“…As in cats, the major SCFA in dogs are butyrate, acetate, and propionate (Swanson et al 2002). A butyrate-producer bacterium that has attracted much attention for its role in intestinal health of humans is Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Sokol et al 2009).…”

RESUMENEl tracto gastrointestinal (GI) de animales contiene diferentes tipos de microorganismos conocido como la microbiota GI. Por mucho tiempo, la microbiota GI ha generado interés porque los microorganismos GI están involucrados en múltiples procesos fisiológicos en el hospedero, así perpetuando salud o enfermedad. Estudios recientes han demostrado que la microbiota GI de gatos y perros es tan compleja como en humanos y otros animales, revelado con el uso de tecnologías de secuencia modernas y otras técnicas moleculares. La microbiota GI incluye miembros de todos los tres dominios principales de vida (Archaea, Bacterias y Eucariotas), pero las bacterias son el grupo de microorganismos más abundante y metabólicamente activo. El estómago de gatos y perros esta principalmente poblado de Helicobacter spp., el cual en perros puede representar tanto como el 98% de toda la microbiota bacteriana en el estómago. El intestino delgado contiene una microbiota más diversa, conteniendo representantes de al menos cinco diferentes filos bacterianos (principalmente Firmicutes y Bacteroidetes). El intestino grueso contiene el grupo de bacterias más abundante (~10 11 células bacterianas por gramo de contenido intestinal), diverso (al menos diez diferentes filos han sido detectados) y metabólicamente relevante en el tracto GI. La mayoría de las bacterias en el intestino grueso son anaerobios estrictos, los cuales dependen de la fermentación de sustancias no digeridas para subsistir. Aunque estudios recientes han dilucidado las complejidades de la microbiota GI en gatos y perros, más investigación todavía es necesaria para encontrar maneras de manipular exitosamente los microorganismos GI para prevenir y/o tratar enfermedades GI.Palabras clave: gastrointestinal, microbiota, gatos, perros. SUMMARYThe gastrointestinal (GI) tract of animals contains different types of microorganisms known as the GI microbiota. The GI microbiota has long been of interest because of its involvement in multiple physiological processes in the host, influencing health or disease. Recent studies have shown that the GI microbiota of cats and dogs is as complex as the one present in humans and other animals, according to state-of-the-art sequencing technologies and other molecular techniques. The GI microbiota includes members of all three main life domains (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes), with bacteria being the most abundant and metabolically active group of microorganisms. The stomach of cats and dogs is mainly inhabited by Helicobacter spp., which in dogs may account for as much as 98% of all gastric bacterial microbiota. The small intestine harbors a more diverse microbiota as it contains representatives from at least five bacterial phyla (mainly Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes). The large intestine harbors the most abundant (~10 11 bacterial cells per gram of intestinal content), diverse (at least 10 bacterial phyla have been identified) and physiologically relevant group of bacteria in the GI tract. Most bacteria in the large intestine are strict an...

“…SENSI and ADULT are supplemented with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS, 0.5% of the formula). FOS is soluble fibres that act as prebiotics and influence positively the composition of the intestinal microbiota [28]. In addition, bacterial fermentation of such fibres increases the concentration of short chain fatty acids, mainly butyrate, which have a trophic role and increase colonocyte growth and proliferation, favouring nutrient absorption [29,30].…”

“…In addition, bacterial fermentation of such fibres increases the concentration of short chain fatty acids, mainly butyrate, which have a trophic role and increase colonocyte growth and proliferation, favouring nutrient absorption [29,30]. FOS also help in reduction of the production of odorous components such as ammonia, phenol, indole, biogenic amines, coming from the putrefaction of proteins by bacteria other than the commensal flora, and as a consequence help reduce faecal odour and flatulence [28,30]. SENSI and ADULT are also supplemented with Psyllium fibre (0.5% of the formula …”

“…Há várias causas fisiológicas e patológicas de aumento na produção de gás pelo intestino grosso, no entanto, em relação às causas relacionadas com o uso de probióticos, de acordo com Swanson et al (2002), a suplementação com probióticos pode aumentar a quantidade de substrato para as bactérias redutoras de enxofre, aumentando as concentrações de compostos sulfúricos nas fezes. Como consequência desse processo, há aumento da quantidade de gás no intestino grosso.…”

RESUMOAvaliaram-se os efeitos da suplementação de dois tipos de probióticos para cães filhotes da raça Beagle, que receberam dois tipos de dieta de alta e baixa qualidade, sobre os achados em exames de diagnóstico por imagem. Foram utilizados 18 cães filhotes da raça Beagle, distribuídos em três tratamentos inteiramente ao acaso: tratamento 1, controle (ração); tratamento 2, ração com probiótico 1 (Bifidobacterium); e tratamento 3, ração com probiótico 2 (Lactobacillus). O experimento foi dividido em duas fases, cada uma caracterizada pela mudança da dieta de qualidades diferentes. Ao exame ultrassonográfico, foi avaliada a espessura da parede gastrintestinal, e ao radiográfico, a presença de gás em alças intestinais e o espessamento da parede. Observou-se aumento da espessura da parede das alças intestinais (P<0,05), nos animais dos grupos tratados com probiótico 1 e 2 (5,74mm e 6,01mm, respectivamente) em relação aos do grupo-controle (5,03mm). O uso de probióticos não influenciou a produção de gás intestinal. Não houve diferença (P>0,05) entre os tratamentos quanto ao escore de gás intestinal. A avaliação quantitativa permitiu a determinação de um escore de gás intestinal, de forma não invasiva, por meio do software Image J ® . Concluiu-se que o diagnóstico por imagem sustenta a recomendação dessa metodologia como ferramenta auxiliar na avaliação nutricional de dietas para cães.Palavras-chave: cão, ultrassonografia, radiografia, probióticos (P <0.05) in animals treated with probiotic, groups 1 and 2, ((5,74mm and 6,01mm, respectively) ABSTRACT The effects of supplementation with types of probiotics for beagle puppies that received high and low quality diets on the findings of imaging techniques were evaluaded. Eighteen animals were distributed in three randomized treatments: 1, control (diet), 2, diet with a probiotic (Bifidobacterium), and 3, diet with another probiotic (Lactobacillus). The experiment was divided into two phases each characterized by a change of diet. By ultrasonography, the thickness of the gastrointestinal wall was evaluated as well the presence of gas in the bowel and thickening of the wall by radiography. There was an increase in the thickness of the intestinal wall
