Summary
Nutrican Sterilised is a dry food designed for adult cats after sterilization.
It focuses on lean protein support, controlled fat levels, and urinary health.
Chicken meat meal (20%) is the primary ingredient, delivering a concentrated source of animal protein that supports muscle mass in neutered cats.
Dried chicken (16%) and dried turkey (4%) add additional animal proteins to improve amino acid balance and diversify protein sources.
Rice and corn provide carbohydrates for energy and fiber but also raise plant content in a formula intended for obligate carnivores.
Fat is supplied through chicken fat and herring oil, both of which contribute omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids important for coat condition and inflammation regulation.
Brewer’s yeast, dried algae, and mannan-oligosaccharides provide digestive support, which can aid in nutrient absorption and microbiome stability.
Taurine is included at a high level of 2,000 mg/kg, ensuring coverage of feline cardiovascular and visual health needs.
The ash content is listed at 8.6%, indicating a relatively high mineral load, which may be worth noting for cats with specific urinary sensitivities.

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.
