitamin A and D because they cannot convert it Arachidonic acid B vitamins TAURINE plus PVT TIM HALL - why urine smells so bad (sulfur in taurine)
74
Algae
Plant based diet for cat
75
Gold fish
Have thiaminase
76
Invertbrates and calcium
Do not have enough calcium, so have an inverse Ca:P
77
reptiles and enviroment
Reptiles are able to metabolize due to their enviroment.
78
Adult frogs
Carnivores
79
Juvenile frogs
Herbivores
80
Dogs are:
Omnivores, faculatative carnivores
81
Parrot
Digestive omnivore like chickens
82
Coprophagy
Eating cectrophes or night feces to help them digest and absorb cellulose, vit k, vit b
83
Rabbit elizabeth collar
Will die because they cannot practice coprophagy
84
Rabbits with calcium and vit D
Animals can absorb calcium without vit d. They cannot absorb it all so they get stones
85
At maitnenance rabbits are fed
Grass-based pellets
86
Teeth car
Need something to chew on to shorten teeth
87
Clean produce
Alleviate bacteria, herbicides, insecticides
88
Birds and reptiles
Require vit d and excrete uric acid. Need to have vit d3 they cannot use d2 (plant form ) q
89
Blocking B ultraviolet light
Blocks vitamin d3
90
Seeds and nuts have fat and produce the hormone:
Galanin- which makes fat addictive, natural endorphin
