Product Summary

Econature: Adult Cat Chicken Formula is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for adult cats of all breeds to meet their daily nutritional needs.

The formula features dehydrated chicken protein (20%) as the primary protein source, supported by cereals and rice as carbohydrate sources.

It includes chicken fat for essential fatty acids and liver flavor for enhanced palatability.

With a 27% protein content and a 10% fat content, it is designed to provide moderate energy for adult cats.

Enriched with taurine (1000 mg/kg), mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), and beta-glucan, it supports heart health, immunity, and digestion.

 

Pros:

  • Animal Protein Source: Dehydrated chicken protein (20%) provides a digestible source of essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
  • Digestive Support: Includes MOS and beta-glucan to promote gut health and enhance immunity.
  • Essential Fatty Acids: Chicken fat supplies omega fatty acids for skin health and a shiny coat.
  • Balanced Micronutrients: Fortified with vitamins A, D3, and E, along with trace minerals like zinc, copper, and manganese, for overall health.
  • Taurine Addition: Provides 1000 mg/kg of taurine to support cardiac and retinal function in adult cats.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Protein Content: The 27% protein level is lower than that of some premium cat foods, potentially making it less suitable for active or muscular cats.
  • Grain Inclusion: Contains cereals and rice, which may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities or those on a low-carbohydrate diet.
  • High Ash Content: Crude ash at 8% may indicate a higher mineral load, which might not suit cats prone to urinary issues.
  • No Fresh Meat: Relies on dehydrated chicken protein without including fresh or minimally processed animal ingredients.

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
