Pozycja Open Access Arthrospira - Nutritional Value, Health-promoting Properties and Possible Use as an Additive in Dog Nutrition. A Review(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2023) Kazimierska, Katarzyna; Kępińska-Pacelik, Jagoda; Biel, Wioletta; West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Szczecin, Poland; West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Szczecin, Poland; West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Szczecin, PolandArthrospira (Arthrospira platensis, trade name spirulina) is commonly called “green meat” due to its high protein content (up to about 80% of dry matter). It is used in many countries as an additive in human and animal nutrition because of its high nutritional value. Arthrospira protein is of high quality due to the optimal composition of exogenous amino acids. Additionally, Arthrospira is a good source of fatty acids (including GLA, EPA, and DHA). It is used in formulas for complete and complementary pet foods. It can be a valuable source of complete protein for dogs. Its addition can significantly delay the process of lipid oxidation and reduce the number of undesirable microorganisms in the product. The pro-health properties of Arthrospira have been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies, including its effects on hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, cardiovascular diseases, anemia, inflammatory diseases, cancer, and viral infections. The aim of this study was to characterize the nutritional values, health-promoting properties and the possibility of using Arthrospira as an additive in dog nutrition, based on a review of scientific literature.Pozycja Open Access Feeding of Sporting Dogs. Part I. Energy, Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates Requirements(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2020) Kazimierska, Katarzyna; Biel, Wioletta; Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Division of Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Poland; Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Division of Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, PolandSporting dogs belong to a large group of dogs that perform a specific job for a man. The type of performed work can be divided according to its frequency, intensity and duration. The aim of the study was to characterize the nutrition of sporting dogs, focusing on energy requirement and demand for energy-providing nutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates). Proper nutrition is one of the most important factors affecting the dog's athletic performance. The objective of proper nutrition for training dogs is to provide the highest quality of energy in appropriate amount. Food balance is achieved when the supplied nutrients enable the body to maintain the proper functioning of all tissues and none of the ingredients are in excess or deficiency.Pozycja Open Access Feeding of Sporting Dogs. Part II. Minerals, Vitamins and Functional Additives Requirements(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2020) Kazimierska, Katarzyna; Biel, Wioletta; Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Division of Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Poland; Department of Monogastric Animal Sciences, Division of Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, PolandSporting dog owner should realize that proper nutrition is one of the most important factors influencing the sports results achieved by the dog. In addition to the increased demand for energy and basic nutrients, particular attention should be paid to the adequate supply of vitamins and minerals, as well as dietary supplements. Therefore, the aim of the study was to characterize the importance of minerals, vitamins and functional additives in the nutrition of sporting dogs. The significant elements in the sporting dogs nutrition are calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and magnesium. Micronutrients such as copper, iron, manganese, selenium and zinc are also very important. Of the vitamins in the sporting dogs nutrition, vitamins with antioxidant properties (vitamin E, vitamin C) are crucial, as well as vitamin D and B-group vitamins. Moreover, the diet of a sporting dog can also be enriched with functional additives that support the function of joints, muscles and circulatory system, as well as plants with an adaptogenic effect that improve the dog's immunity. Selecting the right amounts of individual additives so they fulfill their planned functions and are completely safe may be a problem. Since it should be remembered that both the deficiency and the excess of nutrients can be dangerous for the body.
