Free Acres - Organic Free-Run Chicken Recipe for Adult Cats
Summary
Gather Free Acres – Organic Free-Run Chicken Recipe for Adult Cats is a grain-free dry cat food formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for adult cats using certified organic and ethically sourced ingredients.
The first ingredient, organic chicken, serves as the primary protein source, offering high-quality, easily digestible animal protein to support lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
Organic dehydrated chicken further enhances the protein density of the formula, contributing to the 30% crude protein content, which is appropriate for maintaining muscle mass in active adult cats.
Organic peas and lentils provide plant-based protein and fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting satiety, which can aid in weight control.
Chicken fat, preserved with mixed tocopherols, provides a concentrated energy source and essential fatty acids, while also contributing to the 16% crude fat level that supports healthy skin and coat.
Organic flaxseed adds omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid, which help reduce inflammation and support a healthy skin barrier and glossy coat.
Blueberries and cranberries are included for their antioxidant properties, which help support immune function and may contribute to urinary tract health.
The formula includes taurine at 0.21%, an essential amino acid for cats that supports heart function, vision, and reproductive health.
With a metabolizable energy of 3651 kcal/kg and a carbohydrate content of 30.5%, the food provides a balanced energy profile suitable for both indoor and outdoor adult cats.
Vitamins and chelated minerals, such as zinc proteinate and iron proteinate, are included to enhance nutrient absorption and support overall metabolic function.

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.
