Dogoteka LactoAdapt Puppy supplements for puppies and kittens, promotes physiological intestinal function and strengthens immune protection, 15 g

Complementary food in the form of a paste with a dosing syringe for puppies and kittens, designed to support during the weaning period. Stimulates the physiological function of the intestine and strengthens the immune system. Promotes the balance of intestinal flora and helps strengthen the immune defense of puppies and kittens, useful in all cases when babies need additional support for physiological growth from birth to the end of weaning.

Also useful:

• when taking antibiotics,
• when changing food (switching from breast milk to artificial or solid food),
• eating disorders,
• feeding disorders,
• underweight,
• intoxications

Colostrum, commonly called the first milk, is a fluid produced by the mammary gland. In dogs, it is secreted two days after birth.

It is a food that contains high levels of antibodies, proteins, and essential nutrients that help puppies develop their immune system and get the nutrients they need to survive in the early days. For babies, the risk of mortality during the neonatal stage can be high. Therefore, it is very important to receive colostrum from the mother. In some cases, when the mother is unable to provide enough to ensure the survival of the newborn, it is possible to intervene by giving them colostrum of various origins.

CATTLE FOR DOGS AND CATS

Ideally, the newborn will suckle from the mother's nipple to obtain colostrum for the first few days after birth.

Bovine colostrum is the most commonly used replacement for dogs because it contains a high concentration of immunoglobulins and other important nutrients that can help maintain the health of puppies and weak animals.

Benefits of bovine colostrum for dogs and cats:

• increased immune resistance;
• stimulation of growth and development of puppies and kittens;

Colostrum is a source of antibodies, carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, fats and minerals.

PREBIOTICS

TRIO OF PREBIOTIC FIBERS:

• FRUIT OLIGOSACCHARIDES (FOS)
• Inulin
• Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) from brewer's yeast

FOS, MOS and INULIN are dietary fibers, i.e. indigestible carbohydrates that are undoubtedly important in both human and animal nutrition.

Chemically, FOS and inulin are fructans (carbohydrates made up of repeating fructose units) with a short chain (FOS) and a long chain (INULIN), and are especially common in foods such as chicory and Jerusalem artichoke.

MOS are always dietary fibers, but are made up of mannose repeats and are mainly derived from yeast walls.

All three substances act as prebiotics, i.e. they can provide health benefits by regulating the gut microbiota, i.e. the collection of millions of microorganisms that are common in the intestinal tract of various mammals.

These microorganisms have a positive and vital effect on the health of the host. ((Suchodolski, 2011)).

Indeed, there are several studies that consistently highlight the symbiosis between health maintenance and gut microbiota balance.

How do prebiotic fibers positively affect the microbiota?

Humans and other mammals, including dogs and cats, do not have all the enzymes needed to break down plant fibers (such as fructo-oligosaccharides and inulin) in the gut (Flint HJ, 2012), so when they are consumed and enter the small intestine, they are not digested but fermented by bacteria in the colonic microbiota, thereby benefiting certain groups of beneficial bacteria (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium).

Probiotics:

• LACTOBACILLUS HELVETICUS
• LACTOBACILLUS PARACASEI

What are probiotics? In the feed sector, they are so-called zootechnical additives that stabilize the intestinal flora, i.e. microorganisms that, when administered to animals, have a positive effect on their intestinal flora; (Europeo, 2003) they can actually colonize the intestine of the host animal, exerting a beneficial effect on it.

The application of probiotic microorganisms to the intestinal mucosa of the host is considered a critical step for colonization and subsequent interaction with the host epithelium and its immune system. (Mohsen Hanifeh, 2021).
