Download or read book Dog Nutrition 101 written by Anthony Portokaloglou and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern world, keeping our canine companions happy and healthy can be a jaunting and expensive commitment over the course of their lifetimes. According to a global survey of 22 countries conducted by GFK in 2016, 33% of people live with dogs. In the U.S., a 2017-2018 survey by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) revealed approximately 89.7 million dogs owned by 70% of households. With lifetime expectancies of 12-16 years for most canines, owners often underestimate the costs of providing for the health and nutritional needs of their furry family member. Here in the U.S., we spend a lot of money on our dogs for both health and nutrition. As of 2017, the American Kennel Club (AKC) indicates routine canine veterinary costs range from $200-$500 per year depending on the size, age and health of your dog. This yearly cost does not include over the counter medications, dental cleanings and any emergencies or additional health issues that may arise. Similarly, the US Pet Food Industry's most recent report shows that annual costs of dog food can range from $55-$235 depending on the size of your pet and type/quality of food being provided, although many owners argue that number can reach into the $500 range or more per year for bigger dogs. This estimated annual cost excludes biscuits, treats, supplements and medically prescribed foods, which can boost yearly costs to nearly $1000 for a single dog! By examining the links between canine health and nutrition, pet owners will learn about the history of canine nutrition, the diseases related to poor or improper diets, and the various options that are available for the treatment, care and feeding of the nearly 90 million dogs here in the U.S. that provide joy, love and comfort in our daily lives. What you will learn from this book: Call of the Wild- The History of Canine Nutrition Domestication and the Modern Diet What Did My Dog Just Eat? Commercial Food VS People Food VS Biscuits and Treats Obesity- most common canine health. Dog food related allergies. Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders- Explained Dental Disease Much more!

Download or read book Improving Food Safety Through a One Health Approach written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization of the food supply has created conditions favorable for the emergence, reemergence, and spread of food-borne pathogens-compounding the challenge of anticipating, detecting, and effectively responding to food-borne threats to health. In the United States, food-borne agents affect 1 out of 6 individuals and cause approximately 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths each year. This figure likely represents just the tip of the iceberg, because it fails to account for the broad array of food-borne illnesses or for their wide-ranging repercussions for consumers, government, and the food industry-both domestically and internationally. A One Health approach to food safety may hold the promise of harnessing and integrating the expertise and resources from across the spectrum of multiple health domains including the human and veterinary medical and plant pathology communities with those of the wildlife and aquatic health and ecology communities. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop on December 13 and 14, 2011 that examined issues critical to the protection of the nation's food supply. The workshop explored existing knowledge and unanswered questions on the nature and extent of food-borne threats to health. Participants discussed the globalization of the U.S. food supply and the burden of illness associated with foodborne threats to health; considered the spectrum of food-borne threats as well as illustrative case studies; reviewed existing research, policies, and practices to prevent and mitigate foodborne threats; and, identified opportunities to reduce future threats to the nation's food supply through the use of a "One Health" approach to food safety. Improving Food Safety Through a One Health Approach: Workshop Summary covers the events of the workshop and explains the recommendations for future related workshops.

Download or read book Poultry and Pig Nutrition written by Wouter H. Hendriks and published by Brill Wageningen Academic. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disturbances in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract caused by internal and external influences can cause large economic losses in both the pig and poultry industries. Traditionally, diseases and conditions of the GI tract that can cause losses have been controlled by antimicrobial compounds administered in the feed and (or) water, such as antibiotics, coccidiostats, zootechnical feed additives and trace elements such as zinc and copper. However, legislation and rulings in various parts of the world coupled with a growing sentiment to reduce the use of these compounds in the intensive livestock industries have caused a reassessment of measures to influence GI tract structure and function ('gut health'), and have caused unparalleled interest in alternative strategies (genetic, dietary, management, environmental) to effectively manage the GI tract under conditions of external and internal challenge. Despite the wide array of products and strategies available to the pig and poultry industries that influence 'gut health', a term in itself that is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, it is important that the industries continue to investigate and understand the underpinning sciences that influence GI tract structure and function, especially at critical life stages. Ultimately, the cost-benefit of adopting such practices to influence 'gut health' requires consideration.
