Analysis of the use of ready-made Expert hepatic diets for adult cats liver care company Miratorg

Abstract

This work is devoted to studying the effect of Expert Hepatic ready-made diets for adult cats liver care company MIRATORG on cats in the complex therapy of hepatopathy. An important component in the complex treatment of cats with liver diseases is the use of complete diets. The purpose of these diets is to replenish energy and nutrients to maintain the body's needs and ensure the regeneration of hepatocytes to maintain liver function. This can be achieved if the diet is easily digestible and has high palatability, high energy density and modified protein content. In the course of the studies, biochemical blood parameters were studied, reflecting the condition of the liver in cats, which used ready-made Expert Hepatic diets for adult cats’ liver care from the MIRATORG company in the complex treatment of hepatopathy. The study was conducted on the basis of the Multifunctional Veterinary Center "SPbGUVM" in the period from February 2022 to October 2023. The study was carried out on cats of different breeds aged 6-9 years. The study revealed that at the beginning of the experiment, all experimental animals had increased indicators characterizing the condition of the liver. At the same time, the activity of the cytolysis marker enzymes AlAT and AST was higher than the upper limit of the reference values for this animal species by an average of 1.5 times. A less pronounced increase in activity was observed in alkaline phosphatase, the main marker of cholestasis. These changes corresponded to a moderate increase in the content of total bilirubin. By the end of the experiment, a significant decrease in all studied parameters was observed. The level of bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase was at the upper limit of the reference values for this animal species. The activity of aminotransferases significantly decreased, but still remained above normal.
