This study aimed to determine whether camelina oil is safe for use in canine diets, using canola oil and flax oil as controls, as they are similar and generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for canine diets. A total of thirty privately-owned adult dogs of various breeds (17 females; 13 males), with an average age of 7.2 ± 3.1 years (mean ± SD) and a body weight (BW) of 27.4 ± 14.0 kg were used. After a 4-week wash-in period using sunflower oil and kibble, the dogs were blocked by breed, age, and size and were randomly allocated to one of three treatment oils (camelina (CAM), flax (FLX), or canola (OLA)) at a level of 8.2 g oil/100 g total dietary intake. Body condition score (BCS), BW, food intake (FI), and hematological and select biochemical parameters were measured at various timepoints over a 16-week feeding period. All of the data were analyzed with ANOVA using the PROC GLIMMIX of SAS. No biologically significant differences were seen between the treatment groups in terms of BW, BCS, FI, and hematological and biochemical results. Statistically significant differences noted among some serum biochemical results were considered small and were due to normal biological variation. These results support the conclusion that camelina oil is safe for use in canine nutrition.
本研究旨在确定荠蓝油用于犬类饮食是否安全,使用菜籽油和亚麻油作为对照,因为它们相似且通常被认为对犬类饮食安全(一般认为安全,GRAS)。总共使用了30只不同品种的 privately-owned成年犬(17只雌性;13只雄性),平均年龄为7.2±3.1岁(均值±标准差),体重(BW)为27.4±14.0千克。在使用葵花籽油和狗粮进行4周的导入期后,这些狗按品种、年龄和体型进行分组,并被随机分配到三种处理油之一(荠蓝(CAM)、亚麻(FLX)或油菜(OLA)),剂量为8.2克油/100克总饮食摄入量。在16周的喂养期内的不同时间点测量身体状况评分(BCS)、体重、食物摄入量(FI)以及血液学和选定的生化参数。所有数据使用SAS的PROC GLIMMIX通过方差分析(ANOVA)进行分析。在体重、BCS、FI以及血液学和生化结果方面,各治疗组之间未观察到生物学上的显著差异。在一些血清生化结果中 noted的统计学显著差异被认为较小,是由于正常的生物学变异。这些结果支持了荠蓝油用于犬类营养是安全的这一结论。
