Title:
METHOD FOR IMPROVING BONE MODELING AND CHONDROCYTE FUNCTIONING IN GROWING CANINES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011130774
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a process for promoting bone modeling and chondrocyte functioning in growing canines.
The process includes administering to a growing canine a pet food composition which includes an appropriate amount and ratio of dietary n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. The composition can further include a source of protein, a source of fat, a source of fiber, and a source of carbohydrates. Use of the preferred concentrations of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids can promote synthesis and tissue accumulation of down regulating elements of inflamation, which stimulate bone formation and optimize bone modeling.
