Description

DRY FOOD TO REDUCE DOGS' APPETITES
The pet-food industry produces two main categories of food: wet food and dry food. Wet food usually has a moisture level of over 70% water while dry food rarely contains more than 12%. Wet food is distributed in the form of cans whereas dry food is in the form of granules, biscuits and, most commonly, extrudated nuggets. Wet food primarily consists of meat, abattoir by¬ products and/or fish. Dry foods consist of cereals, various by-products of the food industry (flour, starch, sugar and oil producing industries) , dried meat or fish meal, minerals (calcium carbonate, calcium phosphates, mineral trace elements), vitamins and flavourings .
This is why wet food has been traditionally regarded as more appetizing than dry food.
Nonetheless, the pet-food industry has succeeded in overcoming this disadvantage by making dry food more and more palatable through the choice of ingredients used, the technology for manufacturing nuggets and, most importantly, the use of new flavourings which dogs like and which stimulate their appetites. The unexpected consequence of this success is that 20 to 25% of dogs are obese in the industrialized countries. Overeating gives dogs excess metabolisable energy which accumulates mainly in the form of fat.
Obesity leads to many pathological disorders in these animals, the most common of which are arthritic disease, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Many methods have been put forward to reduce over¬ eating in dogs, for example:
Rationing the amount of food: the daily amount of food given to the animal is reduced drastically but hunger makes them nervous and can lead to unpleasant and possibly even aggressive behaviour; formulation of low-calorie products, especially by reducing the amount of fat. However, a severe cut in fat quantities can cause pathological skin or cardiovascular disorders as a result of a deficiency in essential fatty acid, especially the omega-3 fatty acids; formulation of low-calorie products with a higher protein content in order to increase the protein/calorie ratio. However, this type of formula has little effect on the spontaneous consumption of food by dogs and obliges the owner to apply strict rationing which is often difficult to impose and has the same disadvantages as the quantity rationing approach described above.
The problems caused by these current methods of controlling the energy intake of dogs are aggravated when animals are bred in a confined environment, such as a town apartment.
Moreover, it is known that the sensation of hunger in dogs gives rise to complex physiological mechanisms brining into play many physico-chemical and intermediate chemico-biological receptors: - oro-pharyngeal, gustative and olfactory receptors; physical receptors of the stomach and intestine; chemosensitive receptors of the intestine; - porto-hepatic chemoreceptors sensitive to glycaemia or pyruvate concentration in the portal vein; gastro-intestinal hormones including cholecystokinine; pancreas hormones, glucagon and insulin. The Applicant has unexpectedly discovered that psyllium can reduce the appetite of dogs and their spontaneous consumption of food.
This is why this invention relates the use of psyllium seeds or parts of seeds to be incorporated into dry food for dogs in order to reduce the appetite of dogs, at a concentration of over 0.2%, preferably over 0.5% and below 4% by weight of said foodstuff.
Psyllium is a small seed produced by plants of the genus Plantago, principally Plantago ovata and Plantago afra. Psyllium seeds are very rich in soluble and insoluble fibres (65 % cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, on the one hand, and 35% of gums, pectins and mucilage on the other) . These fibres are found mainly in the tegument or seed « husk ».
The Applicant has found that the effect of psyllium on dogs' appetites can be obtained with the whole psyllium seed and more advantageously, with its tegument (husk) . Seeds and teguments can therefore be combined in a mixture.
Experiments have shown that even relatively small amounts of psyllium seeds or parts of seeds are enough to produce the above-described effect.
Therefore the quantity by weight of psyllium or parts of psyllium seeds should be greater than 0.2% by weight of the food, preferably greater than 0.3% by weight and even more preferably greater than 0.5%.
Levels below 4% can be used within the scope of this invention. It is also possible to use mixtures of psyllium seeds and teguments (husks) .
This invention also relates to dry food for dogs aimed at reducing their appetites containing psyllium seeds or parts of seeds at a concentration greater than 0.2% by weight, preferably greater than 0.5% and below 4% by weight, these dry foods for dogs containing preferably at least one cereal, at least one animal or vegetable protein source and at least one animal or vegetable fat source. Psyllium seeds or parts of seeds can be added to known dry food compositions for dogs. Given the relatively small quantity needed to produce a reduction in appetite, it is not necessary to significantly modify the compositions in question which can be obtained using any conventional process used in this industry.
Without knowing the exact mechanism of this effect, the Applicant has carried out the following non-exhaustive experiments in order to demonstrate the ability of psyllium to reduce spontaneous food consumption in dogs.
EXPERIMENT 1
We formulated and manufactured by extrusion two nugget foods consisting of cereals, poultry meal, maize gluten, dried beetroot pulp, poultry fat, fish oil, calcium carbonate, flavouring for dogs and a « premix of vitamins and mineral trace elements ».
The two foods were formulated to contain: - Moisture: maximum 9.5 %.
Metabolisable energy: minimum 2 900 kcal/kg Proteins: minimum 30 %. Fats: minimum 7.5 %. Crude fibre: minimum 17.5 % - Ashes: maximum 5.8 %
Non-nitrogenated extract: q.s. [100 (moisture+ protein + fats + crude fibre + ashes) 1 % The first food formulated in this way was used as the control. The second food, designated as « Psyllium », contained 0.5% psyllium tegument (husk) .
For the purposes of the experiment, we also tested a third commercial pet food, Hill's Canine r/d, currently used to control obesity in dogs.
These three foods were tested on three groups of 6 dogs, each group including 2 Shetland sheepdogs
(average weight: 8.5 kg), 2 Breton Spaniels (average weight : 20 kg) and 2 Labradors (average weight: 43 kg) .
