New #UofG research offers guidance on how often you should feed your cat 🐱

While I love pet nutrition, my first love is amino acid metabolism. An old set of data that we finally published looking at the effects of dietary cysteine on methionine and cysteine oxidation in baby pigs. @ABSc_UofG

Júlia Pezzali is on a roll! Back to back papers in JAS, this time the focus is on creation of a semi-synthetic diet deficient in methionine that the cats would eat! @ABSc_UofG @OvcPetNutrition
