Effect of compound polysaccharide on immunity, antioxidant capacity, gut microbiota, and serum metabolome in kittens
CP supplementation can enhance immune function in kittens and increase the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota, and does not lead to generalized inflammation. Dietary supplementation with CP may generate nutritional benefits in kittens, and this study offers insight into the development of functional pet food for kittens.
