Summary
Happy Cat Minkas Sterilised Poultry is a dry cat food formulated for neutered cats to support weight management and overall health.
The first ingredient is dried animal protein (22% from poultry), providing essential proteins for muscle maintenance.
Maize, wheat flour, and wheat serve as carbohydrate sources, supplying energy for daily activities.
With a reduced crude fat content of 9.0%, this diet helps prevent weight gain common in sterilised cats.
Lignocellulose and beet pulp contribute dietary fibre, promoting satiety and healthy digestion.
The inclusion of omega-6 (2.0%) and omega-3 (0.2%) fatty acids supports skin health and a shiny coat.
Yucca schidigera extract (0.04%) is added to help reduce stool odour, enhancing indoor living conditions.
Pros:
High-quality poultry protein: Contains 22% dried animal protein from poultry, offering essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
Weight management support: Reduced fat content of 9.0% prevents weight gain in neutered cats.
Digestive health: Includes lignocellulose and beet pulp, providing dietary fibre to promote healthy digestion and satiety.
Skin and coat health: Rich in omega-6 (2.0%) and omega-3 (0.2%) fatty acids, supporting skin integrity and a glossy coat.
Cons:
Use of grains: This product contains maize, wheat flour, and wheat, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
Moderate protein level: A crude protein content of 33.0% may be lower than some high-protein diets preferred for active cats.
Limited transparency in ingredient sourcing: The term “animal protein” lacks specificity regarding the exact animal sources used.

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.
