Summary
Alleva Equilibrium: Kitten Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for kittens and pregnant or lactating cats.
Its primary ingredient is chicken, comprising 80% dehydrated and 20% fresh meat, providing a substantial protein source.
The inclusion of rice ensures high digestibility and quick energy release.
Enriched with natural antioxidants and soluble fibers from dried fruits and vegetables, it supports overall health.
The product is low in grains, focusing on animal-derived proteins and fats.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains 36% crude protein, primarily from chicken, supporting muscle development in growing kittens.
- Healthy Fat Levels: With 18% crude fat, it provides essential fatty acids for energy and healthy skin and coat.
- Digestive Support: This supplement includes chicory root, a source of inulin and FOS that promote beneficial gut bacteria and aid digestion.
- Natural Antioxidants: Enriched with dried fruits like blueberries and cranberries, offering antioxidants that support the immune system.
Cons:
- Moderate Carbohydrate Content: The presence of rice increases carbohydrate levels, which may not align with the obligate carnivore nature of cats.
- Lower Omega-3 Fatty Acids: This product contains 0.5% omega-3 fatty acids, which could be higher for optimal anti-inflammatory benefits.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
