TAMIAMI Adult
by ANFSummary
ANF: Adult is a dry cat food formulated for regular indoor and outdoor adult cats.
Its primary ingredient is chicken meal, providing a concentrated source of animal protein.
The product offers a guaranteed analysis of 32% crude protein and 20% crude fat, aiming to support muscle maintenance and energy requirements.
Additional components include ground brown rice, oats, beet pulp, and fish meal, contributing to the overall nutritional profile.
Pros:
- High Animal Protein Content: The first ingredient, chicken meal, provides a substantial source of animal-based protein essential for muscle maintenance in adult cats.
- Balanced Fat Levels: With a crude fat content of 20%, the food provides adequate energy and supports healthy skin and coat.
- Inclusion of Omega Fatty Acids: Ingredients like fish oil contribute omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health and anti-inflammatory functions.
- Added Fiber Sources: Beet pulp and oats supply dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gastrointestinal health.
Cons:
- Moderate Protein Level: A crude protein content of 32% may be considered moderate for obligate carnivores like cats, which typically thrive on higher protein diets.
- Presence of Carbohydrates: Ingredients such as ground white rice and oats introduce carbohydrates, which are not essential in high amounts for feline diets.
- Potential Allergenic Ingredients: The inclusion of beet pulp and fish meal could pose allergy risks for some cats sensitive to these components.
- Use of Chicken Fat as a Preservative: While chicken fat is an energy source, its use preserved with mixed tocopherols may not appeal to all cat owners seeking minimally processed ingredients.

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.
