As a new type of feed additive, chitosan oligosaccharide has the functions of improving the body's immunity, antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects, increasing the growth of anti-tumor cells, promoting the absorption of essential minerals such as calcium and iron, and promoting the production of antibodies in the liver and spleen. It can regulate animal blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar, and regulate the microflora of the digestive tract, which can increase bifidobacteria by 120 times and other functions.
The experiment was conducted by adding different concentrations of chitosan oligosaccharide in cat diet to explore its effect on the immune function of adult cats, in order to provide a basis for the application of chitosan oligosaccharide in cat diet. Twenty-seven adult cats were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups, with 9 repetitions in each group, with 1 per repetition. The control group was fed the basal diet, and the experimental group was supplemented with 0.03% and 0.05% chitosan oligosaccharide, respectively. The pre-feeding period was 6 d, and the experimental period was 30 d. The results showed that compared with the control group, the 0.03% and 0.05% chitosan oligosaccharide groups had a tendency to increase the immune performance and significantly improved the secretion of immunoglobulin A. To sum up, adding chitosan oligosaccharide in the diet can improve the function of the cat's body and can be used in cat food.
