Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pet food and relates to a composition that promotes hair removal in pets, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cats have a natural instinct to lick their fur, but this behavior can also pose potential risks. Hair that cannot be vomited up gets trapped in the cat's stomach, gradually forming small, indigestible balls. Some of this hair will be excreted in feces, while some will be vomited out. However, over time, a large amount of indigestible hair trapped in the cat's digestive tract can accumulate and form knots that are difficult to expel, blocking the intestines. This can lead to lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation, severely impacting the cat's digestive health.
[0003] To prevent or treat hairballs, cats need to be given hairball remedies regularly to help them expel hairballs. Currently, commercially available hairball remedies mainly include cat grass tablets and hairball paste. Hairball paste primarily promotes natural hair removal by lubricating the digestive tract with oils; however, long-term use can affect the absorption of nutrients by the intestines and may cause diarrhea. Cat grass tablets are generally not palatable, and if some cats don't like them, it can affect the hairball removal effect.
[0004] Therefore, how to design a product that does not affect animal health, is palatable, and has excellent hair removal effect is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a composition that promotes pet hair removal, its preparation method and application.

[0007] This invention creatively designs a composition to promote hairball removal in pets. The spruce extract in the composite cellulose DR04 is an insoluble fiber that, upon entering the intestines, forms a loose mesh structure to disperse hair, promoting intestinal peristalsis and helping cats expel hairballs through defecation. Compared to traditional fibers, spruce extract has a more flexible structure and is less irritating to the intestines. The spruce extract is compounded with apple fiber powder, beet extract, and psyllium husk powder; these four ingredients work synergistically to achieve both encapsulation and propulsion in promoting hairball removal, thus improving efficiency. The composition also contains chicken, probiotics, and digestive coenzymes, further promoting hairball removal, improving the intestinal mucosal barrier, and enhancing palatability, making it more suitable for pet consumption.

[0064] Test Example 1 This test case examines the hair removal effect of a composition that promotes hair removal in pets.
[0065] One hundred and fourteen healthy adult cats, randomly selected by sex and weighing between 3.5 and 5 kg, were randomly divided into 19 groups of six cats each. Eighteen groups were experimental, and one group was a control. All cats had not been given any hairball remedies within the six months prior to the experiment. Each cat was housed individually in a cage. Necessary vaccinations and deworming were performed before the experiment, and the cages were cleaned daily to maintain cleanliness. During the experiment, feeding began at 8:00 AM daily. Each experimental group was fed 100g of basal diet supplemented with 10g of the hairball-promoting compositions obtained in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-6. The control group was fed only 110g of basal diet. 400mL of clean drinking water was provided daily, and the cats' eating habits and mental state were observed for adverse reactions such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting.
[0066] On days 7, 14, and 21 of the experiment, all feces of the cats were collected that day. It was observed whether any cat hair was excreted. The cat hair in the feces was separated, rinsed with clean water, and dried in a drying oven at 65°C until constant weight. The weight was then recorded.
[0067] The stool scoring criteria are as follows: 0-1 points: Difficulty in defecation, hard or liquid stool; 2-3 points: Dry pellets, small hard lumps or unformed stool; 4-5 points: Formed, moist stool, retaining its original shape.
[0068] The vomiting severity scoring criteria are as follows: 0-1 points: Vomiting, with hair in the vomit; 2-3 points: Dry heaving, no vomit; 4-5 points: No vomiting.
[0069] The scoring criteria for hair smoothness are as follows: 0-1 point: Hair is messy, tangled, and dull; 2-3 points: Hair is slightly frizzy but not tangled; 4-5 points: Hair is smooth and shiny.
[0070] The pet's mental state score results are shown in Table 1 below: The results showed that after taking the pet hair removal promotion composition prepared according to the present invention, the pets had normal bowel movements and no obvious vomiting. The smoothness of their fur was similar to that of the control group, indicating that taking the pet hair removal promotion composition prepared according to the present invention does not affect the pets' mental state and has good palatability.
[0071] Table 2 shows the total weight of hair excreted in pet feces (unit: g): The results showed that during the experiment, the amount of hair excretion in the group taking the hair removal-promoting composition prepared according to this invention showed an increasing trend, while the amount of hair excretion in the feces of the control group cats did not change significantly throughout the process. If the spruce extract and beet extract were not prepared using the specific preparation method of this invention, the amount of hair excretion would decrease significantly; similarly, if the specific digestive coenzyme combination in this invention was not used, the amount of hair excretion would also decrease. Changing the compounding method of DR04 cellulose, especially by omitting the spruce extract, resulted in a significant decrease in hair excretion, indicating a synergistic effect among the four components of DR04 cellulose; the absence of probiotics or digestive coenzymes also led to a significant decrease in hair excretion.
