“…This might be an indication that canned dog food contains histamine sources other than animal protein or fish; this issue clearly deserves further studies on the amine contents of the ingredients. Although alimentary histamine has been implicated in health disorders in companion animals [17][18][19], it is not easy to establish the toxicological limits; the European Pet Food Industry society [25] sets a 500 mg/kg limit, which is obviously oriented towards the food safety criterion for certain fish species in EU legislation (M = 400 mg/kg; [42]), which is in line with the aim that ingredients for pet food have to be food-grade quality (Austrian Pet Food Union, https://oehtv.at; accessed 10 September 2021). However, this limit was not exceeded in any of our samples.…”

“…Vasoactive amines (histamine, tyramine) can act on the cardiovascular system, although there are considerable variations in susceptibility [16]. However, "histamine intolerance" is not limited to humans, but is also reported in pet animal species [17][18][19]. Another issue is the content of polyamines (namely, spermidine and spermine, and its precursor, putrescine) and polycationic substances, which normally stabilize DNA and are abundant in metabolically active cells [20,21], as well as in tumour cells [22].…”

Biogenic amines accumulate in proteinaceous raw materials used for pet food production. In canned, sterilized food, amine levels of the ingredients are preserved and may both be indicative of hygiene deficiencies in the ingredients as well as for potential adverse effects to the animals feeding on it. We determined the contents of biogenic amines and polyamines (dansyl derivatives, high performance liquid chromatography) in a variety of canned food for dogs (n = 72) and cats (n = 114) on the Austrian market and compared the results with common quality indices. Contents of putrescine, cadaverine, and tyramine were below the limit of detection in >70% of samples (maximum values: 21.5, 98.4 and 32.5 mg/kg wet weight, respectively). Median contents of histamine, spermidine, and spermine were 14.5, 12.7, and 29.4 mg/kg, and maximum values were 61.6, 28.2, and 53.6 mg/kg wet weight, respectively. The sum of (putrescine + cadaverine + histamine + tyramine) was >50 mg/kg in 22.6% of samples. The biogenic amine index exceeded “1” in 26.7% of samples. Whilst cat food contained significantly higher amounts of tyramine, dog food contained significantly higher amounts of histamine and spermine. In canned cat food, the ingredient “fish” was identified as a statistically significant risk factor for a biogenic amine index > 1 (relative risk = 3.0 (95% confidence interval: 1.8–5.5)) and for (putrescine + cadaverine + histamine + tyramine) exceeding 50 mg/kg (relative risk = 2.4 (95% confidence interval: 1.2–4.6)), due to higher contents of cadaverine in food samples containing fish. While all samples met the limits suggested in pet food production, we could demonstrate that the inclusion of fish in the formulation bears a significant risk for higher cadaverine contents.

“…As rações comerciais geralmente são acrescidas de aditivos químicos os quais mantém as características desejáveis do alimento como cor, sabor, textura, estabilidade e resistência à deterioração (Honorato et al, 2013;Craig, 2021). Apesar do aporte legal da utilização de tais aditivos, muitos tutores e pesquisadores consideram que estes possam causar efeitos nocivos à saúde animal, embora há poucos estudos disponíveis para substanciar ou refutar essas suspeitas (Craig, 2019;Craig, 2021).…”

O relacionamento entre seres humanos e cães estreitaram-se principalmente nos últimos anos em consequência houve um aumento no setor pet food, disponibilizando uma grande variedade de produtos. Com a alta variedade de alimentos disponíveis no mercado, a escolha do tipo de dieta torna-se um processo complexo e confuso. O objetivo da presente revisão bibliográfica é expor as características das principais formas de alimentação para cães bem como suas vantagens e desvantagens. A maioria dos tutores alimentam seus cães com rações comerciais, pela facilidade de compra e armazenamento. Porém, no processo de fabricação destes alimentos, nem sempre as informações contidas no rótulo condizem com os valores nutricionais do produto e existe inclusão de diversos aditivos químicos. Com a crescente popularidade da alimentação não convencional, as dietas naturais e caseiras oferecem outras possibilidades de escolha dos ingredientes, maior palatabilidade e digestibilidade da dieta, porém, devem ser formuladas adequadamente por profissionais evitando assim carências ou excessos de nutrientes.

“…New approaches to bacterial identification in veterinary medicine have shown that the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in dogs and cats, like humans, are a very complex ecosystem that controls immune responses and the development of allergic and inflammatory diseases [22,[40][41][42][43][44][45]. However, at the moment, in the available literature, there is no information on diagnostic approaches for intestinal dysbiosis of varying severity in cats.…”

Fecal Microbiota Analysis in Cats with Intestinal Dysbiosis of Varying Severity

et al. 2022

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiota plays an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases in various animal species. There are only limited data on the microbiome in cats with varying grades of dysbiosis. The purpose of the study was a detailed analysis of the quantitative and qualitative fecal microbiota spectrum in cats with intestinal dysbiosis of varying severity. The data obtained indicate that, depending on the dysbiosis severity in cats, the intestinal microbiome landscape changes significantly. It has been established that, depending on the dysbiosis severity, there is a shift in the balance between the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pools and in the nature of the isolation of specific bacteria forms, in the amount of obligate microbiota isolation, as well as individual facultative strains. When analyzing the serotyping of E. coli cultures isolated at various grades of intestinal dysbiosis severity, differences were found both in the isolation amount of various serotypes from one animal and in the prevalence of certain serotypes for each disease severity. A retrospective analysis of the fecal microbiota sensitivity in cats with dysbiosis to antibacterial drugs showed that, depending on the disease severity, the number of isolates sensitive to antibiotics increases significantly.
