Nutritional analysis of commercially available, complete plant- and meat-based dry dog foods in the UK (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Brociek, R., Li, D., Broughton, R., & Gardner, D. Nutritional analysis of commercially available, complete plant- and meat-based dry dog foods in the UK

Background Adoption of a plant-based diet is a popular lifestyle choice for many owners of canine companion animals. Increasingly, owners would like to feed their canine companions a similar diet. A plant-based dietary pattern has been reported to be... Read More about Nutritional analysis of commercially available, complete plant- and meat-based dry dog foods in the UK.

Journal Article
Muleya, M., Li, D., Chiutsi-Phiri, G., Botoman, L., Brameld, J. M., & Salter, A. M. (2023). In vitro determination of the protein quality of maize varieties cultivated in Malawi using the INFOGEST digestion method. Heliyon, 9(9), Article e19797. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19797

There is an urgent need to alleviate protein deficiencies in low-income countries where cereal-based diets dominate. The objective of this study was to use the INFOGEST static digestion method and a recently established analytical workflow to determi...

Influence of the in vivo method and basal dietary ingredients employed in the determination of the amino acid digestibility of wheat distillers dried grains with solubles in broilers (2014)
Journal Article
O'Neill, H. M., White, G. A., Li, D., Bedford, M. R., Htoo, J. K., & Wiseman, J. (2014). Influence of the in vivo method and basal dietary ingredients employed in the determination of the amino acid digestibility of wheat distillers dried grains with solubles in broilers. Poultry Science, 93(5), 1178-1185. https://doi.org/10.3382/ps.2013-03578

As distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) become increasingly available, it is important to determine their nutritional value for precise feed formulation. The accurate determination of digestibility is crucial, and it is known that the methods...
