Periodontal disease is the biggest and most common health problem in dogs, affecting around 80% of animals over three years of age. The first symptom of periodontal disease identified by dog owners is halitosis (bad breath) which is not only a health issue to animals, but can also affect the relationship between owners and their dogs.
This white paper, published at the end of 2023 in Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, shows that a diet based on the black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has potential to suppress bad breath and improve oral health.
The consumption of a black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal-based diet decreases bacteria that produce volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) and positively modulates the saliva microbiota. This can suppress the occurrence of halitosis and improve oral health.
