Problems solved by technology

[0025] Furthermore, as shown in Table 2 above, comparative testing of two pet foods does not allow for the determination of the hypocaloric effect of either of the two foods, since both would be consumed in similar amounts if they had similar palatability levels ( expressed in grams or as a percentage of consumption), even if one is low-calorie and the other is not

preparation example Construction

[0259] In one embodiment, the preparation method according to the present invention at least comprises:

[0260] - performing the selection method as described above, thereby selecting a mixture of candidate pet food ingredients having a palatability effect and a caloric intake reducing effect (in particular a hypocaloric effect or a satiety and not a hypocaloric effect) on the pet; and

[0261] - incorporation of said thus selected mixture of candidate pet food ingredients into a pet food formulation in order to obtain said pet food having a palatability effect and a caloric intake reducing effect for pets.

[0262] Preferably, the candidate pet food ingredient mixture is incorporated into the pet food formulation by inclusion. Optionally, the candidate pet food ingredient mixture is incorporated into the pet food formulation by coating.

[0263] In an optional embodiment, the preparation method according to the present invention at least includes:

[0264] - performing the...

Embodiment 1

[0290] A nutritionally balanced dry food composition (hereinafter referred to as "Control Pet Food A") suitable for consumption by cats was prepared and obtained after the extrusion and drying process. Its metabolizable energy value is 3563Kcal / Kg. Control pet food A is known to be a palatable pet food.

[0291] Experimental pet food 1, a nutritionally balanced dry food suitable for consumption by cats, was prepared and obtained after extrusion and drying process. Its formulation was different from that of Control Pet Food A by adding a satiety agent. The metabolizable energy value of experimental pet food 1 is 3367Kcal / Kg.

[0292] Experimental pet food 2, a nutritionally balanced dry food composition suitable for consumption by cats, was prepared and obtained after the extrusion and drying process. The formulation was different from that of Control Pet Food A and Experimental Pet Food 1 by adding another satiety agent. The metabolizable energy value of experimental pet f...

Embodiment 2

[0306] A nutritionally balanced dry food composition (hereinafter referred to as "control pet food B") suitable for consumption by cats was purchased from the market and obtained after the extrusion and drying process. Control pet food B is marketed as a maintenance pet food for adult cats and is known to be palatable. Its metabolizable energy value is 3738Kcal / Kg.

[0307] Experimental pet food 3, a nutritionally balanced dry food composition suitable for consumption by cats, was purchased from the market and obtained after the extrusion and drying process. This commercially available pet food is recommended for reducing or controlling obesity in cats. Its formulation was different from that of Control Pet Food B. The metabolizable energy value of experimental pet food 3 is 3595Kcal / Kg.

[0308] Feeding trials were conducted with 2 different pet foods in a randomized unary fashion. Each pet food was served in a single bowl in a balanced serving sequence and tested by a pa...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for selecting a petfood having both a palatability effect and a calorie intake reducing effect for pets, said method being based on a specific analysis of data collected in a pet feeding trial. The present invention further provides an automated pet feeding system for use in a pet feeding trial according to such a method, as well as a method for feeding a pet with a petfood having both a palatability effect and a calorie intake reducing effect for pets.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the general technical field of methods for analyzing the behavioral response of pets to pet food. [0002] More specifically, the present invention provides a method for selecting a pet food having a palatability effect and a caloric intake reducing effect for pets, said method being based on specific analysis of data collected in pet feeding trials. [0003] The present invention further provides an automatic pet feeding system for use in pet feeding trials according to the method, and a method for preparing pet food having a palatability effect and a caloric intake reducing effect on pets. Background technique [0004] Various methods and devices for automatic pet management are known. In general, such methods and apparatus are differentiated according to the field (e.g., animal husbandry or the pet food industry) and the goals to be achieved (e.g., managing herds in terms of health and nutrition, or providing a succ...
