EFFECT OF DIETARY PROTEIN, FIBRE AND LIPOTROPIC FACTOR ON THE MANAGEMENT OF CANINE OBESITY

Abstract
A study was carried out to formulate different therapeutic diets for the management of canine obesity and to evaluate the effect of prepared therapeutic diets in obese dogs. Four different dietary formulations namely, control diet (T1) (based on AAFCO, 2014), high protein high fibre diet (T2), high protein medium fibre diet (T3) and the control diet supplemented with choline chloride (T4) were prepared by extrusion. The percentage of crude protein and crude fibre of T1, T2, T3 and T4 diet were 15.74 ± 0.04, 21.90 ± 0.18, 21.73 ± 0.25and 15.72 ± 0.04 and 4.09 ± 0.06, 11.28 ± 0.16, 8.23 ± 0.17 and 3.99 ± 0.12, respectively.
