EFEITOS DO EXTRATO DE PAREDE DE LEVEDURA EM DIETA SECA SOBRE A MICROBIOLOGIA, ÁCIDOS GRAXOS DE CADEIA CURTA E REDUÇÃO DO ODOR DAS FEZES DE GATOS ADULTOS
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of yeast cell wall extract (YCW) in dry diet on the fecal microbiota, concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and on the odor reduction of cats feces. We used 20 animals of both sexes, randomly assigned to four treatments and five repetitions...

We used 20 animals of both sexes, randomly assigned to four treatments and five repetitions totaling 20 experimental units: 1) dry commercial diet (control); 2) control + 0.2%, 3) control + 0.4%, and 4) control + 0.6% of YCW in dry matter. Enterobacteriaceae and lactic acid bacteria, fecal concentration of acetic, propionic and butyric acids, ammonia nitrogen and sensory panel were performed.
