Future of digestibility testing in cat nutrition

A recent study has identified protocol requirements for in-home cat food digestibility testing.

Researchers at Wageningen University found that digestibility trials with privately owned cats, have the potential to produce highly representative data for the target population, but validated protocols are required. In their recently published study, the researchers determined the protocol requirements of in-home cat food digestibility testing. To evaluate the quality of formulations, ingredients, and processing technologies, pet food companies routinely conduct digestibility testing on the
