Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated using antiFel d1 IgY antibodies in cat food to reduce the allergen Fel d1 on their hair, which is a major cause of cat allergies.
  • Over 12 weeks, cats fed with this specially formulated food showed an average 47% reduction in active Fel d1 levels on their hair, especially in those with initially high allergen levels.
  • The results suggest that feeding cats with antiFel d1 IgY can effectively lower Fel d1 exposure, potentially helping allergy sufferers by decreasing allergen spread from cats.]

4/n 2. 猫の食事:唾液や被毛中の活性型Fel d 1が減少してくるまでには、食事を開始してから、被毛が1週間(より減少するのは3週間後)、唾液は少なくても3週間は必要のようです。 https://t.co/nAYoifrxkE https://t.co/862YavsRTg https://t.co/538216P17d

Has the world gone mad? If you are allergic to cats, don't have them! Choose a dog or another pet but don't feed your cat a completely synthesised diet just to protect an allergic human - COMPLETELY CRASY IN MY EYES!... https://t.co/QAnZxLNW5P

@MoonCatHana Did you know there's food for your kitties that have Fel D 1 antibodies in it? Chickens that hang out with cats create this antibody and it ends up in their eggs. Kitties that eat those egss make less allergins. https://t.co/YK5kTqPH8M

There are so many beautiful snake species out there, I love the pudgy constrictor snakes, but garter snakes can have the most beautiful patterns, great choice! Did you hear there are some promising results regarding cat allergy syptoms when feeding special food? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30851084/
