There are so many nutrients, nutrients needed by dogs and cats in order to continue to live healthily. Differences in the digestive system, causing differences in nutrients needed by both.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
The human body can not produce enough vtamin C, therefore we need additional vitamin C from fruit or a multivitamin. As with the dogs and cats, they can produce their own Vitamin C in the body.
Vitamin A (retinol)
Vitamin A is needed by dogs and cats to keep body cells healthy. Dogs are able to process carotenoids (vitamin A inactive) are derived from plants. Cats do not have some of the enzymes needed to convert carotenoids into vitamin A active, therefore the cat needs to eat meat in order to get vitamin A from the active prey such as mice, rabbits, birds, etc..
Vitamin B (Niacin)
Neither dogs nor cats can not produce niacin. Dogs have two forms of niacin in the active form and the form of tryptophan. Dogs can transform tryptophan into niacin active. Cats can not change the tryptophan to niacin, so cats should get niacin with food.
Arginine
Arginine is a protein amino acid-forming materials. Arginine is required in many metabolic processes.
Dogs are not very sensitive to arginine deficiency in food. Dogs have enzymes that can help provide arginine from the body.
Cats can not produce arginine and is very sensitive to this deficiency. Cats need lots of protein and arginine are needed to help remove the remains of a protein that has been used in order not to accumulate and poison the body.
Taurine
As well as arginine, taurine is an amino acid, taurine difference is not material-forming protein. Taurine is spread throughout the body tissues. Required to maintain a healthy heart, retina, bile and reproduction.
Cats must eat taurine in active form. Taurine is only found in meat. Dogs can produce their own taurine in the body.
Felinine
Felinine is a chemical produced only by cats. Felinine made of sulfur-containing amino acid called Cysteine. Cats are the only living things that require large amounts of cysteine to produce felinine. Until now felinine functions in the body of a cat is not known with certainty. Allegedly associated with the disposal of the remains of metabolism.
Number of Protein In Food
Protein and nutrients found in food are not everything can be digested and absorbed by the body. A good diet is a high percentage of undigested and absorption. Of the entire protein can be absorbed, about 20% is used for growth and about 12% for basic needs (maintenance).
While dogs will use the 12% to the growth and 4% for maintenance. In other words, cats need more protein than dog food. Therefore, do not give dog food to cats, because of inadequate nutritional needs of cats.
Arachidonic Acid (prospect Arakidonat)
Arachidonic acid are essential fatty acids (can not be produced by the body) are important in the formation of energy and fat burning. Dogs can make these compounds by converting the compound linoleic acid (linoleic acid) to arachidonic acid.
Cats can not change the linoleic acid into arachidonic acid, because it does not have a liver enzyme that is needed. Therefore, arachidonic acid essential for cats but not dogs.
When Hunger Strikes
The burning of body fat cats are less efficient. Burning of large amounts of fat can cause a condition called hepatic lipidosis. Therefore you should never puasakan fat cat, because it heightens the risk of death.
Differences Between Dogs And Cats
Sunday, April 8, 2012
Discussion of this article is the Difference Between Dogs and Cats : Dogs and cats are two types of living things are much used as a pet or pet Klangenan by humans. Long before the dog reared by humans, because it is reactive. As with the cats, new cats from many pet animals made about one of the last century.
Dogs and cats have a much different nature, such as earth and heaven. Dogs are more reactive, anxious to follow where their owners go and seek the attention of the owner. To show the assumption that dogs are very faithful and loyal to the human owners. Other case with the cat, the cat seems to have high self esteem and likes to sleep for hours in a chair or the owner's lap. Presumption and pride to prompt for a cat owner, when the cat calls himself as the owner or employer. This includes admission came when his name is called or even follow its owner everywhere to go. Actual difference reactive nature of dogs and cats prefer to sleep, the body metabolism is affected by the system, respectively.
Dogs are omnivores (eating both meat and vegetation) . Dogs can live by eating only plants, like rice, corn, wheat, etc.. therefore it is dogs have a longer intestine of cats, which allows the process of digestion and absorption of various types of food more perfect. In addition to the amount of food can be digested even more. Dogs can use or eat meat and vegetation but, naturally, a major dog food is meat. means the dog can only live off plants, but even better if he also eat meat.
Cats are carnivores / meat eater true . Cats pets can not live if they do not eat meat. His intestines are much shorter than the dog's intestines and can only digest food in small amounts. Therefore, cats tend to prefer to sleep to save energy. Approximately 14-18 hours a day used the cat to sleep.
Many miracles and privileges of a cat that makes men in awe. Starting from the ability to always land on their feet when dropped from a height of up to a variety of stories and legends about cats since the days of ancient Egypt, medieval to modern times.
