Intake of snacks containing curcumin stimulates erythropoiesis and antioxidant response in dogs

“…Turmeric also has beneficial effects on the health of dogs due to its bioactive compound, the curcumin. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory effects and stimulates the activity of several antioxidant enzymes in the blood serum of dogs fed rations containing this compound (Campigotto et al, 2020). The incorporation of marigold as an antioxidant did not result in scavenging of DPPH and ABTS radicals at levels higher than biscuits without the addition of natural antioxidants.…”

“…Generally, polyunsaturated fatty acids present in vegetable oils are more prone to lipid oxidation than animal fat. Thus, one way to increase the shelf life of biscuits and other high-fat pet foods is to use antioxidants such as synthetic butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), butylhydroxyanisole (BHA) and ethoxyquin (Campigotto et al, 2020). However, the use of synthetic antioxidants in foods has been related to deleterious effects to the human and animal organism.…”

“…The species contains a variety of active biological constituents, such as carotenoids, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, phenolic acids, which have a wide range of pharmacological effects (AshwlayanVD & Verma, 2018). In this way, the inclusion of natural antioxidants in dog food aims to protect lipid oxidation during storage and their biological properties act to promote animal health (Campigotto, et al, 2020). The present work aims to evaluate the effects of different sources of fat and natural antioxidants on the physicochemical and technological characteristics and on the shelf life of canine biscuits.…”

Turmeric and Curcumin—Health-Promoting Properties in Humans versus Dogs

“…The authors of that study found that curcumin in dog snacks stimulated the antioxidant system and consequently reduced oxidative responses, which is beneficial for animal health. Moreover, 30 mg of curcumin/dog/day reduced the leukocyte count, suggesting a mild anti-inflammatory effect [110]. Moreover, according to research, turmeric significantly alleviates the symptoms of food allergy and inhibits the levels of IgE and IgG1, which significantly reduce the symptoms of food allergy [111].…”

“…Snacks that contain curcumin have been found to be beneficial for dogs' health. In one study [110], in snacks that were produced for dogs from commercially canned meat, curcumin was added, homogenized, and offered to dogs twice a day. On the 15th day, the erythrocyte and hematocrit counts were higher in curcumin-fed dogs than in control dogs.…”
