The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of whey enzymatically modified rich in galactooligosaccharides in the nutritional characteristics and effects in the microflora of cecum contents by the study with Golden Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) for 28 days (controlled conditions). Three isoproteic diets were prepared (20% w/w): C (casein), W (whey) and G (whey modified). The groups studied differed positively from the C regarding feed and protein efficiency ratio. The relationships (w/w) of organ/body were found proportional in all diets. The counts of probiotics from the cecum contents the groups showed no difference. The pHs of studied groups were lower than C, this acidity can at impairs the ability of pathogens to grow in the intestine. Results suggest that using whey enzymatically modified rich in galactooligosaccharides could replace the standard diet with nutritional efficiency and possible inhibit the microorganisms pathogenic without induce damage in health.
