Duas formulações isonutritivas foram usadas em dois ensaios: FVF (28,9% de FVF, casca de soja como fonte de fibra) e dieta a base de FS (29,9% de FS). No experimento A, a dieta FS foi desdobrada em três dietas: FS-0, sem adição de enzimas; FS-1, 7.500U/kg de protease e 45U/kg de celulase; FS-2, 15.000U/kg de protease e 90U/kg de celulase, ambas adicionadas por cobertura após a extrusão. No experimento B, a dieta FS foi desdobrada em três dietas: FS-0, FS-1,140U/kg de protease, 8U/kg de celulase, 800U/kg de pectinase, 60U/kg de fitase, 40U/kg de betaglucanase e 20U/kg de xilanase; FS-2, 700U/kg de protease, 40U/kg de celulase, 4000U/kg de pectinase, 300U/kg de fitase, 200U/kg de betaglucanase e 100U/kg de xilanase, ambas adicionadas por cobertura após a extrusão. Cada experimento seguiu um delineamento em blocos com dois blocos de 12 cães beagle sadios e seis cães por dieta. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadoas por contrastes ortogonais e polinomiais (p<0,05). Em ambos os experimentos, a digestibilidade dos nutrientes e a energia metabolizável não diferiram entre as dietas (p>0,05). O uso de FS resultou em aumento da umidade fecal e da produção fecal (p<0,05). Altas concentrações de acetato, propionato e lactato e menor quantidade de amônia foram encontrados nas fezes de cães alimentados com FS (p<0,05). No experimento B, a adição de enzimas aumentou a concentração fecal de acetato, propionato e AGCC totais (p<0,05)... / Soybean meal (SBM) was evaluated as a protein substitute of poultry byproduct meal (PM) in extruded dog foods, as well the effects of exogenous enzymes supplementation on nutrient digestibility, fermentation end products formation, fecal microbiota composition and postprandial urea response. Two kibble isonutritive diets were used in two trials: PM based diet (28,9% of PM; soybean hulls as a fiber source); SBM based diet (29,9% of SBM). On experiment 1, the SBM diet was unfolded into three diets: SBM-0, without enzyme addition; SBM-1, covered after extrusion with 7,500Uprotease/kg and 45Ucelulase/kg; SBM-2, covered with 15,000Uprotease/kg and 90Ucelulase/kg. On experiment 2, the SBM diet was unfolded into three diets: SBM-0; SBM-1, covered with 140Uprotease/kg; 8Ucellulase/kg, 800Upectinase/kg, 60Uphytase/kg, 40Ubetaglucanase/kg and 20Uxylanase/kg; SMB-2, covered with 700Uprotease/kg, 40Ucellulase/kg, 4000Upectinase/kg, 300Uphytase/kg, 200U betaglucanase/kg and 100Uxylanase/kg. Each experiment followed a block design with two blocks of 12 health beagles, and 6 dogs per diet. Data was submitted to analysis of variance and means compared by orthogonal and polynomial contrasts (P<0.05). In both experiments, digestibility of nutrients and metabolizable energy did not differ between diets (P>0.05). The use of SBM resulted in increased faecal moisture and faecal production (P<0.05). High concentration of propionate, acetate and lactate, and lower amounts of ammonia were found in the feces of dogs fed SBM (P<0.05). In experiment 2 the addition of enzymes increased fecal concentration of propionate, acetate and total SCFA (P<0.05). Postprandial urea pick response and area under the curve were higher for dogs fed SBM diets (P<0.05). Soybean meal resulted in low faecal concentrations of total aerobes and total anaerobes (P<0.05) ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The lived experience of pet visitation among residents of long term care facilities

Miller, Marleen L. January 1996 (has links)
Moving into an institutional environment may cause feelings of anxiety, depression, grief or loss in the increasing number of elderly residents in long term care facilities. The lived experience of pet visitation was explored as a possible remedy. This study is significant because findings provide information about intervention strategies to assist residents in comfort and adjustment.Five themes, identified in ten interviews of residents in three midwest long term care facilities, illustrated that pet interaction: (a) contributed a sense of responsibility, environmental control, (b) afforded unconditional caring, companionship, (c) provided a connection with family and home. (d) furnished a sense of identity in the facility community, and (e) provided a sense of being protected within the facility. Evidence supports that pet visitation is a beneficial experience to the residents in long term care facilities. Study results are available for facility administrators as encouragement and justification to establish pet visitation programs. / School of Nursing

An examination of pet ownership among elderly caregivers and how it contributes to their well-being

Fiello, Cynthia Ann 01 January 2002 (has links)
As the older population increases, there is a need for increased support for caregivers most of them older themselves. Owning a pet may providesome of this support. This study looked at caregivers age 55 and older of brain-impaired adults and examined whether or not the social support provided by pets during the caregiving time contributes to their well-being.

