Science Plan - Sterilised Cat Young Adult Chicken Dry

Hill’s Science Plan Adult Sterilised Cat Dry Food with Chicken is a dry formula for neutered adult cats (1–6 years) that targets lean body maintenance, digestive health, and urinary support.
The first ingredient is chicken and turkey meal (with 14% chicken; total poultry 23%), providing concentrated animal protein to sustain lean muscle after sterilization.
Additional protein from maize protein meal and pea protein boosts overall protein levels, while the animal-first ingredient helps deliver essential amino acids cats need for muscle maintenance.
At 31.8% crude protein, 10% fat, and 3569 kcal/kg ME, the calorie profile is geared toward weight control in less active sterilized cats without sacrificing muscle-supporting protein.
L-carnitine at 527.1 ppm supports fat metabolism and helps preserve lean mass during weight management.
The ActivBiome Multi-Benefit approach uses prebiotic fibers (oat bran and fructo-oligosaccharides) to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting regular stools, digestive comfort, and immune resilience through antioxidant support.
Controlled minerals—calcium 0.82%, phosphorus 0.69%, and magnesium 0.082%—help support a healthy urinary environment by limiting excess mineral concentration in urine.
Taurine at 0.28% supports normal heart function and vision, while omega-6 (2.38%) and omega-3 (0.39%) fatty acids from fish oil and plant oils contribute to skin and coat health.
Antioxidant vitamins and carotenoids, including vitamin E (527 IU/kg), vitamin C (96 ppm), and beta-carotene (1.85 ppm), help protect cells from oxidative stress.
The recipe also emphasizes L-lysine to support vitality by contributing to protein synthesis and maintenance of lean muscle, and it is not recommended for kittens or pregnant/nursing cats per the brand’s guidance.
