Summary

The Exclusion Noble Grain Adult Chicken formula is a complete dry diet designed to support adult cats with a focused single-source protein approach, highlighting dehydrated chicken as its primary ingredient.
Featuring a single high-quality cereal – rice, this recipe provides highly digestible carbohydrates that sustain steady energy levels and minimize digestive sensitivity.
The absence of chicken fat, wheat, soy, and corn reduces potential allergens and limits filler ingredients, resulting in a formulation that is both nutrient-dense and free from these common allergens.
Dual fat sources, pork fat and salmon oil, supply essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to support skin health, coat brightness, and anti-inflammatory processes.
A proprietary blend of Mediterranean superfoods—pomegranate, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries—delivers antioxidants to combat oxidative stress and preserve cellular health.
Natural fibers from psyllium husks, seeds, and wood lignocellulose enhance gastrointestinal motility and help prevent hairball formation while promoting their safe elimination.
Prebiotic fibers from chicory pulp, fructo-oligosaccharides, and mannan-oligosaccharides foster a balanced gut microbiome, improving digestion efficiency and nutrient absorption.
The balanced mineral profile, including calcium and phosphorus, supports healthy bone density and helps maintain urinary tract health by reducing the risk of crystal development.
An array of vitamins—A, D3, E, and B-complex—works synergistically to fortify immune defenses, support vision, and regulate metabolic functions.
Providing an estimated 3898 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, this formula meets the needs of both indoor and outdoor adult cats to maintain optimal body condition and activity levels.

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.
