Farm Poultry
by LendaSummary
Lenda Farm Poultry is a balanced dry food designed for cats of all lifestyles. It offers a high level of poultry-based protein from diverse sources, such as turkey, duck, and goose.
The recipe contains 56% poultry, including 10% fresh turkey, 10% duck, and 4% hydrolyzed duck liver. This rich and highly digestible protein source appeals to cats’ instincts.
With 32% crude protein and 17% crude fat, this formula supports muscle maintenance and provides energy, whether for active hunters or indoor cats needing weight control.
Joint health is prioritized with glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, which help maintain mobility and reduce inflammation.
Marine phytoplankton meal (krill) and fish oil deliver omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA (0.24%), promoting a shiny coat, healthy skin, and cognitive function.
The FAEC Inmune complex includes ginseng, turmeric, and green tea, offering immune-boosting antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties for overall vitality.
The FAEC Probio blend’s addition of probiotics like Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum enhances digestive health and promotes a balanced gut microbiome.
Fresh vegetables, such as carrots, green beans, and kohlrabi, provide natural fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that support immune function and overall well-being.
Pros:
- High-Quality Protein: Contains 56% poultry, including fresh turkey, duck, and hydrolyzed liver, delivering 32% crude protein to maintain muscle mass and satisfy carnivorous instincts.
- Joint Health Support: Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM help maintain joint mobility and reduce inflammation, particularly beneficial for aging or active cats.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Marine phytoplankton meal (krill) and fish oil provide essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support skin, coat, and brain health.

Cons:
- Moderate Protein Level: At 32%, the protein content may be lower than other high-protein formulas designed for active or highly carnivorous cats.
- Carbohydrate Inclusion: Potato, pea starch, and lentils contribute to carbohydrates, which may not align with the natural low-carb dietary needs of obligate carnivores.
- Higher Ash Content: With 7.5% crude ash, this formula may not be ideal for cats prone to urinary or kidney sensitivities.
- Omega-3 Levels: While omega-3 sources are included, the overall EPA and DHA content (0.24%) is relatively low compared to other skin and coat-focused formulas.
- Fat Content for Weight Control: At 17% fat, the energy density may be high for less active or overweight-prone cats, requiring portion control.

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.
