Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter provides a hypoallergenic palatable composition. The composition includes at least about 25% of at least partially hydrolysed proteins and at least about 10% of crude fibers by weight, based on the total weight of dry matter of the composition. The composition can be used to achieve weight loss and/or weight management of pet animals affected with adverse food reactions (AFR), particularly cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFR).
Claims10
A hypoallergenic palatable composition, comprising:
- at least about 25% by weight of at least partially hydrolysed proteins;
- and
- at least about 10% by weight of crude fibers,
- based on the total weight of dry matter of the composition, and
- from about 4% to about 12% moisture,
- wherein the at least partially hydrolysed proteins have a molecular weight ranging from about 1,000 Da to about 11,000 Da.
A hypoallergenic palatable composition comprising, by weight, based on the total weight of the composition,
- from about 20% to about 38% of at least partially hydrolysed proteins;
- from about 17.4% to about 23% of crude fibers;
- from about 4% to about 13% of crude fat;
- and
- from about 4% to about 12% moisture,
- wherein the at least partially hydrolysed proteins have a molecular weight ranging from about 1,000 Da to about 11,000 Da.
