The aim of this study was to evaluate two commercially available selected-protein-source diets as maintenance diets in cats with dermatological manifestations of adverse food reactions. Twenty cats with a confirmed adverse food reaction were tested in a double-blind manner. An adverse food reaction was diagnosed when, after recovery with a home-cooked elimination diet, the signs relapsed after a challenge with their previous dietary components, and re-disappeared on a second elimination diet period. Hereafter the cats were blind and randomly challenged with two commercial hypoallergenic diets. Relapse of the clinical signs was seen in eight cats (40%) on a lamb and rice diet and in 13 cats (65%) on a chicken and rice diet (P>0.05). Neither one of the commercial diets was as effective in controlling the skin problems as the home-cooked elimination diet. The study confirms that commercial hypoallergenic diets are adequate for maintenance.
本研究的目的是评估两种市售的特定蛋白质来源日粮作为患有食物不良反应皮肤病猫的维持日粮。对20只确诊为食物不良反应的猫进行了双盲试验。当采用自制排除性日粮恢复后,用之前的饮食成分进行激发试验时症状复发,而在第二个排除性日粮阶段症状再次消失,则诊断为食物不良反应。此后,对这些猫进行盲法并随机给予两种商业低敏日粮进行激发试验。在食用羊肉和大米日粮的猫中有8只(40%)出现临床症状复发,在食用鸡肉和大米日粮的猫中有13只(65%)出现复发(P>0.05)。这两种商业日粮在控制皮肤问题方面均不如自制排除性日粮有效。该研究证实商业低敏日粮足以用于维持。
