Less is more? Ultra-low carbohydrate diet and working dogs’ performance

Aims to determine if the concentration of interstitial glucose (IG) and delta-g (a measurement of activity) will be lower in farm working dogs fed an ultra-low carbohydrate (CHO) high fat diet in comparison to dogs fed a high CHO low fat diet, and to determine if low concentrations of IG are followe...

Description
Summary:Aims to determine if the concentration of interstitial glucose (IG) and delta-g (a measurement of activity) will be lower in farm working dogs fed an ultra-low carbohydrate (CHO) high fat diet in comparison to dogs fed a high CHO low fat diet, and to determine if low concentrations of IG are followed by reduced physical activity. Tests the hypothesis that feeding working farm dogs an ultra-low CHO diet would reduce their IG concentrations, which in turn would reduce physical activity during work.
