The present invention pertains to the use of probiotics for the preparation of a carrier for balancing the skin's immune function. In particular, the present invention pertains to the use of probiotic micro-organisms for balancing the skin's immune function under stress conditions, such as a exposure to ultraviolet radiation, specifically for enhancing the skin's immune activity and reducing the tendency to develop allergic reactions under such conditions.

A source of dietary lipids containing anti-microbial fatty acids is added to a food composition intended for improving or maintaining the skin health and/or coat quality in a pet by preventing or regulating the growth of skin pathogens and of microflora responsible for the generation of body surface and coat odors.

A pet milk powder of a cow's milk powder which contains lactose, and lactase in an amount sufficient to reduce the symptoms of gastrointestinal intolerance in pets when the powder or a solution made from the powder is ingested by the pet. At least a portion of the lactose in the pet milk powder is hydrolyzed upon reconstitution of the powder with a solvent. Also, a pet milk-based drink made by reconstituting the powder with a solvent such as water.

The subject of the invention is the use of a protein material whose rate of digestion has been reduced, for the preparation of an enteral composition which makes it possible to modulate the postprandial plasma amino acid level, said protein material having been previously treated so as to convert the fast-digesting proteins which it contains to slow-digesting proteins, characterized in that the slow-digesting protein material is a material containing microparticulate gelled proteins combined with polysaccharides under conditions of thermodynamic incompatibility.
