Gut health is widely recognized as a driver of whole-body wellness in pets, influencing digestion, immune function, and overall health. Plasma is a functional, high-quality protein ingredient rich in bioactive compounds and has been studied for its role in supporting intestinal health. This peer-reviewed publication was designed to further evaluate and confirm the role of plasma in supporting gut health when included in extruded adult dog diets. The research evaluated microbiome-related outcomes, fecal metabolites, nutrient digestibility, and select immune and inflammatory biomarkers to better understand plasma’s role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis in adult dogs.
