The recipe provides 30% crude protein, with 4% fresh beef delivering high biological value proteins to support muscle maintenance.
Prebiotics like FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) promote healthy gut flora, while yucca schidigera (0.1%) helps reduce fecal odor.
Omega-3 (0.5%) and omega-6 (2%) fatty acids maintain a soft, shiny coat, and vitamin A with taurine (1,100 mg) supports healthy vision.
Vegetables (4%) offer a natural source of fiber, aiding digestion and intestinal health.

Pros:
- High protein content: Contains 30% crude protein from fresh beef and animal derivatives, supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
- Digestive health: Enriched with prebiotics FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) to regulate intestinal bacterial flora.
- Omega fatty acids: These include 0.5% omega-3 and 2% omega-6 fatty acids for skin health and a shiny coat.

- Natural fiber: Vegetables (4%) provide fiber to support digestion and improve stool quality.
- Fecal odor control: Yucca schidigera (0.1%) reduces fecal odor for improved indoor living conditions.
Cons:
- Low fresh beef proportion: Only 4% of the formula contains fresh beef, which is lower than many premium adult cat formulas.
- Grain inclusion: Contains cereals such as rice (4%), which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
- Moderate fat content: At 12%, the fat level may not be sufficient for highly active or underweight cats.
- High ash content: With 9.5% crude ash, the formula may not be ideal for cats requiring a lower mineral load.
- Limited omega-3 content: The modest omega-3 fatty acid content (0.5%) limits its impact on coat health compared to higher levels.
- Unspecified vegetable derivatives: Vegetable components are not detailed, reducing transparency regarding ingredient quality.

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.
