Izincomo zokudla kwamakati akhulelwe nancelisayo

Ukudla okunempilo kwekati kubalulekile ngesikhathi likhulelwe futhi lincelisa. Ukungondleki ngendlela efanele kungabangela ukuthi amazinyane akhuluphale ngesikhathi ezalwa futhi awabeke engcupheni yokungenwa izifo ezithile, okuzonciphisa izinga lawo lokusinda.¹ Umgomo wethu uwukunikeza umsoco ophelele kubo bobabili umama namakati akhe. Nazi izinto ezihamba phambili zokudla okunomsoco:

1. Ukwanda kwama-calories ukuze ama-kittens akhule ngokuvumelana, futhi umama akhiqize ubisi olwanele.
2. Amaprotheni amaningi okukhula nokuthuthukiswa kwamakati.
3. Amafutha engeziwe ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zekhalori eziphakeme zikamama.
4. I-calcium eningi ne-phosphorus ekukhuleni kwamathambo kumakati kanye nokwanda kokukhiqizwa kobisi kumama.
5. Ukugaya okuphezulu ukunikeza ama-calories amaningi ekudleni okuncane.

Imibuzo esemqoka kanye nezimpendulo mayelana nezinto ezibalulekile zokudla okunomsoco kumakati ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Kungani ukwandisa ama-calories namafutha kubaluleke kangaka?

Ukwandisa ama-calories namafutha kubalulekile ngoba amakati akhulelwe nancelisayo anesidingo samandla aphezulu kakhulu. Ukondla (ukuncelisa) yisiteji empilweni yekati esidinga ama-calories amaningi. Phakathi nenkathi yokudla ekati elinempilo elidala, isidingo samandla sikhuphuka izikhathi ezingu-2-6.

Kuyini ukugaya futhi kungani kubaluleke kangaka?

I-Digestibility isilinganiso sokuthi kungakanani ukudla okudliwayo empeleni kugayeka umzimba wekati. Ukugaya kahle kubalulekile ngoba izidingo zamandla ziphezulu kakhulu futhi kunendawo encane emzimbeni wekati elikhulelwe.

Yini okufanele ngiyondle ikati lami elikhulelwe noma elincelisayo?

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukunikeza ikati elikhulelwe noma elincelisayo ukudla okungahlangabezana nezidingo zalo ezikhulayo. Sincoma ukuthi uqale ukunikeza ikati lakho I-Science Plan Kitten Food yekati lakho ngokushesha nje lapho uthola ukuthi likhulelwe. Lokhu kudla kucebile ngezakhi ezibalulekile futhi kusekela ukukhula kwamakati esibelethweni. Kungcono ngaso sonke isikhathi ukubonana nodokotela wezilwane ukuze uthole iseluleko sokudla okunempilo kwekati lakho elikhulelwe noma elincelisayo.

Imikhiqizo Yohlelo Lwesayensi eyenzelwe amakati akhulelwe noma abancelisayo:

Ukudla okusemathinini nezicabucabu zamakati

Lokhu kudla kufanele kunikezwe kanjani amakati akhulelwe noma ancanyana?

• Amakati akhulelwe: nikeza inani elikhonjisiwe ephaketheni. Qhubeka uphakela ikati lakho ukudla kuze kube yilapho ulunyulwa.
• Amakati ancancisayo: ngemva kokuzalwa kwamakati, ukudla kufanele kuhlale kutholakala kumama wawo. Lokhu kuzosiza ekwenzeni amazinyane ajwayele ukudla kwawo okuvamile futhi anikeze ikati ukudla okunamandla elikudingayo phakathi nalesi sikhathi sokuphila kwalo.

Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukukhulelwa emakatini?

Ngokuvamile, ukukhulelwa kuthatha isilinganiso sezinsuku ezingama-63-65.² Sincoma ukuthi uvakashele udokotela wakho wezilwane masonto onke ngenkathi ikati lakho likhulelwe kanye namakati ancelayo ukuze ahlole isisindo salo nokudla elikudlayo. Sicela ukhulume nodokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze uthole ukuthi ikati lakho kufanele lihlolwe kangaki phakathi nokukhulelwa nangemva kokuzalwa kwamakati.

Uwadlulisela nini amakati ukuze azincelise?

Ukulunyulwa kukamama ngokuvamile kwenzeka kancane kancane. Amakati amaningi aqala ukudla ukudla okuqinile emasontweni ama-3-4 ubudala. Ukulunyulwa kwekati ekati kufanele kuqedwe lapho eseneminyaka engama-6-10 ubudala.³

Imisebenzi eyinhloko yokunakekela izinyane lekati.

Kunconywa ukurekhoda isisindo, isihlalo, ukuthuthukiswa kanye nomsebenzi wekati njalo ezinsukwini ezingu-1-2 (ikakhulukazi emasontweni amabili okuqala okuphila)⁴ futhi uhlolwe njalo nodokotela wezilwane.
