  1. The daily consumption, number of treatment days, number of cats accepting the feed and signs of intolerability observed were compared between a Lantharenol treated group (B; N = 10) and a negative control group (A; N = 5).
  2. 1 IAMS adult, rich in lamb, 24% dry matter
  3. 2 Complete feed is calculated by multiplying dry matter by the factor 1.12
  4. 3 Group means
  5. 4 One cat left 25% of its feed on 2 of 14 days
  6. 5 The highest dose of Lantharenol® was administered for 2 days, withdrawn for 2 days and then again given for 2 other days (re-challenge)