Troeteldier gefasiliteerde post traumatiese terapie deur die opvoedkundige sielkundige / Pet facilitated post traumatic therapy by the educational psychologist

Krüger, Deirdré 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie studie handel oor die ontwerp van 'n post traumatiese terapie deur die opvoedkundige sielkundige waar troeteldiere as fasiliteerder ingespan kan word. Dit fokus op getraumatiseerdes wat na afloop van 'n trauma in 'n post traumatiese situasie verkeer, en nie klinies aan die diagnose van post traumatiese stres versteuring voldoen nie. Die ontwerp van die terapie val in vier fases uiteen wat nie noodwendig streng chronologies in terapie hoef te verloop nie. Eerstens is daar die affektiewe fase wat handel oor die bantering van emosies. Tweedens fokus die kognitiewe fase op kognitiewe herstrukturering by die getraumatiseerde en veral die internalisering daarvan. Die fase van voorraadopname maak voorsiening vir die identifisering van psigologiese gestremdhede en sterker modaliteite van die getraumatiseerde. Die kompensatoriese fase handel oor die ontwerp van 'n aksieplan vir die sinvolle voortsetting van die getraumatiseerde se lewe asook inoefeningsaspekte daarvan. Die terapeutiese ontwerp het beslag gekry na 'n uitgebreide literatuurstudie van verskeie terapeutiese skole se post traumatiese terapiee en tegnieke. Oorhoofs word bogenoemde ontwerp in die relasieterapie ingebed. Hierdie terapie le besondere klem op die kompensatoriese fase met die oog op adekwate aktualisering van die getraumatiseerde in sy toekomstige gesitueerdheid. Alhoewel daar 'n uitgebreide beskrywing van troeteldier gefasiliteerde terapie volg, het die navorser slegs sekere getraumatiseerde kliente ge'identifiseer wat sat baat by troeteldier gefasiliteerde terapie. Daar is tydens die studie aandag gegee aan die ontwerp van 'n vraelys wat as operasionele metingsinstrument dien om die omvang van die trauma ten opsigte van die getraumatiseerde se filnksionering, selfgesprekke, belewenis, betekenisgewing, betrokkenheid, seltkonsep, relasies en selfaktualisering te bepaal. Fasiliteerders van die affektiewe fase sluit onder andere soos reeds genoem hierbo, troeteldiere in. Ondersoek is ingestel na die riglyne vir troeteldier gefasiliteerde terapie, en verskeie aspekte soos determinante by die getraumatiseerde vir troeteldier gefasiliteerde terapie, die aard van mens-dier interaksie, risiko's en menslike voorwaardes verbonde aan troeteldier gefasiliteerde terapie, is beskryf Tydens die empiriese ondersoek is gevind dat alhoewel die ontwerp beperkinge het, daar besliste ruimte vir troeteldier gefasiliteerde post traumatiese terapie op Sielkundige Opvoedkunde terrein bestaan / This study deals with the design of a post traumatic therapy that can be administered by the educational psychologist. Pets were used for the first time as facilitators in such a therapy. This therapy was primarily designed for persons in a post traumatic situation after an experienced trauma, who _do not ~fy foc!h<L~!i_ni~_ctl _ cri!~!"ia gf post traumatic _stress disorder. Four phases can be distinguished in the course of the therapy. This doesn't however imply a hierargical order. First of all the affective phase deals with the emotional side of the traumatised person. Secondly cognitive restructuring is taken up in the cognitive phase as well as internalization thereof The third phase of stock taking makes provision for the identification of psychological handicaps and stronger modalities of the traumatised person. A plan of action is developed in the final compensatory phase and it deals with optimal future actualization of the traumatised person. If necessary, opportunity is provided for excercising the newly required skills. This design was developed after extensive literature studies of post traumatic therapies and techniques, and it is embedded in the overall approach of relationship therapy. Strong emphasis is placed on the compensatory phase in view of the traumatised person's adequate future actualization. Although an extensive description of pet fasilitated therapy is given, only certain traumatised clients were identified who will benefit from this therapy. A questionnaire as operational measuring instrument was developed for the purpose of this study. Information as to the traumatised person's functioning, selftalk, experiences, allocation of meaning, involvement, selfconcept, relationship formation and selfactualization can be ascertained via this instrument. One of the facilitators of the affective phase, already mentioned, includes pets. A thorough study into guidelines for pet facilitated therapy, as well as aspects such as determinants of traumatised people as indication for this kind of therapy, the nature of human-animal interaction, risks and human conditions for pet facilitated therapy, was undertaken. The empirical study proved that in spite of limitations of pet facilitated post traumatic therapy, definite opportunity exists in the field of Psychology of Education for this kind of therapy / D.Ed.
