Description In order to assess and evaluate the in vitro digestibility of commercially available food with GADVASU produced food that contains chia in two different percentages, 1% and 3%, the current study was carried out. Using standardised techniques, the analysis of feeds was carried out at the laboratory of the Nutrition department at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana, Punjab. The amount of aflatoxin in various foods was also examined. Contrary to ether extract, which was higher in Chia 1% and Chia 3%, commercial food had larger levels of dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, and total ash. Aflatoxin levels in commercial food were higher than in chia 1% and 3%, although they were all within acceptable ranges. While Chia 1% and 3% have higher digestibilities for dry matter, crude protein, and organic matter than commercial foods, Chia 1% has a higher digestibility for ether extract. Due to its greater dry matter, crude protein, and ether extract digestibilities, this study demonstrated that a meal containing 1% of chia is more digestible than the other two. So it is reasonable to say that a diet containing 1% chia can be used to replace commercial dog food.