Each animal was fed with its corresponding test food ad libitum every day for a limited period of 15 minutes. At the end of the meal, the amount of food consumed by each animal was carefully weighed. The experiment was repeated for 10 days.
Average food consumption over a 10-day period was as follows (in grams/dog/day) :
Control: 216.2 c - Psyllium: 172.3 a
Hill's Canine r/d: 201.7 b (a, b, c: significant difference at p < 0.05).
The presence of psyllium therefore considerably reduced spontaneous consumption in dogs: by 20.3% with respect to the control and by 14.6% with respect to the reference commercial product.
In order to eliminate differences in consumption related to the large differences in dog size, the results were adjusted to the « metabolic weight » of each animal (in grams/kg weight °-73) : Control: 18.4 b Psyllium: 15.2 a Hill's Canine r/d: 21.0 c (a, b, c: significant difference at p < 0,05) . In terms of metabolic weight, spontaneous consumption in dogs was considerably reduced by psyllium: by 17.4% with respect to the control and by 27.6% with respect to the reference commercial product.
EXPERIMENT 2
We formulated and manufactured by extrusion two nugget foods consisting of cereals, poultry meal, maize gluten, dried beetroot pulp, poultry fat, fish oil, soya oil, calcium carbonate, flavouring for dogs and a
« premix of vitamins and mineral trace elements ».
The two foods were formulated to contain: Moisture: maximum 9.5 %. - Metabolisable energy: minimum 3 450 kcal/kg Proteins: minimum 28 %. Fats: minimum 9 %. Crude fibre: minimum 7.9 % Ashes: maximum 4.7 % - Non-nitrogenated extract: q.s. [100 - (moisture + protein + fats + crude fibre + ashes) ] %
The first food formulated in this way was used as the control. The second food, designated as « Psyllium », contained 0.5% psyllium tegument (husk) . These two foods were tested on three groups of 6 dogs, each group including 2 Labradors (average weight: 33.5 kg), 2 German Shepherds (average weight : 29.5 kg) and 2 Boxers (average weight: 30.5 kg).
The two foods were distributed as follows: each animal was fed ad libitum for 15 minutes at 08, 09, 10 and 11 o' clock.
Average food consumption was as follows (in grams/ kg weight0'73) :
Control Psyllium 08 o'clock 36.1 b 31.1 a
09 o'clock 5.6 a 3.5 a 10 o ' clock 8 . 0 a 7 . 2 a
11 o ' clock 4 . 6 a 5 . 1 a
In total 54.3 b 46.8 a (on the same a, b line: significant difference at p < 0, 05) .
The reduction in food consumption in the presence of psyllium is significant at the first hour and at 3 hours. The presence of psyllium therefore greatly reduces spontaneous consumption by dogs, by 13.8% compared to the control.
EXPERIMENT 3 We carried out the following experiment in order to establish whether these differences in consumption were due to the lack of palatability of psyllium:
105 dogs of various breeds and very different sizes were fed ad libitum simultaneously with two bowls, one containing « Psyllium » food and the other containing Hill's Canine r/d as used in Experiment 1. After 60 minutes, the bowls were removed and the food consumed weighed.
Average consumption expressed as a percentage of the total amount of the two foods consumed by each animal is as follows:
Psyllium: 82 a Hill's Canine r/d: 18 b
(a, b: significant difference at p < 0,05) . This experiment shows that psyllium in no way diminishes appetite for the food containing it.
EXPERIMENT 4
We carried out the following experiment in order to establish whether these differences in consumption were due to the lack of palatability of psyllium: 27 dogs of various breeds and very different sizes were fed ad libitum simultaneously with two bowls, one containing « Psyllium » food and the other containing the Control Food of Experiment 1. After 60 minutes, the bowls were removed and the food consumed weighed.
Average consumption expressed as a percentage of the total amount of the two foods consumed by each animal is as follows:
Psyllium: 81 a - Control: 19 b
(a, b: significant difference at p < 0,05) . This experiment shows that psyllium in no way diminishes appetite for the food containing it.
This set of four experiments shows that the presence of psyllium significantly reduces spontaneous consumption of food and that this reduction in consumption is not because psyllium unappetizing.
EXPERIMENT 5
The three food types used in Experiment 1 were again given to the dogs used in the first experiment.
However, the daily food ration was modified as follows: each animal was fed ad libitum for 15 minutes, at 8, 9, 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning.
Average consumption of each food was as follows (in grams/kilo weight0'73) :
Control Psyllium Hill's
08 o' clock 19.4 b 14.1 a 16.4 ab
09 o' clock 11.5 b 5.3 a 10.3 b
10 o' clock 9.2 b 1.7 a 7.0 b
11 o' clock 4.5 b 0.6 a 3.7 b (on the same a, b line: significant difference at p < 0, 05) .
This effect of psyllium in decreasing food consumption lasts for at least 3 hours.
EXPERIMENT 6
Experiment 5 was repeated but with food only given twice a day, at 8 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Average consumption of each food was as follows (in grams/kilo weight0'73) :
Control Psyllium Hill's Canine r/d
08 o'clock 21.8 b 15.6 a 19.8 b
15 o'clock 22.3 b 16.0 a 19.2 b
(on the same a, b line: significant difference at p < 0, 05) .
This effect of psyllium in decreasing food consumption lasts for at least 7 hours.
This set of experiments shows that the presence of psyllium in food significantly reduces spontaneous consumption by dogs and that this decrease is not due to the lack of palatability of psyllium.
