Urrego, Maria Isabel Gonzalez published the artcileDietary protein sources and their effects on faecal odour and the composition of volatile organic compounds in faeces of French Bulldogs, Name: 4-Hydroxy-3-tert-butylanisole, the main research area is feces odor dietary protein volatile organic compound; canine; indole; malodorous compounds; phenol.
The strong odor of faeces and excessive production of gases in some dog breeds have long been a concern of owners. The pet food industry uses nutritional alternatives, such as high-quality ingredients and additives, to improve the odor of faeces. However, there are still some dog breeds, such as the French Bulldog, that present this problem due to the presence into the large intestine of indigested protein. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the volatile compounds that influence the odor of dog faeces is important. This study aimed to identify changes of faecal odor compounds that are most prevalent in French Bulldogs based on food containing different high-quality protein sources and their effect in sensory anal. Four maintenance foods with different protein sources were formulated: P, poultry meal food; W, wheat gluten food; PW, poultry meal and wheat gluten food; and PWH, poultry meal, wheat gluten, and hydrolyzed protein food. Eight adult French Bulldogs were arranged in a 4×4 Latin square design and adapted to foods for 28 days. Fresh faeces were collected for anal. of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sensory anal. The means were compared by SAS, and statistical significance was indicated by p ≤ 0.05. No adverse effects were observed in the animals regarding VOCs, and a significant difference was observed in two of the 68 compounds identified. The animals fed a P food had higher concentrations of phenol in the faeces, whereas the indole compound was present at higher concentrations in animals fed the W food. P food was associated with higher odor perception during sensory evaluation. In summary, the source of protein in the foods had little impact on the composition of VOCs, and a greater perception of the odor was determined by sensory anal. when foods containing animal protein were administered.
