Effects of Products Containing Different Yeast Hydrolysates on Pet Palatability

Title ：Effects of Products Containing Different Yeast Hydrolysates on Pet Palatability

Abstract:This study aimed to investigate the effects of pet products formulated with different yeast hydrolysates on pet palatability. According to the principles of consistent genetic background, similar age and body weight, and equal number of males and females, 24 healthy adult dogs and 24 healthy adult cats were selected. The internationally recognized two-bowl test was adopted for palatability evaluation. Dogs and cats were randomly divided into 3 groups with 8 replicates per group. The control group was fed the basal diet, while the experimental groups were supplied with the basal diet supplemented with 2% yeast hydrolysate A (Diet 2), 2% yeast hydrolysate B (Diet 3), and 2% yeast hydrolysate C (Diet 4), respectively. The results showed that for both dogs and cats, nucleotide-enriched yeast hydrolysate exhibited significant advantages in palatability compared with other yeast hydrolysates.
