Farklı protein düzeyleri ile beslemenin köpeklerde tercih ve bazı kan değerleri üzerine etkisi

Amaç: Çalışma köpeklerde farklı protein düzeyleri ile beslemenin etkilerini gözlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Canlı ağırlıkları 15-30 kg arasında olan kısırlaştırılmış 30 adet genç yetişkin erkek köpek kullanıldı. Kuru maddesinde %18, 21, 25 ve 28 ham protein içeren 4 ekstrude mama üretildi ve bir ay boyunca 28 köpeğe yedirildi. Çalışmanın başında ve sonunda kan örnekleri alındı. Bulgular: Kan üre nitrojeninin (BUN) protein düzeyinden önemli düzeyde etkilendiği; kreatinin, total protein, albumin ve fosfor düzeylerinin ise değişmediği tespit edildi. Köpeklerin yüksek proteinli mamayı daha çok tercih ettikleri belirlendi. Öneri: Bir ay süreyle yedirilen yüksek proteinli mamaların kan değerleri üzerine olumsuz etkilerinin olmadığı gözlendi. Yüksek proteinin böbrek fonksiyonları üzerine etkilerinin belirlenebilmesi için farklı yöntemler uygulanmalıdır.

Effects of feeding diets with different protein levels on preference and some blood parameters in dogs

Aim: This study aimed to establish the effect of different dietaryprotein levels on certain blood parameters and food preferenceof dogs.Materials and Methods: A sample of 30 neutered, adult maledogs, with live weights of approximately 15-30 kg. Twenty-eightof dogs were fed four manufactured diets that respectively contained18%, 21%, 25%, and 28% crude protein in dry matter fora period of one month. Blood samples were taken at the beginningand at the end of the study.Results: The blood urea nitrogen levels were found to be significantlyaffected by the protein level in the diet, however, creatinine,total protein, albumin, and phosphorus levels were notfound to be directly affected by dietary protein. It was determinedthat dogs prefer food with higher protein content in thepreference test conducted with thirty dogs.Conclusion: There were no adverse effects on the blood parametersof the different protein levels. The effects of high proteinfoods on kidney function should be monitored using differentmethods.
