The Pet Food Science Podcast Show

However crucial it may be to understand the digestibility of pet food when formulating a diet, the various available techniques for measuring it can make determining the best approach a challenge. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Guido Bosch, an Assistant Professor at Wageningen University and a leading figure in comparative nutrition. His research delves into the connections between pet physiology and nutritional ecology by combining studies on nutrition, behavioral patterns, and innovative

Cutting-edge research and advanced technologies have transformed pet nutrition. Scientists and veterinarians now have valuable insights into how to tailor nutrition to meet specific needs by exploring pet metabolism, genetics, and dietary preferences. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ronald Corbee, a veterinarian nutritionist grounded in academic research and practical experience who has contributed a wealth of valuable research to the pet nutrition community, addressing various issues from vitamin

Understanding the importance of protein and amino acid analysis, digestibility, and bioavailability in pet nutrition is essential. Protein plays a vital role in the support of the overall health and bodily functions of pets; and amino acid analysis allows us to evaluate the quality and composition of proteins in pet food, ensuring they meet specific nutritional requirements. In our discussion, Dr. Julia Pezzali and I delve into the significance of understanding amino acid and protein composition in

Proper nutrition is essential for pets to maintain a high quality of life because it supports their overall health, vitality, and well-being. However, it is important to acknowledge that commercial pet foods may not always meet their specific needs, especially when it comes to aging or sick pets. To gain deep insights into this matter, I have a discussion with Dr. Jean Hall, who is an esteemed expert in chronic kidney disease, nutrition, and immunology of pets. Our conversation addresses the concept

When it comes to pet nutrition, it's important to consider more than just food composition. Considering that interconnected factors such as meal frequency, timing, and the environment also have a significant impact on the metabolism of the animals, achieving flexibility in feeding, promoting satiety, and providing adequate amino acids are all crucial for optimizing pet health. To shed light on these matters, I talk to Dr. Anna Shoveller, who is not only our guest for this episode, but also our

Obesity in pets has become a growing concern in recent years. Just like in humans, excess weight can lead to a range of health issues and hinder the overall well-being of petss: from joint problems to cardiovascular complications, obesity can significantly impact their quality of life. To discuss the implications of this topic, I talk with Dr. Angela Rollins, an expert in the nutritional management of responsive diseases in dogs and cats, including obesity, chronic gastrointestinal disease, and
