Abstract:
A pet food product and process for repartitioning nitrogen and increasing colonic blood flow in dogs is provided which involves feeding a dog a diet of a pet food composition containing fermentable fibers which have an organic matter disappearance of 15 to 60 percent when fermented by fecal bacteria for a 24 hour period, the fibers being present in amounts from about 1 to 11 weight percent of supplemental total dietary fiber. The dog is maintained on the diet for a sufficient period of time to allow the fermentable fibers to ferment in the colon of the dog. The fermentation results in an increased quantity of bacteria in the colon of the dog, resulting in increased nitrogen excretion through the feces of the dog.
