Effect of compound nutritional supplements on feeding performance,blood index,immune performance,and antioxidant function of dogs and cats
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of compound nutritional supplements on immune performance and antioxidant function in dogs and cats.Twenty adult healthy Linqing lion cats and twenty adult healthy Chinese garden dogs were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,respectively,with 10 replicates in each group.The experimental group was supplemented with 5 g of compound nutritional supplements mixed with 60 mL of water,while the control group was not supplemented.The trial period lasted for 30 days.The results showed that compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in the initial weight,final weight,and average daily feed intake of dogs and cats in the experimental group(P>0.05).The average water consumption of the dogs in the experimental group was significantly reduced(P<0.05),while the average total water intake of the dogs and cats in the experimental group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the average hemoglobin content,average red blood cell volume and globulin content in the blood of cats in the experimental group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The number of blood granulocytes of dogs in the experimental group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the serum SOD activity and IL-6 content of dogs and cats in the experimental group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The serum IgD content of cats in the experimental group was significantly increased(P<0.05).The serum IgA and IgG content of dogs in the experimental group were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the serum MDA content in the experimental group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the fecal score of cats in the experimental group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The study indicates that compound nutritional supplements can increase the water intake of dogs and cats,improve antioxidant capacity and immunity.
