The Role of Omics Technologies in Pet Food Science: Advancing Nutrition, Health, and Safety
Résumé
The integration of omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics, has revolutionized pet food science, providing deep insights into pet nutrition, metabolic health, gut microbiota composition, and disease prevention. These cutting-edge approaches enable the development of precision diets tailored to individual pets based on genetic predispositions, metabolic profiles, and gut microbiome interactions. This review explores the current applications of omics in pet food science, highlighting how these technologies aid in formulating functional pet foods, improving food safety, and enhancing overall pet well-being. Additionally, we discuss emerging computational tools, challenges in data integration, and future perspectives on multi-omics approaches, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize pet nutrition.
