Comparison of mineral content in dog foods available in the Czech Republic dog food market

Original language description

The main intent of this study was to analyze the contents of selected minerals in dry complete for dogs which are available within the Czech Republic dog food market. The outcomes were compared amidst themselves as well as to current guidelines which are declared by the European Pet Food Industry Federation 2018 and the Association of American Feed Control Officials 2014. Two accessible types of foods were selected ? those grain containing, and those without any grain content. Samples were divided into two groups of twenty. Each group contained samples from five distinct manufacturers. Samples were also classified according to a dog?s life stage (puppy, puppy large breed, adult, and senior). Chemical analysis was performed to assess the amounts of selected minerals, and sodium chloride. The amount of phosphorus was analyzed following the CSN 46 7092?11 and contents of other selected minerals were assessed utilizing the CSN EN ISO 6869. To evaluate the volume of sodium chloride we used the Volhard?s Method of Argentometric Titration. The statistical evaluation of results proved differences in observed nutritional parameters in both groups. In the case of macroelements, the volume of magnesium was statistical very significant and the content of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium was not statistically significant. Concerning microelements, the analyses demonstrated highly significant statistical differences in the volume of iron, statistically significant outcome in copper and statistically nonsignificant in manganese, zinc, and sodium chloride. The majority of results, however, corresponded to the recommendations.
