See full text

A method for reducing the severity of hip dysplasia in animals is provided wherein the animals are fed a nutritionally balanced composition during the formative stage of growth when the animal is particularly vulnerable to hip dysplasia, in which the dietary electrolyte balance in the composition is controlled to a level that is not greater than about 20 milliequivalents/100 g. Electrolyte balance is determined according to a formula wherein: Dietary Electrolyte Balance (Meq/100 g)=Sodium (Meq/100 g)+Potassium (Meq/100 g)-Chloride (Meq/100 g).
