“…This result indicates that DDGS was not deleterious to the intestinal mucosa. A similar result was observed by Sabchuk et al (2017), who assessed different fiber levels in diets for dogs and observed no changes in the content of sialic acid in feces of animals.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of including 200 g kg −1 dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) to xylanase-and protease-supplemented diets for dogs on kibble properties, digestibility, fecal characteristics, and palatability. Experimental diets consisted of: 0 g kg −1 DDGS without enzymes (0WE), 0 g kg −1 DDGS with xylanase and protease (0XP), 200 g kg −1 DDGS without enzymes (200WE), 200 g kg −1 DDGS with xylanase (200X), 200 g kg −1 DDGS with protease (200P), and 200 g kg −1 DDGS with xylanase and protease (200XP). Kibbles were evaluated for density, extruded size, expansion index, hardness, and uniformity. Six beagle dogs were distributed in a 6×6 Latin square design for analysis of digestibility and fecal characteristics. A palatability assay was also conducted in 16 beagle dogs, comparing the following treatment groups: 0WE vs. 200WE and 0XP vs. 200XP. The results showed that DDGS inclusion had no influence on kibble physical properties and reduced digestibility of dry matter (DM), ether extract after acid hydrolysis, gross energy, and organic matter, regardless of enzyme addition. Moreover, dietary addition of DDGS reduced fecal pH and increased total short-chain fatty acid, acetate, and propionate productions. Fecal odor was increased in dogs fed diets containing DDGS. Regarding palatability, animals preferred diets supplemented with enzymes and without DDGS, and no difference was observed when comparing 0WE and 200WE diets. No changes in the physical properties of kibbles were caused by DDGS inclusion; therefore, it can be used in diet formulation without interfering with the industrial process. Increased production of SCFA and a possible modulation of digestive tract microbiota promoted by DDGS addition may benefit animals. However, at the tested levels, enzymes had no positive effects on diet digestibility. Despite reducing digestibility, DDGS can still be included without enzyme supplementation in low-cost diets for dogs, as nutrient digestibility of the diet remains within acceptable limits for some pet food categories.

“…Fecal sialic acid content was measured in the present study as an indicator of changes in the intestinal mucosa that may be caused by dietary fiber. However, fecal sialic acid levels did not increase as a function of increasing the inclusion of dried apple pomace, as previously found by Sabchuk et al (2017) in a study on different fiber levels in dog foods. However, our result is different from that of Larsen et al (1993), who observed that fecal sialic acid levels increased with increasing fiber inclusion in rat diets.…”

“…by increasing the viscosity of the digesta, impairing the action of endogenous enzymes on nutrients (Godoy et al, 2013). In general, SF has a stronger negative effect on nutrient digestibility than IF, as demonstrated by Sabchuk et al (2017), who reported lower nutrient digestibility of dog foods containing higher SF than of those containing high IF levels.…”

“…The results of the present study are consistent with those of Fekete et al (2001), who observed a decrease in AHEE digestibility when dried apple pomace was added to cat food. Fiber intake may also reduce fat utilization, as soluble fibers create a viscous barrier, preventing the action of the digestive enzymes and reducing the resorption of bile and bile salts in the ileum (Sabchuk et al, 2017). Besides that, this fiber source has between 6.4 to 19.0% lignin (Sato et al, 2010), a compound with high affinity for binding bile acids, which may reduce bile acid reabsorption and fat absorption in cats (Loureiro et al, 2017;Donadelli and Aldrich et al, 2020).…”

“…According to Godoy et al (2013), fiber may dilute dietary energy density. Therefore, the inclusion of fiber-rich feedstuffs that considerably dilute the energy content of dog and cat foods may be particularly interesting for weight loss purposes (Sabchuk et al, 2017;Detweiler et al, 2019).…”
