Breath hydrogen concentrations of cats given commercial canned and extruded diets indicate gastrointestinal microbial activity vary with diety type

Breath hydrogen concentrations of cats given commercial canned and extruded diets indicate gastrointestinal microbial activity vary with diety type

Breath hydrogen concentration, an indicator of intestinal microbial abundance, was determined in cats given purified and commercial canned and dry-type diets. Relative to dry-type diets, canned dies induced a substantially greater breath H2 production, and therefore appear to support a greater intes...

Zusammenfassung:Breath hydrogen concentration, an indicator of intestinal microbial abundance, was determined in cats given purified and commercial canned and dry-type diets. Relative to dry-type diets, canned dies induced a substantially greater breath H2 production, and therefore appear to support a greater intestinal microbial population.
