The National School Dimoseias Health (ECHR) has to present the following:
Here you can see the "Reply from E.S.D.Y. for the issue of raw food diet."
Scientific quoit of Vetmenow.gr has done a literature review on
by administering raw food in dogs as follows:
Although there is, at present, no objective study harmful or beneficial to supply raw feed dog owners should be as careful as to the management and preparation conditions such foods as are the foods that they consume.
Heavy reliance on homemade raw or processed food, when possible, should be completed in accordance with the rules of hygiene and welfare and always under the expert guidance of a veterinarian nutritionist.
Finally, it is recommended not to feed on raw food animals whose owners suffer from diseases that cause anosokatastoli as there is an increased risk of contamination with Salmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli and many other microorganisms. The administration of uncooked food to the dog for some it is a way of life, while for others it is a red flag. The truth is that none of these attitudes is not supported by scientific studies.
Why is widespread and what risks they pose?
Nevertheless, the concern of many animal owners about the content of manufactured foods trade and the growing public interest in more natural or holistic lifestyles has caused a rapid increase administration brute food of animal origin in pets.
This growth poses many health risks leading some of the largest organizations of public health in the US version communications discourage administering brute food of animal origin in pets.
Owners who choose to provide their dog raw food must be aware of the management of hygiene rules
such food while good is not dogmatically insist on their animal's exclusive diet raw food if you realize that the animal does not tolerate.
The exclusive diet of the animal with homemade food either raw or cooked should be done under the guidance of nutritionist veterinarian specialty there is, at present, in Greece (www.acvn.org).
The feeding dogs raw meat began dogs racing in North America and Australia. In these animals the raw food is used as a rich source of protein but be their sole source of nutrition. In recent years this dietary habit adopted by many animal owners in Europe.
Proponents of this theory argue that raw food offers the animal more energy and nutrients it needs, protect the health and makes resistant to several diseases.
Scientific facts
In the only study on the health of animals fed with raw food, although statistically weak (Level 4 evidence), showed that 98.7% of dog owners and 98.5% of cat owners who fed their animals with raw food were satisfied with the health of the animal. But less than 3% of the owners fed their animals exclusively with raw food (BARF - BiologicallyAppropriateRawFood).
The hygiene of the feed and the possibility of transmitting diseases to animals studied recently and conclusions, although weak, raising the need for more extensive and detailed research.
Although proponents of raw food argue that animals are inherently protected from pathogens in humans germs like Salmonellaspp, there are several references to international serious animal disease literature from oposSalmonellaspp enteropathogenic bacteria, Toxoplasmagondii and Yersiniaenterocolitica.
During an investigation of commercial frozen raw foods in North America, 60% of food isolated Escherichia. coli, from 7,1% Salmonellaenterica and from 2,1% Cryptosporidiumspp. In another study that took place in Canada found that 20% of commercial raw foods for dogs and cats containing Salmonella while another 21% of commercial frozen food was positive in Salmonella. 67% of feed of the latest research contained chicken.
Only 33% of dry commercial foods and 8% of canned isolated EscherichiaColi.
Salmonellaenterica not isolated from any commercial processed food.
Although there is, at present, no objective study harmful or beneficial to supply raw feed dog owners should be as careful as to the management and preparation conditions such foods as are the foods that they consume.
Dogs and cats can seriously afflicted by Salmonellosis and all other enteropathogenic bacteria.
The bacteria are not destroyed in the saliva by the enzyme lysozyme (which the man has), as many claim, and the time in which the food needs to be expelled from the body has nothing to do with the infection of the animal. Furthermore shortly after the animal feed, defecate food you ate in previous meals and not the food you just ate so the assertion that the food remains very short time in the digestive tract and can not keep from infecting organism is completely unfounded.
If your pet develops gastric or intestinal problems with raw food is good not to wait until the "accustomed".
The infection with enteropathogenic bacteria often manifests as soft stools with mucus and frequent bowel movements thus passing unnoticed by most dog owners.
Even such mild enteritis is likely to prevent the nutrient uptake of food from the small intestine resulting in malnutrition of the animal.
In one study it was found that the 41 Greyhounds exhibiting gastroenteritis after taking raw food, faeces of 31 Salmonella and was isolated in 16 of them the strain of the bacteria was identical to that isolated from the crude feed. Only 6 out of 35 Greyhounds who ate raw food found Salmonella in feces.
Finally, the claim that the germs and parasites are part of nature and therefore do not be afraid to contact our animal with what is true only half.
Germs and parasites are actually part of nature, pathogenic microbes as parasites cause infections that can not only affect our animal and be transmitted through this with us.
Also, the claim that animals can eat off the ground without being impaired by infectious agents is untrue.
Animals apoparasitonontai every 3-6 months just because eating from the soil affected by endoparasites which apart from that caused by mild to severe gastroenteritis, can be transmitted to humans.
Heavy reliance on homemade raw or processed food, when possible, should be completed in accordance with the rules of hygiene and welfare and always under the expert guidance of a veterinarian nutritionist (http://www.acvn.org/).
Finally, it is recommended not to feed on raw food animals whose owners suffer from diseases that cause anaosokatastoli as there is an increased risk of contamination with Salmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichiacolikai many other microorganisms.
Pathogenic microorganisms which may be found in raw meat is: Campylobacterspp., Enterococcusspp., Escherichiaspp., Staphylococcusaureus, Salmonellaspp., Cryptosporidiumspp., Echinococcusspp., Giardialamblia, Neosporacanincum, Toxoplasmagondii.
Announcements health organizations
With the continued growth in popularity of administration brute food, many prominent animal health organizations have taken an official position against its use.
The AmericanAnimalHospitalAssociation (AAHA) published a statement on the raw protein diets in August 2012: "The administration of uncooked protein foods to animals does not apply anymore only each individual animal but has become a bigger social issue. For this reason the AAHA can no longer support or proposes to provide raw protein foods to pets. "
The American Association of cat vets (AAFP) and the National Association of Public Health of US veterinarians (NASPHV) adopted the Declaration of AAHA.
The AmericanVeterinaryMedicalAssociation (AVMA) issued its own policy for "Raw or poorly cooked protein foods for the dog Ms. cat" in August 2012: "The AVMA discourages administration of protein foods of animal origin as torfi in the dog and cat if food has been treated to eliminate pathogens as the use of such foods carries the risk of disease of dogs, cats and humans.
The FDA announced the following statement in May 2004 which amended in November of the same year: "OFDA does not believe that the use of raw meat as food for animals is consistent with the protection of public health from serious risks, especially when these foods come within the households for the purpose of feeding pets. "
The council parasitology US pet (www.capcvet.org) issued distress signal on the granting raw foods to pets. In the announcement reported all parasites from which animals can become infected with the granting raw foods and recommended the use of cooked food and fresh water as a way of reducing animal chances of infection with zoonotic diseases can be transmitted to humans.
The PetPartners program, formerly known as DeltaSociety is a national US organization that educates and controls the animal owners and their animals. Animals controls used for treatment and project supply in hospitals, schools and other centers. From June 30, 2010 the Board of the organization decided that "animals fed raw meat will not participate in the treatment program of PetPartners". Animals should not be consumed raw food for at least four weeks before being allowed to participate again in the program.
