Cats naturally produce an allergen
Cats produce a protein called Fel d 1 in their saliva. When they groom, it spreads across their fur and into your home, causing you to sneeze and sniffle.
Chickens can produce special egg antibodies called IgY that are designed to bind to Fel d 1, the main protein in cats that causes allergies. When cats eat food containing these antibodies, the IgY can attach to Fel d 1 in their saliva and reduce how much active allergen is spread onto their fur, which may lower environmental exposure to the allergen (Satyaraj et al., 2019).
Fel d 1 is the main protein that causes cat allergies. It is made in cats’ skin glands and saliva. When cats groom themselves, the protein spreads onto their fur and into the air as tiny particles called dander. In people who are allergic, the immune system reacts to Fel d 1 as if it were harmful, which leads to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes (Nielsen et al., 2010).
Scientists explain that the main cat allergen, called Fel d 1, is a protein made by cats in their skin and saliva. When cats groom themselves, this protein spreads onto their fur and into the environment. New research shows that special antibodies called IgY, which are made in chickens, can be used to bind to Fel d 1 and reduce its active form. These antibodies are produced when chickens are exposed to Fel d 1 in a controlled way, and they are collected from egg yolks. When cats eat food containing these IgY antibodies, the antibodies can attach to Fel d 1 in the cat’s saliva and lower how much active allergen is spread around (Hossenbaccus et al., 2022).
Scientists found that when chickens are given a safe, controlled exposure to a cat allergen called Fel d 1, their bodies make special proteins called IgY antibodies. These antibodies go into the egg yolks. When cats eat these egg-based ingredients, the antibodies can bind to Fel d 1 and reduce how active the allergen is on the cat’s fur (Matulka et al., 2020). SaFeline pet is committed to partnering with farms that uphold ethical farming practices and ensuring our manufacturing facility follows stringent health and safety precautions.
