Companion Animal Anti-Aging Food Composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Companion animals face age-related conditions such as muscle deterioration, kidney health decline, inappropriate inflammatory responses, and oxidative damage, which are not effectively addressed by existing treatments, leading to premature aging and reduced longevity.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising a protein source (chicken, pea protein concentrate, or corn gluten meal), a carbohydrate source (brown rice or oat groats), and a vegetable source (beet pulp, tomato pomace, or broccoli powder) is administered to companion animals to improve health outcomes, including lean body mass, kidney function, and oxidative defenses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional pet food compositions are used, then basic nutritional needs are met, but age-related conditions such as muscle deterioration, kidney health decline, and oxidative damage are not effectively addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by formulating a pet food composition that integrates multiple functional ingredients targeting different age-related conditions simultaneously. The composition includes protein sources for muscle maintenance, antioxidants for oxidative damage prevention, and kidney-supporting nutrients, creating a synergistic composite that addresses multiple health issues in one formulation rather than using separate treatments for each condition.
2Reliability
If targeted treatments for specific age-related conditions are implemented, then health outcomes for individual conditions improve, but overall management becomes more complex and requires multiple interventions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by designing a single pet food composition that performs multiple health functions simultaneously. The formulation is engineered to provide muscle support through protein, kidney protection through specific nutrients, antioxidant defense against oxidative damage, and anti-inflammatory effects, allowing one product to replace multiple condition-specific treatments and simplify overall health management for aging pets.

AI summary
The present invention encompasses compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of age related conditions in animals, particularly in non human companion animals, in need thereof. The methods for treating or preventing an age-related condition in an animal in need thereof, comprise administering to the animal an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one of a protein source, a carbohydrate source, and a vegetable source, or a combination of two or more thereof. In this method, the protein source is selected from the group consisting of chicken, pea protein concentrate, corn gluten meal, and combinations thereof; the carbohydrate source is selected from the group consisting of brown rice, oat groats, and combinations thereof, and the vegetable source is selected from the group consisting of beet pulp, tomato pomace, broccoli powder and combinations thereof.
