BARNETT2 Taurine in fish Study on the lack of taurine in mothers and puppies Taurine: Taurine (from the Latin taurus, bull, as it was originally isolated from bull bile by the German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_ammino-sulfur-ammonium acid is an acidic chemical abundant in many tissues of various animals, including humans. Small polypeptides containing taurine have been identified, but to date no aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase has been found capable of specifically recognizing taurine and capable of incorporating it into RNA. Taurine covers numerous and important functions; is, for example, a precursor of bile salts. to produce new bile salts and replace those lost in the faeces), participates in the growth and maturation of nervous tissues, contributes to the maintenance of good eyesight and correct heart function and, in the female, has an important role at the reproductive level. A deficiency can lead to un heart failure, poor immune response, poor neonatal growth, deafness, lower number of fetuses, resorptions, miscarriages, low birth weight, low survival rate of newly born kittens born, and birth defects, such as, abnormal development of the zampe posterior, and skeletal abnormalities including curved spines and short stature. Taurine is also found in some bacterial species in more modest quantities and in rare cases in plants; _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb358d_ 136bad5cf found in red algae, but not in brown algae o green , some traces in some plant foods, such as, nuts. Taurine is also present at high levels in the insects (don't be surprised if cats love to hunt them). Taurine is abundant in the tissues of most fish, birds and rodents, and in lower concentrations in larger animals, such as cattle. Taurine in cats, is mainly synthesized in the liver by aminoacids containing sulfur, methionine and cysteine, and the action of numerous enzymes, including cysteine sulfur dioxide and cysteine dioxinic acid . In cats, as the activity of liver enzymes is very low, the biosynthesis of taurine from its precursors is insufficient_cc781905-bbc3b-3194 unlike dogs, taurine intake is therefore essential. Furthermore cats waste large amounts of taurine, in fact, like dogs, they only use taurine for the conjugation of bile acids, while humans and rats can also use glycine (Morris et al., 1987), this leads to a continuous loss of taurine, such as a substantial part is not recovered from the entero-hepatic circulation and is lost in the faeces. Why did the cat lose its ability to synthesize an essential nutrient such as taurine? In these circumstances the production of taurine is a waste of energy, while the deamination and desulfurization of cysteine is an alternative metabolic pathway that allows cats to produce energy, rather than taurine from the catabolism of the sulfur amino acids . Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in animal tissues, cats that live in the wild and which forage themselves for food by hunting, are not deficient in taurine. A mouse - contains a very high amount of taurine compared to other types of meat - about 2.4 mg / gram . The good news is that taurine is present in many types of muscle meat, is abundant in the heart. Chicken hearts are a fantastic source of taurine for cats. The amino acid taurine-sulfonic is now recognized as essential for the cat that needs about 10 mg / kg adult. In the last decade, cats fed with diets characterized by an insufficient presence of taurine have shown two diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and progressive retinal atrophy. Unfortunately, only some clinical pictures can be resolved with a subsequent supplementation of taurine and it is therefore important that this amino acid is present in adequate quantities in any diet for cats. In order to have an optimal amino acid level, canned feeds need a higher concentration of taurine than dry feeds. The reason for this difference is not known, but a reason can be found in the difference in the formulation of the two products. Furthermore, since taurine is "free", as previously mentioned, it is not incorporated into the proteins, furthermore this molecule is thermosensitive and si alloy_cc7 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_all water very quickly so it is easy to lose it in the defrosting phase of the meat- For these reasons it is advisable to administer to the cat carne cruda not minced. A diet based on pulpy bones and organs is abundant in taurine (arginine and arachidonic acid). However, heat destroys about 2/3 of the taurine content (some research says that the heat destroys between 50% and 100% of taurine). Heat destroys all essential amino acids, enzymes, and a high percentage of nutrients. This becomes a problem if you feed your cat cooked meat. Not there are clinical studies fact on the daily need_cc781905-gattofied-136 in the diet of a takadin it takes months or even years, to see the results of a taurine deficient diet . Therefore, very few experiments have been done, however, in the few controlled clinical trials that have been done it has been observed that the cats given 500 mg / kg _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_food- of taurine in their daily diet showed