Abstract

Dietary format, and its role in pet nutrition, is of interest to pet food manufacturers and pet owners alike. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of pre- and post-weaning diets (kibbled or canned) on the composition and function of faecal microbiota in the domestic cat by shotgun metagenomic sequencing and gene taxonomic and functional assignment using MG-RAST. Post-weaning diet had a dramatic effect on community composition; 147 of the 195 bacterial species identified had significantly different mean relative abundances between kittens fed kibbled and canned diets. The kittens fed kibbled diets had relatively higher abundances of Lactobacillus (>100-fold), Bifidobacterium (>100-fold), and Collinsella (>9-fold) than kittens fed canned diets. There were relatively few differences in the predicted microbiome functions associated with the pre-weaning diet. Post-weaning diet affected the abundance of functional gene groups. Genes involved in vitamin biosynthesis, metabolism, and transport, were significantly enriched in the metagenomes of kittens fed the canned diet. The impact of post-weaning diet on the metagenome in terms of vitamin biosynthesis functions suggests that modulation of the microbiome function through diet may be an important avenue for improving the nutrition of companion animals.

Abstract

Case Description-An 8-month-old crossbred dog was evaluated because of an oronasal fistula following 2 previous attempts to surgically correct a secondary palate defect. Clinical Findings-Three months after initial evaluation and successful closure of the soft palate section of the secondary palate defect via 2 surgeries, an oronasal fistula was present. The oronasal fistula was predominantly right sided, involving the rostral third of the hard palate and, at the widest aspect, spanning the transverse palate at the level of the maxillary canine teeth. Treatment and Outcome-Following CT of the rostral aspect of the skull, rapid prototyping technology was used to create a stereolithographic model of the skull, allowing fabrication of a customized titanium plate for intranasal stenting. The titanium plate was inserted via a rostral nasal approach and secured rostrally with 1.5-mm screws and caudally with 2.4-mm screws from the nasal bridge. An oronasal fistula formed laterally at the edge of the plate, but bonding of a dental glass ionomer product resulted in successful resolution of the fistula. Clinical Relevance-Results suggested that rapid prototyping and creation of customized implants may provide an option for the management of large or nonreconstructible oronasal defects in dogs.
