Using dry dog food label information, the hypothesis was tested that the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) increases with an increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients and a decreasing number of animal-protein ingredients among the first four ingredients. A nested case-control study was conducted with 85 GDV cases and 194 controls consuming a single brand and variety of dry food. Neither an increasing number of animal-protein ingredients (P=0.79) nor an increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients (P=0.83) among the first four ingredients significantly influenced GDV risk. An unexpected finding was that dry foods containing an oil or fat ingredient (e.g., sunflower oil, animal fat) among the first four ingredients were associated with a significant (P=0.01), 2.4-fold increased risk of GDV. These findings suggest that the feeding of dry dog foods that list oils or fats among the first four label ingredients predispose a high-risk dog to GDV.
利用干狗粮标签信息，对以下假设进行了检验：在前四种成分中，随着大豆和谷物成分数量的增加以及动物蛋白成分数量的减少，胃扩张-扭转（GDV）的风险会增加。对85例GDV病例和194例食用单一品牌和种类干狗粮的对照犬进行了一项巢式病例对照研究。在前四种成分中，动物蛋白成分数量的增加（P=0.79）和大豆及谷物成分数量的增加（P=0.83）均未显著影响GDV风险。一个意外发现是，在前四种成分中含有油或脂肪成分（如向日葵油、动物脂肪）的干狗粮与GDV风险显著增加（P=0.01）2.4倍有关。这些发现表明，在前四种标签成分中列出油或脂肪的干狗粮喂养会使高危犬易患GDV。
