Sterilised Adult Beef & Rice
by ProlifeSummary
Prolife Sterilised Adult Beef & Rice is a complete dry food tailored for sterilized cats, featuring fresh boneless beef (30%) as the primary protein source.
With 40% total beef content and added rice, this formula supports lean muscle maintenance and provides easily digestible carbohydrates for energy.
The recipe includes 11% fat and a reduced calorie profile to help manage weight in sterilized cats.
Prebiotics like chicory inulin and beet pulp promote digestive health by enhancing gut flora and fiber intake.
A well-balanced mineral composition, including calcium and phosphorus, supports bone health while maintaining a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.5.
Pros:
- High-quality protein: Contains 33% protein, sourced mainly from beef and supported by 10% dehydrated beef for lean muscle maintenance.
- Weight management: With 11% fat content and moderate calories (3,635 kcal/kg), it is tailored for sterilized cats prone to weight gain.
- Digestive health: Includes chicory inulin (0.1%) and beet pulp to promote gut flora and improve nutrient absorption.
- Enriched with taurine: Supplies 620 mg/kg taurine for heart and vision health.
- Balanced minerals: Calcium (1.6%) and phosphorus (1.1%) levels support bone structure and urinary health.
Cons:
- Moderate fiber content: At 2.9%, the fiber level may not fully address the needs of cats requiring higher fiber for digestion.
- Grain inclusion: White sorghum and rice may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
- Lower omega-3: Omega-3 fatty acids (0.16%) are relatively low compared to other premium diets.
- Limited flavor diversity: Relies on beef and chicken, potentially less appealing to cats preferring a wider range of protein sources.

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.
