Abstract
Dietary fibres can modify the intestinal structure in dogs and other a nimal species. The main changes concern not only the morphology of the gastrointestinal tract but also the ultrastructures. Furthermore, sol uble and partly-soluble fibres are fermented in the large bowel; the f ermentation products have different metabolic effects. The physical an d chemical properties of fibres can be used for the dietary therapy of some intestinal pathologies.
