I assume that this is the time it takes foor to leave the stomach. For food in general to move completely through the system is 4 to 6 days. A cat or dog passes food through its system inless that half the time of a man. When looking at meat a dog or cat was ment to eat meat but man was not so guess what happens to the meat after 3 days!

I try not to think about that.
