Noble Grain, Sterilized Beef
Summary
Exclusion Noble Grain, Adult Sterilized Beef is a complete and balanced dry cat food formulated with dehydrated beef as the first ingredient to provide a concentrated, high-quality protein source for lean muscle maintenance.
This monoprotein format focuses on a single animal protein to simplify digestion and minimize the risk of food sensitivities.
Rice serves as the sole cereal grain, offering highly digestible carbohydrates that deliver consistent energy without the inclusion of wheat, corn, or soy.
A tailored mineral content with controlled magnesium (0.08%), calcium (0.7%), and phosphorus (0.6%) supports urinary tract health and helps maintain strong bones.
Salmon oil enriches the formula with omega-3 fatty acids to promote skin integrity and coat shine, while balanced fats support overall immune function.
Prebiotic fibers, such as fructo-oligosaccharides and mannan-oligosaccharides, foster a healthy gut microbiome and aid in nutrient absorption.
Natural psyllium husks and lignocellulose provide adequate fiber to reduce hairball formation and facilitate their gentle passage through the digestive tract.
Antioxidant-rich Mediterranean superfoods, including pomegranate and mixed berry extracts, combat oxidative stress and protect cellular health.
Tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils serve as natural preservatives, preserving product freshness and palatability without the need for synthetic additives.
Pros:
- Monoprotein Source: Focus on dehydrated beef supports lean muscle maintenance and reduces the risk of protein sensitivities.
- Single Noble Grain: Rice offers digestible energy with minimal starch variability, eliminating the need for wheat, corn, and soy.
- Mineral Control: Controlled magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus help maintain urinary tract comfort and bone health.
- Skin and Coat Health: Salmon oil–derived omega-3 fatty acids nourish skin and enhance coat shine.
- Digestive Support: Fructo-oligosaccharides and mannan-oligosaccharides help balance intestinal flora and enhance nutrient absorption.
- Natural Antioxidants: Mediterranean berry extracts and tocopherols protect cells from oxidative damage and preserve food freshness.
Cons:
- Plant Protein Variability: Pea inclusion adds non-animal protein that cats may not completely utilize.
- Reliance on Rice Carbohydrates: Rice, as a single grain, contributes to a moderate carbohydrate level that may not suit cats requiring higher protein ratios.
- Use of Wood Substances: Lignocellulose serves as a filler fiber, providing minimal nutritional value beyond aiding in hairball control.
- Low Moisture Content: With just 8% moisture, regular access to water is crucial for supporting hydration and urinary health.
- Moderate Fat Content: At 12% crude fat, highly active cats might require supplemental fat sources for optimal energy.

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.
