Protein hydrolysates positively affect intestinal function in both humans and animals, but their impact on gut health the microbial profile cats has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, a total of 30 adult were randomly assigned to one three dietary treatments for 60-day feeding trial. The as follows: (1) basal diet (CON), (2) containing 15% powdered chicken protein hydrolysate (HP15%), (3) liquid (HL15%). Compared CON group, HP15% group had decreased calprotectin levels fecal gases emissions (p < 0.05). A higher abundance Bacteroidota, Veillonellaceae, Bacteroidaceae, while lower Firmicutes was showed HL15% than that At genus level, compared with an increased Bacteroides spp. Bifidobacterium showed, whereas reduced Alloprevotella presented groups metabolomic analysis revealed 1405 distinct metabolites between 0.05, VIP-pred-OPLS-DA > 1), level cholic acid isodeoxycholic 1910 4-coumaryl alcohol enterolactone summary, study suggested partially replacing meat helps regulate community metabolite improves health.
