Dr. Sajid was invited to visit the Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias da UNESP, campus de Jaboticabal, to participate as collaborator in discussions of two studies FAPESP 2013 / 20340-0 " Diets with different protein and carbohydrate ratios for cats: effects on energy and protein metabolism and methods to evaluate energy expenditure", and the project executed by Master's Degree…
Cats are carnivores with a high requirement for nitrogen and amino acids Starch digestion and metabolism of these animais has been studied, however important aspects are not completely understood, especially the effects of protein to starch ratios on feline energy and protein metabolism. This is important to promote long-term health benefits and as a potential tool to prevent obesity deve…
Gats are carnivore animals, with high protein requirements. Carbohydrate metabolism and use by cats has been studied, but several aspects remain unknown. The present study will evaluate the consumption of diets with different proportions of protein and carbohydrates over the energy and protein metabolism, and oxalate formation and urinary excretion. Additionally, methods for energy requir…

Highly available inorganic sources of phosphorus (P) might induced increased postprandial serum P concentration, stimulating the secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in increased renal P excretion. Concerns exist about the implications of these mechanisms for kidney health. Phosphoric acid is a common source of soluble P included in c…
Currently, protein sources in cat food are mostly of animal origin, but for sustainability, cost, and nutritional reasons, vegetable sources are included as part of the supply of amino acids. Thus, the goal of this study will be to evaluate the effects of replacing chicken viscera flour (FVF) with concentrated soy protein (CS), corn gluten (GM), and wheat gluten (GT) in diets for cats, on…
Cats are carnivorous animals, with a high need for amino acids. The use of starch by these animals has already been studied, however, there is still information that is not well clarified for the species, especially regarding its potential effect on the endogenous formation of oxalate. Of desert origin, cats present more concentrated urine when fed with dry kibble. The objectives of this …
This research aims to evaluate and compare the effects of B-glucans extracted from the yeast cell wall with that extracted from seaweed on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, fermentation products in the feces and immunological parameters of adult dogs. Four diets will be used for the study: control without B-glucans (CON), B-LEV with 0.115% yeast B-glucans, B-A15 with 0.155% al…

The objective of the Research Internship Abroad (BEPE) is to continue the research carried out in Brazil. Considering the complexity and diversity of results that were generated by this study, the opportunity to share these data with another researcher is important, allowing a better interpretation and enrichment of the research. This might be especially important for the fecal microbiome…
The aims of this study will be to verify the influence of thermal energy in dog food by evaluating the parameters of feed extrusion process on the physical characteristics of the kibble. After mixing and grinding the ingredients, diets will be produced adding six amounts of steam in the conditioner. Water input during extrusion will compensate the greater or lesser injection of steam, how…
Dogs and cats are carnivores, animals with high requirements of amino acids. Their capacity of use starch had been studied, but several aspects remain unclear. We have a research line on carbohydrates for dogs and cats, and this was the subject of our Associate-Professor Thesis. Our research group has been conducting studies about digestibility and gut fermentation, and glucose and insuli…
