是时候重新考虑NRC和AAFCO关于犬类氨基酸需求的指导原则了吗？.pdf

1、Sarah M.Dickerson,Claire L.Timlin,Fiona B.Mccracken,Craig N.CoonIs It Time to Reconsider NRC and AAFCO Guidelines for Amino Acid Requirements in Dogs?Dogs have an amino acid requirement,not necessarily a protein requirement Limited by the least available nutrient Methionine Lysine High protein foods

2、 not doing any good if the amino acid requirements are not metCurrent State of RequirementsAAFCO is main source referenced for nutrient requirementsMuch of AAFCO data derived from NRC requirementsAAFCO values typically greater than the NRC values to try and account for differences in bioavailability
