Picart
Select - Kitten Chicken and Rice
Summary
Picart Select Kitten Chicken and Rice is a dry food developed for kittens up to 12 months old and suitable for pregnant or lactating queens, focusing on high digestibility, energy density, and immune support through animal-based nutrition.
Dehydrated chicken meat (40%) is the primary ingredient, supported by egg, hydrolyzed chicken, and dried plasma, contributing over 85% of the protein from animal sources for optimal growth and tissue development.
Rice is the carbohydrate base, providing digestible starches without using maize, soy, or potatoes, maintaining a simple and hypoallergenic grain profile.
Chicken fat is the main lipid source, contributing to the formula’s high energy density (20% fat) needed for kittens’ rapid growth and caloric demands.
Yeast and malt extracts add palatability and micronutrients, while MOS prebiotics help establish beneficial gut flora to support digestive and immune maturation.
Taurine is present at 1,720 mg/kg, well above standard inclusion rates, supporting critical cardiovascular and vision functions during development.
The formula avoids artificial colorants, flavors, sugars, and preservatives, with production entirely based in the EU under strict ingredient controls.

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.
