Abstract:The objective of this study was to determine whether: (1) lysozyme supplementation would influence coat quality in dog and (2) coat quality improvement would be related with haematological parameters, fur composition and faecal quality. Eight dogs were divided into two groups and fed a diet supplemented with 0.2% lysozyme. Blood samples were analysed for haematological and haematochemical parameters. Coat quality was assessed using near infrared spectrometry (NIRS) and through a three-point scoring system. Fur… Show more
