“…Likewise, no changes were observed in dogs' faecal pH, in agreement with what has been reported by Swanson et al [1], Félix et al [6], and Stercova et al [19]. On the other hand, Feliciano et al [5] observed a reduction in faecal pH of dogs fed a diet containing Lactobacillus spp. The absence of faecal pH alterations of dogs fed with Bacillus spp.…”

Background: Direct-fed microbials (DFM), such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis, may improve gut functionality of the host by favouring non-pathogenic bacteria and reducing the formation of putrefactive compounds. The aim of this study was to assess the nutrient digestibility, faecal characteristics and intestinalfermentation products in dogs fed diets with Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. Sixteen dogs were randomly divided into two groups. Every eight dogs were fed with the control diet or the diet with the addition of 62.5 g of DFM (B. subtilis and B. licheniformis)/ton. Diets were provided throughout a 20-day adaptation period, followed by 5 days of total faecal collection. Nutrient digestibility and the metabolisable energy of the diets, plus the dogs' faecal characteristics and intestinal fermentation products were assessed. Results: There were no differences in nutrient digestibility (P > 0.05). However, DFM supplementation improved faecal score and resulted in less fetid faeces (P < 0.001). DFM inclusion reduced (P < 0.05) the biogenic amines concentration: putrescine, spermidine and cadaverine, besides the concentration of phenols and quinoline. Conclusions: The use of B. subtillis and B. licheniformis as DFM reduce the concentration of nitrogen fermentation products in faeces and faecal odour, but the digestibility of nutrients is not altered in dogs.

“…Segundo Saad et al (2011) (Biourge et al, 1998). Estudos realizados por Feliciano et al (2009) demonstraram que a adição de probióticos na alimentação de cães não alterou a digestibilidade do alimento. O escore fecal foi alterado positivamente somente quando a alimentação dos cães foi substituída de Standard para Super Premium.…”

RESUMO.Os aditivos nas rações de cães e gatos passaram a ter grande importância no mercado de pet foods. Isto devido ao papel que os animais de estimação passaram a ocupar nos últimos anos, aproximando-se cada vez mais das pessoas e tornando-se dependentes dos seres humanos. O objetivo do estudo bibliográfico tem por finalidade destacar a importância dos aditivos, principalmente nas rações secas extrusadas, tratando das particularidades de ambas as espécies. Os aditivos tem a função de atender as exigências nutricionais que as matérias primas empregadas na fabricação das rações não fornecem. Além disso, existem aditivos que são capazes de gerar benefícios, tais como: aprimorar a digestibilidade; melhorar a qualidade das fezes e da microbiota intestinal; amenizar quadros clínicos que os animais podem sofrer, como problemas dermatológicos, intestinais e das articulações. Quando adicionados a alimentação de cães e gatos promovem benefícios ao animal a curto e longo prazo, aprimorando a saúde do pet.Palavras chave: Pet food, rações extrusadas, nutrição, saúde, animais pet. Importance of additives in feeding dogs and cats: ReviewABSTRACT. Additives in pet feed started to have big importance in the market. This due to the part of the pets passed to have in the last years, approaching more and more of the people e becoming dependents of human beings. The main of this study have the purpose to show the importance of the additives, principally in the extruded feed, addressing the particularities of both species. They function is to attempt the nutritional requirements that the feedstock used in the fabrication of pet feed don't supply. Furthermore, there are additives that are able to generate benefits, like: improving the digestibility; the faeces quality and the intestinal microbiota; ease medical conditions that animals can suffer, as skin, intestinal and articulations problems. They can provide benefits to animals in a short or a long time, improving health to pet when they are add in their feed.

The aim of this study was to assess the nutrients digestibility, faecal characteristics and products of intestinal fermentation in dogs fed diets with Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. Sixteen adult beagle dogs randomly distributed were used. Every eight dogs were fed with the control diet or the diet to which 62.5 g DFM (B. subtilis and B. licheniformis)/ton were added. Diets were provided during a twenty days adaptation period, followed by five days of total faecal collection. Nutrients digestibility and metabolizable energy of the diets, and faecal characteristics and products of dogs’ intestinal fermentation were assessed. Results: There were no differences in nutrients digestibility (P >0.05). The DFM supplementation, however, improved the faecal score and resulted in less fetid faeces (P <0.001). The DFM inclusion reduced (P <0.05) the biogenic amines concentration: putrescine, spermidine and cadaverine, and the concentration of phenols and quinoline. Conclusions: The use of B. subtillis and B. licheniformis as DFM reduce the concentration of nitrogen fermentation products in the faeces and faecal odor, but the digestibility of nutrients is not altered in dogs.
