Abstract

Minerali su anorganski elementi potrebni za normalno funkcioniranje organizma koji
pripadaju esencijalnim nutrijentima odgovornim za razliĉite funkcije u tijelu. Postoje znaĉajni
meĊusobni odnosi meĊu mnogim mineralima koji mogu utjecati na apsorpciju, metabolizam i
njihovu ulogu u organizmu. Sagledavanje problematike deficita i suficita minerala u prehrani
pasa i maĉaka sa kliniĉkog aspekta njihove manifestacije od kljuĉnog je znaĉenja. Disbalans
minerala u obroku kod kućnih ljubimaca dovesti će do razliĉitih kliniĉkih oĉitovanja koje, u
konaĉnici, mogu dovesti do uginuća ţivotinje. Kao rezultat toga, razinu većine minerala u
prehrani treba razmotriti u odnosu na druge sastojke prehrane, s ciljem postizanja optimalne
cjelovite dijetetske ravnoteţe. Stoga je cilj ovog rada prikazati funkciju i vaţnost pojedinog
minerala u prehrani pasa i maĉaka, u kojim koliĉanama su potrebni s obzirom na dob i vrstu, uz
naglasak na minimalne i maksimalne koncentracije u obroku te objediniti kliniĉka oĉitovanja
njihova disbalansa (suficita i deficita) kako bi se olakšala diferencijalno dijagnostiĉka prosudba i
postavljanje sumnje na nepravilnosti kod hranjenja. Naposlijetku je neophodno naglasiti izuzetnu
vaţnost uravnoteţene prehrane u hranidbi pasa i maĉaka i savjesno ukljuĉivanje mineralnih
dodataka u obrok kućnih ljubimaca bilo da se radi o komercijalnoj hrani ili kod kuće spravljenim
obrocima kako bi se izbjegle greške u hranidbi i kliniĉke manifestacije deficita i suficita
minerala.

Abstract (english)

Minerals are inorganic elements that are considered essential nutrients responsible for
different functions in the body and are necessary for the normal functioning of the organism.
There are significant interactions among many minerals that can affect the absorption, the
metabolism and their role in the body. The study of the mineral deficiency and excess problem in
the diet of dogs and cats, from the clinical aspect of their manifestation, is of crucial importance.
The disbalance of minerals in a pet's diet will lead to various clinical manifestations that can
ultimately lead to death. As a result, the level of most minerals in a pet's diet should be
considered in relation to other nutritional ingredients, with the aim of achieving optimal dietary
balance. The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the function and importance of particular
minerals in the diet of dogs and cats, what are their required quantities in terms of age and type,
with emphasis on the minimum and maximum meal concentrations to be able to unite the clinical
manifestations of their disbalance (excess and deficiency) which would, in the end, facilitate the
differential diagnosis and indicate to irregularities in feeding. It is necessary to emphasize the
extraordinary importance of a balanced diet, with the conscientious inclusion of mineral
supplements in the pet food, whether the food is commercially produced or home-made, to avoid
nutritional mistakes and clinical manifestations of mineral deficiency and excess.
