Futtermedicus Optiballast Enteral

Dietary fiber mixture for dogs and cats

  • for excessively soft or hard stools
  • Mixture of cellulose, psyllium husks and pectin
  • suitable for ready-made feed and home-cooked rations

Optiballast Enteral has a prebiotic effect and supports the development of a healthy microbiome in dogs and cats! It consists of 100 % plant fibers cellulose, psyllium and pectin. All three are considered dietary fibers. Dogs and cats have no endogenous enzymes to break down dietary fiber. However, pectin can be broken down by intestinal bacteria in the large intestine, producing volatile fatty acids. The fatty acids formed are partially absorbed via the colon mucosa and have a positive effect on the intestinal mucosa. This leads to faster regeneration of the intestinal cells.

Effects:

  • Prebiotic as food for the good bacteria in the intestine; these bacteria can spread and undesirable bacteria in the intestine are displaced
  • Ensures regeneration of the intestinal mucosa cells, which can use the short-chain fatty acids as an energy source
  • Relieves the kidneys and liver indirectly by ensuring that the intestinal contents are acidified and instead of ammonia (waste product of protein digestion), more ammonium is formed, which can no longer be absorbed into the bloodstream but is excreted directly in the faeces

The amount should be slowly phased in, as the intestinal bacteria must first get used to absorbing the fibers. If the amount fed is initially too high, this can otherwise lead to undesirable side effects such as diarrhea, as the short-chain fatty acids formed can cause osmotic diarrhea if they are present in the gastrointestinal tract to an increased extent. The powder should be mixed well into the ration and the amount can be increased to a maximum of 1 g/kg body weight per day. When the stool becomes softer, the individual limit has been reached and the amount should be reduced again by ½ teaspoon.
