Summary

Optimanova Adult Salmon & Rice is a premium dry cat food formulated for adult cats with an average activity level.

The recipe features 40% fresh salmon and 30% dehydrated salmon, making it rich in high-quality, digestible animal protein.

This grain-inclusive formula contains 10% rice and maize, which provide digestible carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Omega-3 (0.9%) and omega-6 (3.0%) fatty acids, sourced from fish oil, support cardiovascular health, skin regeneration, and a shiny coat.

Enriched with prebiotics like FOS (0.2%) and MOS (0.1%), it promotes intestinal health and a balanced gut microbiome.

Essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E (550 mg/kg) and zinc (155 mg/kg), enhance immune function and overall wellness.

Its moderate crude protein content of 31.5% and fat content of 16.5% provide balanced nutrition for adult cats.

Manufactured with natural antioxidants and no artificial preservatives, this diet prioritizes health and longevity.

 

Pros:

  • High fresh salmon content: 40% fresh salmon ensures an excellent protein and omega fatty acids source.
  • Digestive support: FOS and MOS prebiotics promote a healthy gut environment and aid nutrient absorption.
  • Omega fatty acid balance: Omega-3 and omega-6 promote a healthy coat and support cardiovascular and nervous system health.
  • Natural antioxidants: These include tocopherols for anti-aging effects and protection against free radicals.
  • Balanced energy: 16.5% fat and 10% rice provide sustained energy for active cats.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate protein content: At 31.5%, it may not be ideal for highly active or protein-demanding cats.
  • Use of maize: Maize, while providing energy, is less digestible for some cats and may cause sensitivities.
  • Presence of plant-based proteins: Ingredients like maize gluten and potato protein may dilute the animal protein 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.
