🍔 Dairy and meat dominated the research themes for 2025
🫛 Soy and peas were the most researched ingredients
📈 Emerging trend: functional & non-alcoholic plant-based beverages gaining momentum.

🫧 PF is an established tech for enzyme production, however, it is still considered an emerging category in the food & deep tech realm.
⚠️ Thus, keyword searches for 'precision fermentation' yield limited results. Broadening search terms can further improve its research landscape analysis.

A 15-40% inclusion rate seems safe for this study. Researchers indicate future work to cover:
- Testing different dog breeds (not just beagles)
- Investigating short-chain fatty acid production & its role in gut health
- Exploring global serum & fecal metabolite changes

- Fibre intake was increased that likely led to lower fat digestibility
- Protein & energy digestibility remained unchanged
- Fecal scores & pH changes suggest higher fiber content, leading to slightly softer stools (yeast based diet)

- Whole blood taurine was lower in test groups but remained above the critical threshold (150 nmol/mL)
- Researchers link this finding to prior studies showing that lamb-based diets naturally lower taurine
