  • Raw meat based diet influences faecal microbiome and end products of fermentation in healthy dogs.    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28245817

    • Conclusion:  These results suggest that the diet composition modifies faecal microbial composition and end products of fermentation. The administration of MD diet promoted a more balanced growth of bacterial communities and a positive change in the readouts of healthy gut functions in comparison to RD diet.

 

  • 80/10/5/5 prey model feeding is based off the apex predator pyramid studies done by Lotka-Voletrra and their predator prey models.    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1084562/     http://www.pnas.org/content/70/7/2069   

    • Later research from ~30 different scientists, biologists, nutritional experts, and ecologists used the model to emulate prey feeding to zoo animals.   wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/000ADOBES/Bears/D317WholePreyFinal02May29.pdf

    • They did the whole thing... from the bottom of the food chain re the land required, right up to the top of the food chain.  They didn’t know the significance of the nutrition at that time though, just the quantities, number of prey, what a prey consisted of. The nutritional profiles came later by different scientists.  ~Rhi Morgan-Beckett
