Summary
Happy Cat Minkas Kitten Care Poultry is a dry cat food for kittens from the 5th week of age.
The primary protein source is poultry (31%), providing essential amino acids for growth and muscle development.
Wheat, maize flour, and potatoes supply digestible carbohydrates to meet the energy needs of young, growing cats.
Oils and fats contribute to the 18% crude fat content, delivering omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health.
The formula includes yucca schidigera (0.03%) to help minimize stool odour and promote a cleaner litter box experience.
Crude fibre at 2.5% and desugared beet pulp support digestive health and regularity.
Added vitamins (A, D3, E) and minerals are tailored to meet the nutritional requirements of developing kittens and strengthen the immune system.
Pros:
High protein content: 32% crude protein, supporting optimal growth and muscle development in kittens.
Balanced fat levels: 18% crude fat with omega-6 (3%) and omega-3 (0.3%) fatty acids for healthy skin, coat, and energy.
Digestive support: Includes cellulose, beet pulp, and apple pomace to promote digestion and regular bowel movements.
Tailored vitamins and minerals: Enriched with vitamin A (15,000 IU), D3 (900 IU), and E (110 mg) to support immunity and growth.
Cons:
Contains grains: Includes wheat and maize, which may not suit kittens with grain sensitivities.
Moderate ash content: 7% crude ash could require monitoring for kittens prone to urinary health issues.

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.
