“Effects of spray-dried plasma on nutrient digestibility, fecal metabolites, microbiota, and immune and inflammatory biomarkers in adult dogs”
APC is pleased to announce the publication of a peer-reviewed study conducted with the University of Illinois Department of Animal Sciences evaluating how plasma included in extruded kibble supports canine gut health and key immune indicators in adult canines.
Results show meaningful shifts in fecal metabolite profiles suggesting a beneficial microbial impact and a positive effect on gut health. These findings add to the growing body of evidence on plasma’s role in supporting gut health and whole-body wellness in dogs.
Research highlights include:
-Study design and controls that isolate plasma’s contribution to gut health
-Exploration of the linear effects of plasma in canine diets
-Nutrient digestibility, fecal metabolites, microbiome and immune biomarker results relevant to canine gut health
