The checked date records when EP inspected or captured the source. It does not establish when the recipe changed. Calculations require verified values with a compatible basis and qualifiers.

Additional recorded source captures

A source capture records the information available within that scope. It does not by itself complete label verification or establish product efficacy.

FOS and MOS in dogs: digestion, microbes and immune markers

One study, 2 reviewed ingredient or arm connection(s).

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS); arm fos-supplement

Declared occurrence: FOS (96 mg/kg). Tested preparation: FOS supplied at 1 g per feeding, twice daily.. Population: Four adult female dogs with ileal cannulas; 14-day periods..

Study dose: 1 g per feeding, twice daily. Oral feeding supplement.. Duration: 14-day periods.. Comparator: The same kibble without these supplements..

Measured outcome: Digestibility, microbial populations, protein-breakdown products, and immune indices.. Finding within this study: FOS-containing treatments lowered faecal indoles and phenols. Combined FOS/MOS increased ileal IgA versus control; several reported effects were only trends.

Applicability and limitations: Very small, surgically instrumented population; short periods and multiple surrogate outcomes. Related papers may share experiments. Only for published UK dog products whose active formulation has a verified FOS ingredient line. This study tested a separate FOS supplement in four cannulated adult female dogs; it is ingredient context, not a finished-product or life-stage test. Preparation equivalence is not established by this declaration. Product inclusion quantity is not declared. A declared ingredient amount does not establish intake of the study dose. The formulation declaration is disputed or awaits label verification.

Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS); arm mos-supplement

Declared occurrence: MOS (24 mg/kg). Tested preparation: MOS supplied at 1 g per feeding, twice daily.. Population: Four adult female dogs with ileal cannulas; 14-day periods..

Study dose: 1 g per feeding, twice daily. Oral feeding supplement.. Duration: 14-day periods.. Comparator: The same kibble without these supplements..

Measured outcome: Digestibility, microbial populations, protein-breakdown products, and immune indices.. Finding within this study: MOS changed some immune and microbial measures; several reported effects were only trends. Combined FOS/MOS increased ileal IgA versus control.

Applicability and limitations: Very small, surgically instrumented population; short periods and multiple surrogate outcomes. Related papers may share experiments. Only for published UK dog products whose active formulation has a verified MOS ingredient line. This study tested a separate MOS supplement in four cannulated adult female dogs; it is ingredient context, not a finished-product or life-stage test. Preparation equivalence is not established by this declaration. Product inclusion quantity is not declared. A declared ingredient amount does not establish intake of the study dose.

Protein level changes the response to FOS in dogs

One study, 1 reviewed ingredient or arm connection(s).

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS); arm fos-in-protein-factorial

Declared occurrence: FOS (96 mg/kg). Tested preparation: Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) added to lower- and higher-protein foods; inclusion level not reported in the reviewed abstract.. Population: 12 healthy adult dogs in a replicated four-treatment Latin square..

Study dose: Not reported in the reviewed abstract. Food inclusion; amount not reported.. Duration: 28-day periods with washouts.. Comparator: Corresponding unsupplemented foods..

Measured outcome: Faecal fermentation, microbes, and apparent digestibility.. Finding within this study: Higher protein and FOS each increased faecal ammonia. FOS increased apparent digestibility of several minerals; protein level modified some FOS effects, including bifidobacteria and protein digestibility.

Applicability and limitations: Faecal measurements are surrogate outcomes. Small healthy population; no disease-treatment endpoint. Only for published UK dog products whose active formulation has a verified FOS ingredient line. The study tested FOS in different protein diets in healthy adult dogs; it is ingredient context, not a finished-product or life-stage test. Preparation equivalence is not established by this declaration. Product inclusion quantity is not declared. A declared ingredient amount does not establish intake of the study dose. The formulation declaration is disputed or awaits label verification.
