Effects of Different Specifications of Yucca Extracts on the Odor and Ammonia Nitrogen Content of Cat Feces
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different specifications of yucca extract on cat feces odor and ammonia nitrogen content,and to evaluate the deodorization effect of different specifications of yucca extract on cat feces.Ten healthy cats were selected as one experimental group,with one cat per replicate.The control group was fed a basal diet.Treatment groups Ⅰ to Ⅲ were supplemented with 1%yucca extract of different specifications in the basal diet,respectively.The experiment lasted for 44 days.The results show that adding yucca extract in cat diet can reduce the ammonia emission in feces,reduce the ammonia nitrogen content in feces,and alleviate the odor of cat feces.Under the design conditions of this experiment,the effect of sample 2 is the best.
