The incidence of chronic enteropathies (CE), in particular food-responsive enteropathies (FRE) in dogs, is on the rise in veterinary practice. The symptoms of these digestive disorders cannot be alleviated with the use of commercial hypoallergenic feeds. The applicability of novel materials in hypoallergenic dog feeds is limited, and edible insects could pose a viable alternative. Insects have a high nutritional value, and their potential can be harnessed to design personalized nutrition strategies. However, the use of insects in animal feeds should be rigorously tested. The aim of this study was to analyze the applicability of edible insects as a source of dietary protein for companion animals, including the current and future prospects. Canine food formulas should be evaluated in a clinical setting. The role of edible insects in pet diets and the efficacy of this material in animal nutrition should be examined in advanced clinical trials in gastroenterology, histology, immunology, and microbiology. These efforts are required to guarantee the safety and efficacy of innovative insect-based feeds and to increase their popularity among veterinary practitioners, pet food producers, and animal owners.
在兽医临床实践中，犬类慢性肠病（CE），尤其是食物反应性肠病（FRE）的发病率正在上升。使用市售低敏饲料无法缓解这些消化系统疾病的症状。新型材料在低敏犬粮中的适用性有限，而食用昆虫可能是一种可行的替代方案。昆虫具有很高的营养价值，可以利用它们的潜力来设计个性化的营养策略。然而，在动物饲料中使用昆虫应该经过严格测试。本研究的目的是分析食用昆虫作为伴侣动物膳食蛋白质来源的适用性，包括当前和未来的前景。犬粮配方应在临床环境中进行评估。食用昆虫在宠物饮食中的作用以及这种材料在动物营养中的功效，应在胃肠病学、组织学、免疫学和微生物学的高级临床试验中进行研究。需要这些努力来确保创新型昆虫基饲料的安全性和有效性，并提高它们在兽医从业者、宠物食品生产商和动物主人中的受欢迎程度。
