| dc.description.abstract | Pro-, pre-, syn- and postbiotics show a vast potential in curing, treating and preventing
systemic and local disease and aiding the reduction of antimicrobial use and antimicrobial
resistance occurrence. Nowadays, dogs and cats are not only pets, but family members,
whose health is of great importance. This has led to growing interest in companion animal
health. Pro-, pre-, syn- and postbiotics are powerful treatment tools for health modulation in
dogs and cats, which is why this thesis summarises their definitions, health benefits, risks,
and technological advances and discusses newest research in this field. | en_US |
