“…The latter is done for various purposes such as modulating Ca/P ratio, as a buffer, for water-holding capacity, to modulate texture, for preservation, or as a palatability enhancer. This may lead to a P intake of about six times of the recommended allowance (Anonymous, 2008(Anonymous, , 2014Larsen, Parks, Heinze, & Fascetti, 2012). Pastoor et al (1995) and Dobenecker et al (2017) considered this to be a risk for renal health in cats.…”

Excess phosphorus (P) as seen in cat foods can have a negative effect on health (Dobenecker, Webel, Reese, & Kienzle, ; Pastoor, Klooster, Mathot, & Beynen, ). P surpluses may affect the environment, and economics in food producing animals, whereas marginal supply may impair performance and health. P can only be absorbed if it is soluble. Solubility of feed P in water and weak acid solution—as a precondition for absorption—was investigated in feed for dogs, cats, pigs and poultry. Different P containing mineral compounds (Ca(H2PO4)2, CaHPO4•2H2O, Ca4Na(PO4)3, KH2PO4, K4P2O7, NaH2PO4, Na5P3O10 (29 samples), as well as eight different ingredients such as wheat or meat, 64 compound feeds for pig and poultry, eight complete dry and 13 complete moist dog foods, 25 complete moist cat foods and 29 experimental diets were analysed for P solubility. Finely ground feeds were soaked in water or hydrochloric acid (0.4%) for 1 and 90 min. The samples were centrifuged and the supernatant was analysed for P (photometric vanadate molybdate method after wet ashing). The solubility of P from inorganic sources reflected the solubility of the main compound of the feed grade material. “organic” ingredients, such as fish meal or meat, showed a lower P solubility than inorganic sources. Most ingredients from animal origin (exception fish meal) had a higher P solubility than those from plant origin. When inorganic and “organic” P sources were mixed, the P solubility of the mixture reflected the P solubility and percentages of its compounds. In chicken, turkey and pig compound feed the percentage of acid soluble P increased with increasing P content. Pet moist food showed high percentages of water‐soluble P. The results show that the method is suitable to obtain data on water and acid solubility of P in feed and ingredients.

“…Laflamme et al (2008) observaram em estudo conduzido nos EUA e Austrália que pouco menos de um terço dos proprietários que empregavam dietas caseiras utilizavam dietas com formulação específica para seus animais. Sugere-se uma futura avaliação da frequência de proprietários que utilizam estas ferramentas como fonte de informação e fornecem aos animais sem prévia avaliação por profissionais da área, já que tais dietas podem conter importantes desbalanços nutricionais (Lauten et al 2005, Larsen et al 2012, Stockman et al 2013. Com relação à efetividade da dieta caseira em relação aos anseios dos proprietários, verificou-se que a maioria mostrou-se satisfeitos, seja pela busca por alimento "natural" ou na evolução clínica de animais com afecções.…”

“…Alguns estudos têm demonstrado o elevado número de receitas de dietas caseiras, não convencionais, disponibilizadas em livros e "websites" e sua adequação nutricional, bem como a adesão dos proprietários a este tipo de alimento (Lauten et al 2005, Laflamme et al 2008, Felix et al 2009, Jeremias et al 2009, Saad & França 2010, Larsen et al 2012, Stockman et al 2013, Oliveira et al 2014, Johnson et al 2016. O estudo realizado por Oliveira et al (2014) agregou informações de tutores de cães sobre a percepção no uso de dietas caseiras na cidade de Jaboticabal, interior do Estado de São Paulo, a qual é composta por aproximadamente 75 mil habitantes, semelhante ao presente trabalho.…”

RESUMO: O estudo objetivou avaliar a adesão e a percepção dos proprietários de cães, residentes na cidade de São Paulo/SP, quanto ao emprego de dieta caseira no manejo nutricional de seu animal de estimação. Foram entrevistados por contato telefônico 55 proprietários que forneciam dieta caseira no manejo nutricional do seu cão. O questionário contemplou perguntas relacionadas ao preparo e eficiência das dietas, bem como o manejo dos animais. Verificou-se que considerável número (parcela) de prescrições (45,9%) esteve associado a pacientes com hiporexia. Dentre os proprietários que relataram dificuldade no preparo (10,9%), o tempo dispendido (33,3%) foi a maior problemática. Quando questionados em relação às modificações nas fórmulas prescritas, 60% admitiram que a realizaram sem prévia recomendação. Na opinião dos entrevistados, a dieta caseira não causou alterações nas fezes (50%) e na pelagem (62,7%) dos animais em comparação ao emprego de um alimento comercial e foi considerada adequada pela maioria (79,0%). As dietas caseiras podem ser amplamente utilizadas, mostrando-se especialmente importantes em cães doentes e/ou hiporéticos por apresentarem maior aceite em relação à dieta comercial, no entanto, nem todos os tutores estão aptos a utilizá-la.

“…Up to now, only few studies have evaluated the Se status and metabolism in cats, however, such investigations are practically relevant, since high variations in dietary Se supply have been reported [23,24]. In general, the bioavailability of Se in canned and dry petfood has been demonstrated to be low [25-27], while the absorption of Se in the intestine is not only influenced by its dietary concentration, but also by its chemical form and its interaction with other diet-related factors like heavy metal concentrations or heating processes [28,29].…”

Liver and kidney concentrations of strontium, barium, cadmium, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, antimony, selenium and lead in cats

BackgroundIn order to provide new knowledge on the storage of strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se) and lead (Pb) in the feline organism, we measured the concentrations of these elements in the liver, renal cortex and renal medulla, evaluating also the impact of age, sex or the occurrence of a chronic kidney disease (CKD). The element concentrations in the tissues of 47 cats (22 male; 25 female; aged between 2 months and 18 years) were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.ResultsCu, Zn and Mn were the highest in the liver, followed by the renal cortex and the renal medulla. The Cd concentrations were lower in the renal medulla compared to the renal cortex and the liver, and Sr was higher in the renal medulla compared to the liver. The Se concentrations in the cortex of the kidneys were higher than in the medulla of the kidneys and in the liver. Higher Cd concentrations were measured in the renal cortex of female cats, while no further gender-related differences were observed. Except for Cr, Sb and Se, age-dependencies were detected for the storage of all elements. The occurrence of a CKD also affected the storage of the elements, with lower concentrations of Ba (renal medulla), Zn (renal cortex; renal medulla) and Mn (liver; renal medulla), but higher Cd concentrations (liver; renal cortex) in diseased cats.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the present results provide new information on the accumulation of specific elements in the feline liver and kidneys, demonstrating a dependency on age and an impaired kidney function, but not on the sex of the animals.

Evaluation of recipes for home-prepared diets for dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Many problems with nutritional adequacy were detected, and use of the recipes could result in highly variable and often inappropriate diets. Many recipes would not meet nutritional and clinical needs of individual patients and should be used cautiously for long-term feeding.
