Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze composition centesimal and also microbiological of wet rations for dogs and cats in different stages of life (puppies, adult and senior) in the municipality of Dom Pedrito - RS and to relate the results to the values reported by the manufacturers. Six brands were obtained in sachets, three for dogs and three for cats. Of each brand, were obtained rations for puppy and adults, being that of a brand for dogs and other for cats, were purchased rations senior. The analyses were carried out in the Laboratory of Bromatology and Laboratory of microbiology, both of the Federal University of Pampa- Campus Dom Pedrito. The samples were analyzed for the presence of fungi, crude protein, ethereal extract, mineral matter, crude fiber and humidity. After the bromatological analyzes of the rations wet for dogs and cats, some samples presented values different from the value described on the label, however, the great majority of the rations analyzed were in agreement with the value declared by the manufacturer. Referring to the microbiological analyzes, only the ration RC 1 for puppy presented one colony forming unit, thus demonstrating that the humid food industries have good supervision and sanity.
