A healthy gut feeling: Why the gut is the key for animal welfare and performance - an article contributed to International Petfood by Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition GmbH & Co. KG.
Whenever welfare and well-being is in focus, the term “gut health” comes up as well. But what defines gut health and how can it be maintained? Surely there is more to gut health than merely the absence of gastrointestinal illness. Good digestion and absorption of are as much a sign of a healthy gut as an effective immune system and a normal and stable microbiota. There is no doubt that animal nutrition plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the gut. The search for advanced dietary strategies to strengthen the resilience of animals to infections and non-infectious stressors is therefore a powerful driver for the development of innovative feed additives aimed at improving gut health and animal well-being.

In a wet food acceptance test conducted by Protix, 94 percent of and 81 percent of were happy to eat containing protein as the sole source of protein. The food was presented over two consecutive days in addition to the ’s normal diet. All the dogs that accepted the food found it so irresistible, they devoured the full amount offered. Cats are known for adapting only slowly to a new diet, yet even here 50 percent ate all the food presented. This is a very ‘pawsitive’ result, and forms the basis for longer and more extensive trials to deep dive into the palatability and best inclusion levels for insect-based petfood.

Horses were first domesticated in around 3500 BC, likely by Botai hunter- gatherers, who used them as transport for hunting. Although we cannot retrieve information about what the horses ate at this time, we can infer that horse diets in the past mainly consisted of , hay, straw, and cut grass, with other being introduced later on like bran, alfalfa, peas, a mixture of grains and ground legumes as humans began to tame them. As have become more domesticated- being used for horse racing, hunting, and horse riding as a general sport- horse feed has become significantly more important as buyers are looking for the most nutritious, effective brands and forms of horse feed to ensure that their horses are strong and healthy enough to carry out the activities they are used for.
