Review fibre function and benefits.

The systemic health of animals and maintenance of GI tract homeostasis heavily relies on influences from dietary fibre. The primary roles of dietary fibre in the GI tract include physically altering the digesta, modulating appetite and satiety, regulating digestion, and acting as a microbial energy source through fermentation. In this webinar, Dr. Adam Rudinsky will review fibre function and benefits, reporting in pet foods, the clinical utility of modifying fibre in dogs and cats with GI disease, and strategies to identify and manage fibre-responsive GI patients.

This webinar was originally produced by Clinician's Brief with sponsorship by Hill's Pet Nutrition.
