The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the administration of on the nutritional, immunological, inflammatory, and stress status and on the composition of the gut microbiota and mycobiota in healthy adult dogs. A total of 25 American Staffordshire Terrier dogs were selected and randomly assigned to two groups: control (CTR, n = 12) and treated (TRT, n = 13) groups. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding body weight, body condition score, and fecal score. No significant differences in microbiota/mycobiota, short chain fatty acids, indole/skatole, histamine, zonulin, or lactoferrin were detected. Indeed, supplementation with significantly decreased fecal calprotectin Immunoglobulin A, indicating an improvement in the gut well-being. Interestingly, fecal cortisol significantly decreased in dogs belonging to the TRT group compared to the CTR, suggesting both an improvement of the intestinal status and a reduction of stress, a common condition affecting animals managed in a breeding environment.
本研究的目的是评估给予[具体物质未提及]对健康成年犬的营养、免疫、炎症和应激状态以及肠道微生物群和真菌群组成的影响。总共选择了25只美国斯塔福郡梗犬,并随机分为两组:对照组(CTR,n = 12)和治疗组(TRT,n = 13)。两组在体重、身体状况评分和粪便评分方面未发现显著差异。在微生物群/真菌群、短链脂肪酸、吲哚/粪臭素、组胺、闭合蛋白或乳铁蛋白方面未检测到显著差异。事实上,补充[具体物质未提及]显著降低了粪便钙卫蛋白免疫球蛋白A,表明肠道健康状况有所改善。有趣的是,与CTR组相比,TRT组犬的粪便皮质醇显著降低,这表明肠道状态得到改善且应激减轻,应激是影响繁殖环境中管理的动物的常见情况。