no signs of deficiency. At higher doses, researchers saw a slight improvement in reproduction. In a 17-month study, cats given were given 375 mg / kg daily taurine had _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badd a normal value ERG, as opposed to 250mg which was too low and caused cardiac abnormalities. The National Research Council (NRC) specifies that the minimum recommended amount of taurine for adult cats is 0.0099 kg. per kilogram of body weight. For kittens, the minimum quantity is 0.017 kg. per kilogram of body weight, but la recommended dose of 0.33 kg. of taurine per kilogram of body weight . If you want to see the long-term results of a taurine deficiency in cats all you need to do is take a research from Dr. Frances Pottenger. From 1932 to 1942, Pottenger conducted a food experiment con foods To summarize his experiment: he divided about 100 cats into two groups: one group was fed with raw milk and raw meat, and the other group was fed cooked food and pasteurized milk. Cats fed raw food, grew up healthy and si are reproduced. The cats fed cooked foods, destroyed their salute, fell ill with blindness, heart disease, high death rate of the kittens, until they were no longer able to reproduce. As you can see, cats that were fed cooked foods had all the classic symptoms of a taurine deficiency. (NOTE: Pottenger's intention was not to study the nutritional needs of cats, but to demonstrate that "facial deformities" in humans - narrowed jaws, crowded teeth, brittle bones, and even difficult pregnancies - was the result of our Western diet made of industrial foods). Earlier this year, I had a couple of clients who came to me with cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is a heart disease that causes the heart to thicken. , what I found interesting is that both of these cats were fed the same brand of a processed "holistic" cat food (how can holistic food be processed? this is what I call a oxymoron!). For me, this was a red flag. And, this is why ... most vets will tell you that the cause of HCM is unknown, or that some breeds are predisposed to HCM. I believe the nutrigenomics _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ should be considered. Nutrigenomics is the study of the effects of foods and food components on gene expression. I suspected that this particular brand of cat food may have been deficient in taurine, but I checked the pet food recalls page on the FDA website , did not see the brand indicated ... However, this reminds me of a story: In 1988, a veterinary cardiology student noticed that one of his feline patients who was being treated for congestive cardiomyopathy had an extremely low blood serum ur . Now, this cat has been fed "" best quality "feed" food "premium _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_commercial label, which they contained all the daily requirement of taurine. The perplexed veterinarian, came back then check other clinical cases of cardiomia_cardiomia-136b-136b-big surprise found that almost all cases of this disease had low levels of taurine in the blood. When the cats were given a taurine supplement many of them showed a noticeable improvement. What was going on? All the cats were eating "di premium quality" which supposedly contained the necessary levels of taurine! The problem was that the taurine was deactivated during the cooking procedure of processing the cat food. You see, the "feeding paths" of pet food manufacturers' only last about 6 months, so if the animal is still alive and appears to be in good health after 6 months, _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ pet food is authorized for public sale. However, it takes more than 6 months to see the effects of a taurine deficiency in a cat. In any case, due to the discovery by this veterinary student, the pet food manufacturer corrected their mistake but, I can assure you these nutritional errors continue to occur today. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the FDA website on pet food. Now, to answer the question: Is it necessary to add a taurine supplement to raw meat? Well, I have already mentioned what happens to vitamins, enzymes and all essential amino acids when the meat is cooked ... but, with a raw meat diet the concern is only for the defrosting phase. When the meat is frosted there is only a slight decrease in taurine. Furthermore, since taurine is soluble in water and during defrosting some water is released from the meat, taurine can get lost in it ... If you are still concerned about the taurine content in raw meat then I would suggest the following: Since the highest amount of taurine is present in the muscle make sure you give it to your cat, muscle, and especially the heart (the heart is a muscle). Let's take a look at the taurine content of some meats: HERE (NOTE: Taurine is at its highest level in the small heart muscle of a mouse). If you still want to add a taurine supplement to your cat's food, remember that what you are adding is synthetic and not natural taurine. Synthetic Taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulphurous acid, which also leads directly to taurine. Personally, I would avoid any taurine coming from China, simply based on their reputation for exporting contaminated food. Perhaps