Summary
Ultima Adult Salmon is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, offering a balanced nutritional profile with a focus on skin and coat health, digestibility, and palatability.
The first ingredient is salmon, including head, bone, and flesh, which provides a natural source of high-quality animal protein and essential fatty acids that support lean muscle maintenance and skin health.
With a crude protein content of 34% and fat at 14%, the formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile suitable for active adult cats, supporting energy needs and muscle development.
Omega-6 fatty acids are present at 2.4%, and while omega-3 levels are not specified, the inclusion of salmon and fish-based hydrolyzed proteins suggests a contribution to anti-inflammatory support and coat shine.
Biotin and zinc are added to enhance skin barrier function and promote a glossy coat, addressing common dermatological concerns in adult cats.
Digestibility is supported by the use of hydrolyzed animal proteins and a mix of grains and legumes, which may aid in nutrient absorption and reduce gastrointestinal stress.
Vitamins A, D3, and E are included at functional levels to support vision, bone health, and antioxidant protection, respectively.
Taurine at 1100 mg/kg supports cardiac and retinal function, which are essential for feline health.
Ammonium chloride is included to help regulate urinary pH, potentially reducing the risk of urinary crystal formation.
The product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor adult cats, offering a versatile option for various lifestyles and activity levels.

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.
