Canine Nutrition and Metabolism Solution

Dogs have long been trusted companions and valued as important research subjects, in addition to being beloved pets of mankind. Their significance in the field of animal nutrition research lies in their contribution to understanding canine nutrition and metabolism. BioVenic offers comprehensive solutions for canine nutrition and metabolism, considering factors such as age, weight, activity level, and health status. Our range of services include canine feed development, canine nutrigenomics research, investigation into canine nutrition and metabolic mechanisms, and solutions for nutritional and metabolic disorders in dogs.

Nutrigenomics Solution for Canine Nutrition and Metabolism

Nutrients influence gene expression in dogs via various metabolic pathways. Conversely, the canine genome affects their nutritional metabolism, dietary requirements, allergies, and susceptibility to metabolic diseases. Leveraging techniques such as high-throughput sequencing, chromatography, and mass spectrometry, our technical team has developed a series of omics solutions, including metabolomics, proteomics, microbiomics, and transcriptomics. Through these omics methods, our nutrigenomics solution assists in identifying metabolic markers, gastrointestinal microbiome composition, protein expression levels, and other aspects of canine nutrition and genomic interactions. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of the health status of dogs and the impact of dietary interventions, while also aiding in biomarker discovery.

Canine Nutrition and Metabolism Mechanism Study

Gaining insights into the mechanisms underlying canine nutrition and metabolism not only aids in the development of dog food and supplements but also deepens our comprehension of canine physiology, which, in turn, can inform human nutritional metabolism. By employing in vivo and in vitro models and conducting nutritional and metabolic analyses, we offer solutions for studying the mechanisms of canine nutrition and metabolism.

In vitro models used in the study of canine nutrition and metabolic mechanisms include:

Research topics within in vivo studies on canine nutrition and metabolic mechanisms cover a range of areas, including:

Applications of Canine Nutrition and Metabolism Solution

Our Canine Nutrition and Metabolism Solutions find relevance in the study of dogs with different breeds, growth stages, nutritional requirements, and physiological or pathological conditions. Here are some application scenarios:

• Customized dog nutrition research and development
  Considering the genetic variations among different dog breeds, including their nutritional allergies, digestion capabilities, and metabolic functions, we utilize genetic testing and animal experiments to gain insights into allergic risks and develop tailor-made dog feeds.
• Development of diagnostic methods
  By analyzing genetic, metabolomic, and microbiomics data associated with canine nutritional metabolic diseases, we identify significant biomarkers, aiding in the establishment of diagnostic standards and development of diagnostic methods.
• Prevention and treatment of canine metabolic diseases
  Using in vivo and in vitro models, we study the physiological and pathological mechanisms of canine nutritional metabolism. Our services provide novel insights for the development of preventive methods and therapies for canine metabolic diseases.
