Effects of a dietary chitosan and calcium supplement on Ca and P metabolism in cats.

摘要: The aim of the present study in cats was to investigate potential effects a calcium carbonate and chitosan supplement on blood parameters aged with moderate chronic renal failure mineral balance adult healthy cats. For trials, 10 neutered 2-4 years age were fed for 21 days six (2 male 4 female), 14 age, elevated urea phosphorus level plasma 35 supplement. apparent digestibility (p < 0.05) reduced treatment period. Plasma inorganic phosphate decreased significantly old after treatment. had significant effect phosphorus, gross energy, dry matter, crude ash, fiber protein practical implication could be an alternative option refusing ingest veterinary diets.
