RESUMO

Grain-free pet food options abound in the pet food market today, representing more than 40% of available dry dog foods in the United States. There is currently a dearth of information about the factors that contribute to a dog owner's choice of a grain-free dry dog food and if those factors are similar among countries. Therefore, the primary objective of the current survey was to identify the variables that are predictive of a dog owner's choice of a grain-free dry food across North America (Canada and the United States) and Europe (France, the United Kingdom and Germany). The survey consisted of 69 questions, took less than 15 minutes to complete and was distributed virtually via Qualtrics (Qualtrics XM, Utah, USA). A total of 3,298 responses were collected, equally distributed between countries. Multinomial logistic regression was performed in SPSS Statistics (Version 26, IBM Corp, North Castle, New York, USA). Male respondents, people from France, people who ranked the importance of ingredients in a pet food in the lower quartiles and people who do not rotate their dog's diet to provide variety were less likely to select 'no grain' when choosing a pet food. In contrast, people who believe that their dog has a food allergy, follow more than 5 specific dietary routines in their own diet, do not try to include grains in their own diet, get their information about pet food from online resources or pet store staff and look for specific claims on pet food (such as 'no fillers'), were all more likely to select 'no grain' when choosing a pet food. This survey provides insight into the similarities and differences in decision making among dog owners in North America and Europe and should be considered when exploring the effects of grain-free dog foods on canine health and well-being.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to develop a model to estimate the cost of a case of subclinical ketosis (SCK) in Canadian dairy herds. Costs were derived from the default inputs, and included increased clinical disease incidence attributable to SCK, $76; longer time to pregnancy, $57; culling and death in early lactation attributable to SCK, $26; milk production loss, $44. Given these figures, the cost of 1 case of SCK was estimated to be $203. Sensitivity analysis showed that the estimated cost of a case of SCK was most sensitive to the herd-level incidence of SCK and the cost of 1 day open. In conclusion, SCK negatively impacts dairy herds and losses are dependent on the herd-level incidence and factors included in the calculation.


Coût d'un cas d'acétonémie subclinique dans les troupeaux laitiers canadiens. L'objectif de cette étude consistait à développer un modèle pour estimer le coût d'un cas d'acétonémie subclinique (ASC) dans les troupeaux laitiers canadiens. Les coûts ont été dérivés des valeurs par défaut et comprenaient l'incidence accrue de maladie clinique attribuable à l'ASC, 76 $; un délai plus long avant la gestation, 57 $; la réforme et la mort au début de la lactation attribuable à l'ASC, 26 $; la perte de production laitière, 44 $. Compte tenu de ces chiffres, le coût de 1 cas d'ASC a été estimé à 203 $. Une analyse de sensibilité a montré que le coût estimé d'un cas d'ASC était le plus sensible à l'incidence de l'ASC au niveau du troupeau et au coût d'une journée ouvrable. En conclusion, l'ASC a un impact négatif sur les troupeaux laitiers et les pertes dépendent de l'incidence au niveau du troupeau et des facteurs inclus dans le calcul.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).

RESUMO

A partial budget model was developed to evaluate the economic value of Rumensin Controlled Release Capsule (CRC) boluses when administered before calving to reduce disease and increase milk production. After accounting for disease incidences in a herd and the percentage by which Rumensin CRC can reduce them, and the increase in milk production attributable to administration of Rumensin CRC, the return on investment (ROI) per lactation was 4:1. Another partial budget model was developed to estimate the economic value of propylene glycol (PG) to treat ketosis when diagnosed by 3 different cow-side tests or when administered to all cows without using any cow-side testing. After accounting for the sensitivity and specificity of each test, ROI per lactation ranged from 2:1 to 4:1. The ROI was 2:1 when no cow-side testing was used. In conclusion, prevention of diseases that occur in the postpartum period and treatment of ketosis after calving yielded a positive ROI that varies based on disease incidence and method of diagnosis.


Valeur économique des ionophores et du propylèneglycol pour prévenir la maladie et traiter l'acétonémie au Canada. Un modèle de budget partiel a été développé pour évaluer la valeur économique des bolus de capsules à libération contrôlée (CLC) de Rumensin lors de l'administration avant le vêlage afin de réduire les maladies et d'accroître la production de lait. Après avoir tenu compte de l'incidence des maladies dans un troupeau et du pourcentage par lequel la CLC de Rumensin peut les réduire et de l'augmentation de la production de lait attribuable à l'administration de la CLC de Rumensin, le rendement du capital investi (RCI) par lactation était de 4:1. Un autre modèle de budget partiel a été développé pour estimer la valeur économique du propylèneglycol (PG) afin de traiter l'acétonémie lors du diagnostic par 3 tests différents pour les vaches ou lors de l'administration à toutes les vaches sans le recours à des tests auprès des vaches. Après avoir tenu compte de la sensibilité et de la spécificité de chaque test, le RCI par lactation s'échelonnait de 2:1 à 4:1. Le RCI était de 2:1 lorsqu'aucun test auprès des vaches n'était utilisé. En conclusion, la prévention des maladies qui se produit dans la période postpartum et le traitement de l'acétonémie après le vêlage a donné un RCI positif qui varie selon l'incidence de maladies et la méthode de diagnostic.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