it is impossible to avoid buying from China as it is the leading exporter of synthetic taurine. As of 2010, China alone has more than 40 taurine producers. Most of these companies employ the ethanolamine method for a total production of around 3,000 tons per year. An Important Word About Ready Commercial Barf & Taurine I'm not a huge fan of raw ground beef for several reasons: Firstly, it's soft, so_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136ccbad5cf58d -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_does not clean teeth, ( is the chewing of the bones to track _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badaro). furthermore, minced meat is not a natural way in which a cat would have eaten its prey. Also, I do not like i specialized brands in raw ground they do not contain appropriate fruit, vegetable and vegetable to a carnivore), and synthetic vitamins. Some ready-made barf preparations, already contain bones e organi which is OK if you have a cat that doesn't eat them, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136_bad5cfandoli all i days this would be too much and could cause; liquid stool, overdose of vitamin A. (bones and organs must be added in proportion to the diet). But, more importantly, grinding the meat reduces the taurine content, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _cc790-5 therefore increases the surface of the meat -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_la exposes the most to air, which entails the oxidation of the to air, this entails the oxidation of the_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Also, due to exposure to air, grinding may cause a decrease in other nutrients , such as, vitamin E or vitamin B6. Additionally, grinding creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, and bacteria also use the taurine in the meat, further reducing the total amount of taurine available to your cat. So, if you feed your cat a raw ground diet, they can't get all the taurine they need to thrive. What we can do for our cats is give them a rotation of various solid whole pieces of fresh meat (rabbits, chicken, turkey, quail, mice, etc.), organs, bones, and limit the time the meat is kept in the freezer e above all, do not grind.

Parental tests (see above) e when possible also those carried out on grandparents, especially with regard to hypertrophic cadiomyopathy (HCM) Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PK-Def) Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK-Def for short) is a genetically based disease. Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme found inside red blood cells and controls their ability to produce energy to survive. When the enzyme is deficient, the red blood cells undergo premature destruction (erythrolysis) and this therefore leads to a reduction in their blood number. The resulting anemia is therefore the primary consequence of the deficit. However, the diagnosis of PK-Def on a symptomatic basis can be very difficult: since the cat's body is able to adapt the production of red blood cells in the face of their decrease, anemia can occur occasionally or intermittently. The development of the disease is slow, in most cases, with vague symptoms such as lethargy and loss of appetite. However, there is the possibility that the cat will develop very severe anemia, which could put its survival at risk. PK-Def is a congenital disease with a genetic basis, for which there is no cure and, since anemia is very often mild, the clinical signs may not be immediately obvious and therefore the condition may be underestimated for a long time. There are cases of deaths within two years, but also cases where the life expectancy is long (over 8 years). It is essential for a cat affected by the disease that its living conditions are optimal and that stressful events are avoided as much as possible. The disease is typical of the Abyssinian and Somali breeds, but can be found in breeds that have undergone hybridization with the Abyssinians or Somalis as well as in domestic cats. Genetic profile PK-Def is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that a cat can be defined: normal: does not have any copy of the defective gene, will not become ill with the disease or pass the disease to the offspring carrier: in the pair of alleles that define the disease, there is a defective allele. The cat will never get sick, but it will be able to pass the mutation to the offspring affected: the pair of alleles is composed of two defective chromosomes. The cat will develop the disease and will certainly pass the mutation on to the offspring. In case of mating between two PK-Def carriers, since both parents have a copy of the defective gene, they will be able to pass the mutation to the offspring. Specifically, two carriers will generate 25% of puppies affected by the disease, 50% of carrier puppies and 25% of healthy puppies. In case of mating between a carrier cat and a healthy cat (ie not a carrier of the deficiency), we will have 50% carrier cats and 50% healthy cats. In a mating between two affected cats, 100% of the offspring will be affected. Management on the farm From a breeding point of view, affected cats should not be used for breeding. It is possible to use carrier cats, obviously