Delcon
Adult Rich in Chicken
Summary
Delcon Adult Rich in Chicken is a dry formula for adult cats that centers its protein on dehydrated chicken (34%) to support lean muscle and strong palatability.
At 31% crude protein and 18% fat with a metabolizable energy of 4030 kcal/kg, it provides a calorie-dense profile suited to indoor–outdoor or more active adult cats that benefit from higher energy intake.
Chicken fat (12%) supplies concentrated energy and linoleic acid for skin and coat health, while liver hydrolysate contributes highly available amino acids and taste appeal.
Complementary carbohydrates from sweet potato, potato flakes, peas, and split peas provide digestible energy and fiber, while also adding plant-based proteins that round out the amino acid profile.
Digestive support comes from beet pulp and cellulose for stool quality, plus chicory root (a natural source of FOS and inulin) to nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
Brewer’s yeast and yeast extract (sources of MOS and beta-glucans) provide functional fibers that can help gut barrier function and immune resilience.
Salmon oil (0.5%) and linseed add omega-3 fatty acids that aid skin, coat, and anti-inflammatory balance, complementing omega-6s from chicken fat.
Taurine (2500 mg) and DL-methionine (5000 mg) supply key amino acids for heart, vision, and coat integrity in adult cats.
A measured mineral profile with calcium at 1.1% and phosphorus at 0.8%, alongside 7% ash, supports bone health and helps manage urinary mineral load.
Antioxidant and metabolic support is provided by vitamin E (500 mg/kg), vitamin A (20,000 IU/kg), vitamin D3 (1,750 IU/kg), and L-carnitine (50 mg) to assist fat utilization.

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.
