Feeding as the main factor in the development and prevention of urolithiasis in Felis Lybica Catus

Abstract

In the qualification work, the percentage of patients with urolithiasis among animals with a detected urological syndrome was established; seasonality of urolithiasis; age, breed, gender predisposition to the disease. The types of cat feeding were studied and the most favorable for the formation of urolithiasis were determined. The change in the number of struvites, the pH index and the density of urine in cats using different types of feed is shown. Physiological meat-based protein food (proprietary food) for cats has been developed for use in the treatment and prevention of urolithiasis. The therapeutic and preventive effect of the use of the developed physiological feed (author's feed) for cats (without the addition and with the introduction of sodium chloride) for urolithiasis was studied.