defining a control and negativization plan of the line, to manage the pathology as much as possible and go towards the eradication of the pathology in the breed. In the Abyssinian and Somali breeding, due to the small number of subjects currently working with, the breeding plans include the conscious use of carriers, because their carpet sterilization would involve serious problems of numerical consistency of the gene pool. In general, what needs to be done when deciding to use a carrier on the farm is to mate it with non-carrier cats, test the litter and prefer to continue working on the line keeping mutation-negative cats on the farm. In this way, the dual objective of "cleaning" the bloodline and, at the same time, of preserving it will be achieved. The UC Davis study As we have already published in the previous article, News on PK-Def in Norwegian Forest Norwegian, un recent study by UC Davis_cc781905-5cde-3194_badica-136b3b the disease is also present in the Norwegian Forest Cat, although at present we do not yet have precise indications on the gene frequency and on the consequent percentages of carriers and affections in the breed. We therefore suggest, in this first phase, to test your cats and to submit the results of the tests to the public databases for collecting the results, to allow a more in-depth study on the spread of the mutation. Where to take the test Since the mutation found in the Norwegian Forest Cat is the same as the one found in the Abyssinians and Somalis for which genetic testing already exists, it is possible to test your cats in different laboratories that are already certified to perform the test. It is possible to perform the test with either a blood sample or a buccal sample. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the laboratories to which you can turn: Genefast (Italy - agreement with Anfi) Vetogene (Italy) UC Davis (USA) Laboklin (Germany) Text taken da http: //www.clubnorvegesi.com/ Type IV Glycogenosis GSD IV (glycogen storage disease type IV) is part of a group of diseases, called glycogenoses. Type IV affects the Norwegian Forest Cat. They are well described pathologies also in humans, classified as rare diseases. In a normal organism, the excess glucose obtained from the diet or from the conversion of proteins and fats is stored in a branched chain of polymers, glycogen, built using the enzyme GBE (glycogen branching enzyme) as a catalyst. When the body needs energy, glucose molecules are removed from the glycogen and released into the bloodstream or used by the tissues. The ability to efficiently add and remove glucose from glycogen depends on the complexity of its branching structure. GSD IV is a hereditary deficiency of the GBE enzyme: affected subjects store an abnormal form of glycogen which, therefore, leads to an insufficient use of glucose. Hence GSD IV can be considered a chronic hypoglycemia that inexorably worsens towards death (because the body is unable to use glucose effectively). In cats, affected kittens die a few hours or days after birth, most likely because they do not have enough glucose to survive delivery and the first hours / days of life. The late form is rarer, for which the puppy is healthy up to 5/7 months and then suddenly shows a stunted growth and widespread weakness, with the following symptoms: high hyperthermia (over 40 °), insensitive to corticosteroids intermittent and generalized tremors that become permanent intermittent, "hiccup" weakness muscle weakness, followed by muscle atrophy, fibrotic contractures of joints that lead to movement and feeding difficulties and that require continuous assistance from the owner quadriplegia Affected cats can survive up to 10/14 months. They die of cardiac arrest, sometimes after coma. The disease is fatal and there is no cure. It is possible that it is confused with neonatal isoerythrolysis because the symptoms can suggest both pathologies. The only thing that can be done is the test (genetic for GSD IV, blood group identification with B allele typing for neonatal isoerythrolysis). Genetic profile The GDS IV mutation is recessive, which implies that the possibility of it expressing itself in the offspring exists only if both parents are carriers of the mutation. There are 3 different possibilities: both parents are healthy (they are homozygous for the normal allele): the children are healthy and will not carry the mutation. if one of the parents is carrier (heterozygous) we will have about 50% carrier and 50% healthy cats among their offspring. When two carriers are mated we get 25% sick cats, 50% carriers and 25% healthy cats. Recall that a carrier cat is a cat that does not have the disease and that will never develop it. However, he will be able to to transmit the mutation to his children. The test A genetic test, on blood or buccal swab, is available to identify not only affected cats but also carriers. Some laboratories that perform this test are: Vetogenic Genefast Antagen Genindexe Laboklin PennGen Each laboratory provides for the sending home, upon request, of the test material (swabs or blood collection tubes), together with the necessary documentation. In some cases it is required, for a correct identification of the cat, that the microchip is applied. Insights FYFE et al.

