Adult Duck & Turkey
Summary
Primordial Adult Duck & Turkey is a dry cat food designed to provide adult cats a complete and balanced diet.
The primary protein source is fresh turkey meat (35%), offering high-quality animal protein to support muscle maintenance and overall health.
Additional protein comes from dehydrated chicken proteins (16%) and dehydrated duck proteins (14%), enhancing the 33% crude protein content.
Sweet potatoes and peas are included as easily digestible carbohydrate sources, providing sustained energy and digestive support.
Turkey and chicken fats (6%) contribute to the formula’s 16% crude fat content, supporting energy needs and coat health.
Linseed (2%) and fish oil are added for their omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content, promoting skin hydration and coat condition.
Prebiotics like MOS (0.16%) and yucca schidigera and beet pulp support digestive health and help reduce stool odor.
The formula includes cranberry concentrate (0.004%) and lespedeza extract (0.028%) for antioxidant support and urinary tract health.
Pros:
High protein content: 33% crude protein sourced from turkey, chicken, and duck proteins, supporting muscle development and maintenance.
Digestive support: This supplement includes prebiotics such as MOS, yucca schidigera, and beet pulp to promote gut health and reduce stool odor.
Skin and coat health: Linseed and fish oil provide essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Urinary health support: Formulated with cranberry concentrate and lespedeza extract to help support urinary tract health.
Cons:
Moderate ash content: Contains 7.9% crude ash, which may need monitoring for cats with urinary sensitivities.
Presence of legumes: Includes peas and broad beans, which may not suit cats with legume sensitivities.
Multiple protein sources: Though high in animal proteins, using several types of protein may not be ideal for cats requiring limited ingredient diets.
No omega-3/6 ratios listed: The specific omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid ratios are not provided, making it challenging to assess skin and coat health balance.

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.
