Abstract: RESUMO -Objetivou-se com este trabalho determinar a interferência dos aditivos extrato de Yucca schidigera e zeólitas (Clinoptilolita) na palatabilidade e digestibilidade de rações comerciais e avaliar sua capacidade de redução do odor das fezes e melhora da consistência fecal de cães. Utilizaram-se cães adultos da raça Beagle com peso médio de ±12,51 kg em três experimentos, todos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. No teste de palatabilidade, realizado nos dez dias iniciais, utilizaram-se 16 animais di… Show more

“…However, this is not the only thing that owners have been worrying about. The closeness of animals to their owners has caused discomfort related to feces odor (Maia et al, 2010). The reduction in the odor can be achieved through the use of raw materials with high digestibility.…”

“…A inclusão de 3% de zeólitas na dieta de frangos de corte criados até 40 dias de idade provocou redução da umidade fecal de 79,14 para 73,01%, em comparação com as aves que receberam dieta sem zeólitas (Safaei katouli et al, 2010). A inclusão de 0,5; 0,75 e 1,0% de zeólitas na dieta de cães adultos indicou que doses acima de 0,75% proporcionaram maior teor de matéria seca e melhor classificação do escore fecal, sendo o resultado atribuído à capacidade higroscópica das zeólitas (Maia et al, 2010). Miles e Henry (2007) citam que a umidade das excretas diminui linearmente de acordo com o aumento de aluminossilicato na dieta, o que é coerente e corrobora os resultados dos trabalhos supracitados.…”

“…A correction factor was added to the ME determination equation to estimate energy loss from urine according to NRC (2006). Faecal score evaluation used an adapted classification described by MAIA et al (2010), where scores varied from 1 to 5, in which 1 = liquid faeces which could not be collected (diarrhoea); 2 = soft malformed faeces, with a consistency unsuitable for collection; 3 = soft faeces, formed and wet, but maintaining a collectable consistency; 4 = well-formed faeces, with adequate form and firm consistency, leaving no mark on the floor when collected; and 5 = hard small dry faeces. After faecal score evaluation, faeces were collected and weighed daily to quantify the volume of faeces in natural and dry matter.…”
