Summary
Avenal Cat BabyCat is a complete dry food for kittens from 2 to 12 months old and for pregnant or lactating cats, providing the concentrated nutrition intended for growth and reproductive stages.
Its first ingredient is dehydrated poultry protein (35%), which supplies an identified animal-protein source to help support the development and maintenance of lean body tissue.
With 36% crude protein, 17% crude fat, and 3,900 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, the formula provides a nutrient- and energy-dense profile suited to the elevated demands stated for growing kittens and reproductive females.
Calcium at 1.78% and phosphorus at 1.2% provide two key minerals involved in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth during growth.
The added taurine level of 1,000 mg/kg supports the normal function of the heart and vision, two essential feline nutritional needs.
EPA plus DHA is reported at 0.43%, and the product specifically identifies DHA as supporting cognitive and vision development in kittens.
Omega-3 fatty acids at 0.66% and omega-6 fatty acids at 2.1% contribute to skin-barrier function and coat condition.
The formula uses poultry fat as its named fat source and includes dehydrated fish protein at 4%, adding animal-derived ingredients beyond the primary poultry protein.

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.
