Summary
Avenal Cat Sterilised is a complete dry food for sterilized adult cats of all breeds, including indoor and outdoor cats, with stated goals of supporting weight control, urinary health, digestion, hairball management, skin and coat condition, heart function, and vision.
Its first ingredient is dehydrated meat proteins, including poultry at 18%, which provides an animal-derived protein foundation for maintaining lean body tissue.
The formula provides 32% crude protein and 10% crude fat, supplying protein for muscle maintenance alongside dietary fat as an energy source.
With 3,433 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, the food provides a declared energy value that can be used when planning daily portions for a sterilized cat.
Beet pulp at 2.5% and cellulose fiber concentrate provide functional fiber that adds digestive bulk, supports stool passage, and aligns with the product’s satiety and hairball-control positioning.
Rosemary extract and tocopherols are included as natural antioxidants, which help protect dietary fats from oxidation.
The manufacturer also positions the formula for urinary support, although the specific urinary-health ingredients and calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium values are not provided.
Barley, wheat, corn gluten, and rice make this a grain-containing formula with several plant-derived carbohydrate sources in addition to its animal-protein ingredient.

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.
