The digestive health of pets is a key factor in promoting their overall well-being. A balanced gastrointestinal system not only improves nutrient absorption, but also strengthens natural defenses and contributes to a more active and healthy life. That’s why we incorporate functional ingredients such as prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) into all Danna Pet Food recipes, which are essential allies in ensuring this balance.
These are functional fibers that reach the intestine without being broken down by digestive enzymes, acting as “food” for beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
This promotes their growth and activity, contributing to a healthy balance of the intestinal microbiota. MOS also help prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the intestinal walls and strengthen the body’s natural defenses.
In which foods are they found?
FOS are naturally obtained from fiber-rich foods such as chicory root or pulp, beets, bananas, barley, and other vegetables. MOS, on the other hand, are usually extracted from brewer’s yeast or dried yeast.
Formulating pet food with these prebiotic ingredients not only provides quality fiber, but also has important benefits for pets, such as:
- Strengthens digestive health. They facilitate the fermentation of fiber in the large intestine and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, which translates into improved digestion, greater nutrient absorption, and more regular bowel movements.
- Promotes balanced gut flora. FOS and MOS stimulate the proliferation of good bacteria, which helps limit the growth of harmful bacteria and strengthens the digestive system’s natural barriers.
- Strengthens the immune system. Immune system activity is linked to intestinal health. By improving microbial balance, prebiotics help strengthen the natural defenses of dogs and cats, reducing the occurrence of infections and gastrointestinal problems.
- Improves stool quality. Stools are firmer and more regular, a sign of a healthy digestive system. This is especially important for pets with sensitive stomachs or a tendency to diarrhea, constipation, or flatulence.
