Abstract
The present disclosure provides a low fat hypoallergenic nutritionally complete food composition for a companion animal including from about 50 to about 80 g/Mcal of proteins, said proteins comprising at least about 80% of hydrolysed proteins, from about 120 to about 180 g/Mcal of starch, said starch being from at least one rice source, from about 10 to about 30 g/Mcal of Total Dietary Fibers (TDF), and less than about 25 g/Mcal of fat. The composition can be used for companion animals affected with adverse food reactions (AFR), such as concomitant hyperlipidaemia, lymphangiectasia or any form of fat intolerance, fat malabsorption, and/or nutritional support of chronic enteropathies.
