<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-IN" lang="EN-IN">According to Indian system of traditional medicine (Ayurveda), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">dahi</i> is beneficial in promotion of health and vitality due to its antibacterial action against pathogenic microbes and improvement in nutrient digestibility. Hence, in the present study traditionally prepared Indian fermented milk <i>dahi</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">/curd was evaluated as a probiotics <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">for its health benefits in canine model. Eight Labrador dogs were divided in completely randomized design (CRD) in two groups, one control (CON, without supplement) and other treatment group (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">dahi</i>, supplemented with measured amount (100 ml) of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dahi</i>/curd having ~10<sup>6-7</sup> cfu of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Lactobacillus </i>sp /ml). Nutrient digestibility and hindgut health was assessed after 6 weeks and haematology was done after 7 weeks of experimental feeding. There was a slight (P>0.05) increase in dry matter (DM, P=0.055), organic matter (OM, P=0.073), crude fibre (CF, P=0.104) digestibility while that of calcium improved significantly (P<0.05) due to feeding of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dahi</i>. Significant reduction in feacal <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">p</i>H (P<0.001) and ammonia (P<0.01), whereas lactate (P<0.001) and total short chain fatty acids (SCFAs, P<0.05) were increased in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dahi</i> fed group. The health positive microbial count (lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) were significantly (P<0.05) increased with decrease in health negative coliforms (P<0.01) in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dahi </i>fed animals. Total erythrocyte count (TEC) was increased (P<0.01) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) decreased (P<0.01) in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dahi</i> compared to CON. In conclusion, traditionally prepared <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">dahi</i>/curd can be used as a probiotics with beneficial effect on digestibility of some nutrients, hindgut health characteristics, intestinal microbial balance and haematolgy. </span></span></span> |
