| Course Focus and Learning Objectives |
VetCE on Demand: Fiber in Veterinary Nutrition utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.
Dietary therapy is at the foundation of all gastrointestinal disease management. In most cases, the most critical nutrient is dietary fiber. Despite its importance, dietary fiber is a vexing area due to the complexity of what fiber is and does. This course discusses how to assess fiber intake, strategically adjust dietary fiber supplementation, and implement it in practice. It reviews key concepts like fermentability, viscosity, and solubility, and the outcomes associated with these factors.
After completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- discuss the concepts of fermentability, solubility, and viscosity
- explain the basic approach to assessing fiber content in pet foods, beyond the required crude fiber information
- discuss dietary alternatives to traditionally marketed fiber-enhanced diets
- apply nutritional concepts in a case-based format to emphasize the process of fiber modification to maximize patient outcomes
- review recent literature emphasizing the importance of fiber supplementation
