Summary

Nutrience Original: Healthy Adult – Chicken Meal with Brown Rice is a complete and balanced dry food for adult cats.

Chicken meal, the first ingredient, provides a high-quality and digestible protein source for muscle maintenance.

Brown rice and oatmeal deliver energy through slow-digesting, easily absorbed carbohydrates.

Antioxidants from blueberries, cranberries, and carrots strengthen immunity and support a healthy heart.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, sourced from salmon oil and flaxseed, promote skin health and a glossy coat.

Prebiotics, chicory root, and beet pulp enhance digestive health by supporting beneficial gut bacteria.

Taurine fortification ensures cardiovascular health and supports vision, which is essential for adult cats.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein Source: Chicken meal as the first ingredient provides essential amino acids to maintain strong muscles and overall health.
  • Rich in Digestive Support: Prebiotics, chicory root, and beet pulp aid digestion and support nutrient absorption, improving gut health.
  • Immune Boosting Formula: Antioxidants from cranberries, blueberries, and vitamin C work together to enhance the immune system and fight free radicals.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Salmon oil and flaxseed deliver omega fatty acids to reduce shedding and support a vibrant coat.
  • Taurine Enrichment: Includes 0.15% taurine to support heart function and maintain clear vision, meeting AAFCO standards.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Protein Content: At 28%, the protein level may not fully support highly active cats or those requiring a higher protein intake.
  • Grain Inclusion: Brown rice and oatmeal, while digestible, may not be ideal for cats sensitive to grains or those requiring a grain-free diet.
  • Ash Content: The 7.5% ash level may raise concerns for cats prone to urinary issues or needing a lower mineral load.
  • Complex Ingredient List: The extensive formula may not appeal to owners seeking a simpler, minimalistic ingredient profile.

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.
