Impact of food type on long term consumption kinetics in group-housed domestic cats (Felis catus). The aim of the current research was to assess the impact of the type of dry food on the long term acceptance in cats, expressed as consumption curves. A group of 14 adult neutered domestic cats were subsequently offered three types of products: economy, medium and premium. The consumption of food has been carefully monitored each day of the experiment, which enabled the drawing of the precise consumption curve. The average daily consumption showed differences between feeding periods (98.33%, 61.17% and 55.04% for premium, medium and economy diet type, respectively). In all groups the monotony effect has been observed, but the relative stability of the consumption has been observed only in cats fed with the premium type of food. The attractiveness of the economy type of food was distinctively low, resulting in a regularly waved consumption curve. It can be concluded, that the prolonged offering of a particular type of complete dry pet food within the limits of metabolizable energy requirements may potentially lead to adverse consequences for cats. The food consumption level that supplies the minimal daily energy amount can likely result in imbalanced macronutrient intake.
A study was conducted on the possibility of application of “dry” extrusion-cooking technology for the processing of plant-meat mixtures. The effect of the concentration of the meat material (meat-bone pulp), leguminous material (faba bean), wheat grain meal and extrusion temperature on the process run, physicochemical properties and on the microstructure of the extrudates was investigated. It was demonstrated that extrusion-cooking with a twin-screw extruder permits the processing of blends with up to 30% meat-bone pulp content. Increase in the content of the meat material caused a decrease of specific density and water solubility index (WSI) of the extrudates. At the same time, a significant increase in the content of proteins, fat, and ash was observed. Extrusion temperature increase from 130 to 250°C caused an increase in the degree of expansion ratio and impact strength of the extrudates and a decrease in specific density of the products. At the same time, the microstructure of the products was changed from cohesive and compacted to more expanded and porous.
At the Zoological Garden in Poznań, Poland, 66 stool specimens from animals belonging to 40 species of 4 orders (Primates, Proboscidea, Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla) were examined for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Cryptosporidium oocysts were found in 7 of 66 faecal samples (9.1%) obtained from 6 different animal species. This is the first report of C. parvum in a lesser slow loris, white rhinoceros, Indian elephant and Thorold’s deer. The remaining Cryptosporidium-positive faecal specimens were collected from Japanese macaque and Eld’s deer.
