Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different cat food on basal physiological indexes and blood physiological, biochemical, antioxidant indexes after stress stimulation. Twelve healthy British shorthairs with similar body weight were randomly divided into a control group (CON group) and trial group (CAS group), and each group had 6 cats. CON group was fed a commercial cat food, while CAS group was fed stress relieve clinical cat food, and the same chronic moderate stress stimulation and feeding conditions were given. Mean feed intake, basic physiological indexes and blood indexes were measured before and after stress, also at the end of the experiment. The experimental period was 3 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) the cats’ stress stimulation model was successfully established. Compared with the adaptive feeding period, the feed intake of the two groups decreased significantly during the stress modeling period and the observation period (P<0.05). 2) There were no significant differences in body weight, body temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate between two groups (P>0.05). 3) There were no significant differences in the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, lymphocyte number and neutrophil number between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with day 0 (before modeling), the number of white blood cells in CAS group on day 7 was significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration were significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with CON group, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase and triglyceride content in serum in CAS group were significantly decreased on day 14 (P<0.05). Compared with day 0, the contents of urea nitrogen and triglyceride in serum in CAS group were significantly decreased on day 7 (P<0.05). And the contents of creatinine (P<0.05), urea nitrogen (P<0.01), lactate dehydrogenase activity (P<0.05) in serum in CAS group were significantly decreased on day 14. 5) There was no significant difference in the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde content in serum between two group (P>0.05). Compared with day 0, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in serum in CAS group were significantly increased on day 7 (P<0.01). 6) There was no significant difference in serum cortisol content between two groups (P>0.05). In summary, in this study complete cat prescription food can timely supplement the nutrient consumption of body metabolism during stress and achieve the purpose of relieving stress. It is a nutritional solution that can be applied to the clinical anti-stress prevention and treatment of cats.
