“…The protocols employed for supplementation with collagen peptides and vitamin C (PolyPet) in this study were e cient in determining the changes generated in the urine of canines with a standardized diet and consistent environmental management [19]. The distribution of this research was similar to other studies, such as those conducted by Santos et al, recording data such as breed, sex, age [20], and body weight of each animal [21]. Pathological processes or induced changes (sexual alteration, neutering, or ovariohysterectomy) that could affect the results were ruled out through comprehensive medical examination.…”

“…The present study recommends that future researchers extend the duration of supplementation and measurement of creatinuria or advise clinical veterinarians who have patients supplemented with nutraceuticals to keep a close watch on the chemical levels in urine. Since canines are carnivores and receive protein supply along with ascorbic acid supplementation [20], this could lead to an increase in creatinuria due to normal metabolism, muscle wear and tear, or repair, eventually leading to a slow presentation of acute or chronic renal failure in individuals. This makes frequent urine chemical analysis very useful in both healthy and sick dogs [38].…”

Bioactive peptides have considerable animal health promoting properties. The effects of supplementation with collagen peptides and vitamin C (PolyPet®) on urinalysis were evaluated in a total of 24 Labrador retrievers with similar feeding and handling characteristics randomly selected into three groups (control group, group 1, and group 1). 2). The treatments consisted of supplementing a group with 6.6 gr daily with PolyPet®, group 2 with 3.3 gr and the last group (control group) without any supplementation. Urine samples were taken at days 0, 30 and 60 from the 24 canines in the study. The urinalysis parameters evaluated were protein, ascorbic acid, urinary protein/urinary creatinine ratio (UP/UC), nitrites, specific gravity, crystalluria, pH, calciuria, odor, creatinuria, and body weight. It was determined that there was no significant difference between the values of urinary protein presence, in group 1 the UP/UC ratio increased slightly. In the presence of crystals, there was no significant difference compared to the three groups. For amorphous urate and uric acid crystals, there was an increase with porcine collagen peptide supplementation and the variables triple phosphate, struvite crystals and weight loss were positively affected by supplementation. The use of collagen peptides and vitamin C (PolyPet®) demonstrated positive effects on the health of canines, being considered as a safe food for healthy individuals.

Köpeklerin sağlıklı beslenmesine önem veren insanların sayısı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bundan dolayı fonksiyonel faydaları olduğu bilinen gıdalar ve katkılar köpek sahipleri arasında popülerlik kazanmaktadır. Artan bu ilgi ile birlikte evcil hayvanların sağlığını optimize etmek için fonksiyonel katkıların rolü önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Biyoaktif fonksiyonel özellikleri nedeniyle sık kullanılan bitkilerden biri de Yucca schidigera’dır. Yucca ekstraktı insan, at, çiftlik hayvanları ve kedi-köpek diyetlerinde uzun süredir yem katkı maddesi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yucca tozunun veya ekstraktının ana bileşenleri, antioksidan, antienflamatuar, antiviral, antiprotozoal, antimutajenik, antikanser ve kolesterol azaltımına sahip steroidal saponinler, polisakkaritler ve polifenollerdir. Yucca sağlık ve performansa olumlu etkileri, besin madde yararlanımı artırma, dışkı kokusunu azaltma, amonyak ve hidrojen sülfit gibi bazı zararlı uçucu bileşiklerin giderilmesi amacıyla köpeklerde diyet katkı maddesi olarak değerlendirilir. Fakat, dışkı kokusunu azaltıcı etkileri dışında köpekler üzerindeki etkileri bilinmemektedir. Bu derlemede Yucca schidigera’nın köpeklerde sağlık, sindirilebilirlik, dışkı kokusu, bağırsak gazı oluşumu, kan parametreleri, oksidasyon ve dışkı mikrobiyotasına olan etkileri açıklanmıştır.
