Dietary fats contribute more than twice the available energy compared to carbohydrates and protein. A low fat diet can be helpful in controlling calorie intake. Dietary crude fiber is poorly digested and helps reduce the amount of available calories and may contribute to satiety. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to be restricted in calories and high in fiber may be beneficial in the management of obesity while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. | | | Extra Information:
