Investigations into the immunomodulating effects of pre- and postbiotics in companion animal nutrition Universiteit Gent
The overarching objective of this doctoral dissertation was to investigate the effect of diet on host health (immune) status, by studying the supplementation of the prebiotics scFOS (short chain fructo-oligosaccharides) and YF (yeast fractions containing mannanoligosaccharides) to dogs, and the postbiotic butyrate to horses. In previously published research by Swanson et al. (2002a,b) investigating the effect of scFOS and MOS on immune ...
Meat production outlook for the coming decades: recent advances in animal nutrition and health industry outlook Universiteit Gent
Effect of maternal and paternal nutrition on DNAmethylation in the offspring: a systematic re iew of human and a nimal studies. KU Leuven
Maternal or paternal diet may influence health throughout life. This is a systematic review of studies in humans and animals specifically investigating DNA methylation in progeny in relation to diet of the mother or father, or previous generations. There is an overview of the type of diet studied and themetabolic paths affected. Food deprivation in humans and animal models, studies on imprinted genes, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis and ...
First detailed nutritional survey in a referral companion animal population Universiteit Gent
Optimal nutrition in every life stage and certainly in diseased animals will contribute greatly to improve overall health and quality of life. The 5th VA guidelines have been designed to help veterinarians to implement a nutritional assessment into every patient, every time it comes into their practice. This nutritional survey in referral patients was conducted by one person skilled in acquiring detailed nutritional information and evaluating ...
Nutritional strategies to combat Salmonella in mono-gastric food animal production Universiteit Gent
Nutritional strategies to minimize Salmonella in food animal production are one of the key components in producing safer food. The current European approach is to use a farm-to-fork strategy, where each sector must implement measures to minimize and reduce Salmonella contamination. In the pre-harvest phase, this means that all available tools need to be used such as implementation of biosecurity measures, control of Salmonella infections in ...
The principles, practices and some future applications of near infrared spectroscopy for predicting the nutritive value of foods for animals and humans Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The current application and future potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the evaluation of foods for domesticated animals and humans is enormous. Where used, NIR spectroscopy has revolutionized the analysis and nutritional evaluation of animal feeds and human foods by providing a rapid means of examination. The availability of accurate and rapid methods of evaluation is becoming increasingly important to meet the nutritional ...
