We compared analyzed nutrient contents of Canadian-specific dry dog and cat foods to the guaranteed analyses on packages and to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) 2018 nutrient targets to assess compliance with the We also explored differences in macronutrient content between species (dog and cat) and life stage for adult pet foods (all life stages and senior). Extruded dog ( = 16) or cat ( = 11) foods advertised as all life stage or senior, sold only in Canada, and carrying an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement were selected. Proximate analyses and amino acid analyses were completed on all diets. Of the 27 foods, 25 met or exceeded the AAFCO nutrient recommendations. Only 9 foods met all nutrient content claims listed in their guaranteed analyses. Nutrient content between species or life stages was not different ( > 0.10).
我们将加拿大特定的干狗粮和猫粮的营养成分与包装上的保证分析以及美国饲料管理官员协会（AAFCO）2018年的营养目标进行了比较分析，以评估其是否符合要求。我们还探讨了成年宠物食品（所有生命阶段和老年阶段）在不同物种（狗和猫）以及生命阶段之间的宏量营养素含量差异。选择了仅在加拿大销售、宣传为所有生命阶段或老年阶段且带有AAFCO营养充足声明的挤压狗粮（n = 16）或猫粮（n = 11）。对所有日粮进行了近似分析和氨基酸分析。在这27种食品中，有25种达到或超过了AAFCO的营养建议。只有9种食品满足其保证分析中列出的所有营养成分声明。不同物种或生命阶段之间的营养成分没有差异（P>0.10）。
