TL;DR: Variations in diet digestibility and post-prandial response can be explained by differences in chemical composition of each starch source including fibre content and starch granule structure.

TL;DR: Energy supply, even if modest and close to resting energy requirements appears to be positively associated with hospital discharge, however, disease severity was the main negative factor on outcome and also had a negative effect on energy intake, making it difficult to separate the effects of both factors when interpreting hospital discharge.

TL;DR: It was concluded that micronized whole soybeans in combination with other protein sources containing complementary amino acids are a source of highly available, quality-consistent protein raw materials for both dog and cat diets.

TL;DR: For all fibre analyses, there was a significant correlation between fibre intake and faecal fibre excretion, and a combination of TDF and CF analyses might give good information on the content of total, unfermentable (CF) and partially fermentable fibre (TDF-CF) in pet foods.

TL;DR: The enzyme addition did not result in improved digestibility of a diet high in non-starch polysaccharides; however, only ATTD was measured and nutrient fermentation in the large intestine may have interfered with the results obtained.