perchè i gatti cadono dai balconi? i Veterinari hanno scoperto che ... The cat volante For all those who are convinced that cats do not fall and that if they fall they are not hurt I invite everyone to read these lines, written by a veterinarian. Because it is better to think about it first than to despair later. “Flying cat is, in veterinary jargon, the cat that falls from a high floor: a typical spring patient because, in the first heat, people open the windows and cats fall from the eaves. Yes, I know that I am undermining a fundamental pillar of your cat beliefs, but unfortunately it is: it is not true that cats do not fall and it is not true that if they fall they do not get hurt! In several years of first aid I have seen too many incredulous owners forced to change their minds in tears on an inert body: "But he always started sunbathing on the windowsill ..." NEVER trust the common sense of a cat! It is also true that there are many cats who walk on the railings all their life like tightrope walkers without ever falling: so why do some people fall? Given that the owner hardly ever sees his cat the moment he is falling, and therefore it is impossible to know what happened, I noticed one thing: for a while, I visited the litters of new strays on a glass counter. like those of the haberdashery: the kittens, even solidly resting on the surface, could see the void beneath them. Well, some were clearly terrified of this feeling and backed away to get to safety, others didn't care. Could it be that some cats do not have a sense of emptiness and that this predisposes them to fall? It is only a hypothesis, but I point it out. It is however possible to trace an identikit of the flying cat, on the basis of clinical cases: they are generally young cats, born the year before and therefore are found for the first season to be able to jump on windowsills and railings when the windows they are open, or cats of any age who have moved to a high floor during the winter, or those who have joint or vision problems. The few owners who are present when the cat falls report distractions (the butterfly that passes under its nose just as it is jumping) or errors of assessment (the cat that jumps on the doormat leaning to dry astride the railing) ... The cat falls mostly in the evening or at night, either because it is more active in these hours, or because the owners come back and open the windows only in the evening, and is found at dinner time or, poor thing, the morning after all. breakfast time. The season runs from about April to June, from the first heat to when ... the cats run out, but they are seen throughout the summer, including repeat offenders! Yes, because moreover these mysterious animals do not learn from their mistakes, and I have seen at least two return twice in a fortnight ... But here it also gets a bit of the owner's head, isn't it? What injuries can the flying cat get? The injuries of falls from a height range from an unharmed cat to a dead cat, passing through a whole series of accidents grouped under the English definition "high rise syndrome": fractures of the palate, limbs, back, diaphragmatic ruptures, bladder , lung, etc. A thrilling anthology that I hope you never have to experience. Extensive literature has been spent trying to correlate height and injury, but I have seen cats fall off the same floors and some live and others die: in my experience it is more important what they encounter on the descent, which can alter the flight attitude. and the type of soil they find on the ground. If your cat unfortunately falls from above, always take him to a veterinarian immediately, even if he seems unharmed: certain injuries may not be visible immediately, but only when it is too late ... If, on the other hand, you see him "unsafe" on a ledge, avoid shouting and calling him alarmed, frightening him and pushing him into rash movements: it is better to make a tempting movement of bowls and treats come from inside the house. But a lot can be done in terms of prevention: like some of my clients, without getting to move to the ground floor to prevent cats from falling. I always recommend equipping all windows with mosquito nets, while for balconies and terraces the nylon fishing net is fine, anchored and stretched up to at least two and a half meters high, preferably equipped with a "roof" also with a net . I lived on the fifth floor for several years and I assure you it works. Does it seem excessive to "armor" the balconies for the cat? You see ... with this solution I have always slept soundly (and without insects!). Trust me, it is better to think about it first than to despair later ”. Grazia Vittadini - veterinary surgeon For more information on how to "do" I refer you to the page on how to protect balconies, windows , overhead doors and garden, information contacts of specialized companies, or to many ideas for a do-it-yourself. or How to build a fence - (aka catrun)

Musica rilassante per i gatti. Questa è musica composta appositamente per i gatti ed è stata verificata per essere efficace da due studi universitari separati... RELAXING MUSIC FOR OUR CATS by MusicforCats Album One This is music composed specifically for cats and has been verified to be effective by two separate university studies. At first glance, the idea of cat music makes reasonable people think "whaaa?", But this is true. This song is taken from the first full album of species-specific music that was created using a process that has been tested and verified by independent scientists (University of Wisconsin-Madison and Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine). The release of the album further promotes our goal of providing enrichment for animals based on the unique perception, communication and development of each species. This music was designed from the ground up to appeal to cat sensitivity, just like human music is designed to appeal to humans. If we want to connect with our cats through sound in a meaningful way, shouldn't we try to hear the world as they hear it? Brain development and cat vocalizations are the foundation of this music, making it a new and unique form of communication and environmental enrichment that can improve the relationship between you and your feline companion. For more information on the background of this music and the results of independent studies, visit our website: musicforcats.com
