Vegetarian forage
The vegetarian forage is designed for the cats, which owners vegetarians. As cats - predators, and are necessary for them the materials which are only in meat (a taurine, arachidonic acid, vitamin A, B12 and Niacinum), veterinarians do not recommend to feed cats only with phytogenesis nutrition. The research which has positioned influence of a vegetarian forage has been carried out - 3 from 17 cats suffered from shortage of a taurine, vegetarian diets mismatched nutritiousness minimal requirements agree AAFCO. Cats can suffer from undereating while their owners assume that the forage meets all demands of their pupils. Authors of research did not recommend to use a diet as a unique source of nutrition for cats as the risk of appearance of illnesses bound to change of acidity of urine raises.
In vegetarian forages can add a taurine and other vital materials for cats. If these materials are absent, it is better not to feed with such forage at all. For example, without a taurine the eye retina soon attacks, accordingly a cat gets blind. Also animal fats as without them there are problems with coagulability of blood and reproduction of new cells should enter into a ration of cats necessarily. And more the cat cannot receive from vegetative nutrition vitamin A, only from animal (a liver, fish oil).
Some cats use vegetative nutrition, but as addition to the meat. In the pure state vegetables and fruit do not meet all demands of nutritiousness.
