Whiskas
1+ Adult with Chicken
Summary
Whiskas 1+ Adult with Chicken is a complete dry food formulated for adult cats aged 1 year and over, designed to meet daily maintenance needs.
The first ingredient is cereals, indicating a grain-based recipe in which carbohydrates contribute a significant portion of calories alongside some plant-derived protein.
Protein is supplied by a mix of meat and animal derivatives (including chicken at 4% in the brown kibbles), fish derivatives, and vegetable protein extracts, delivering 30% crude protein to help maintain lean muscle.
At 11.5% fat, the energy level is moderate and suitable for most adult cats, whether indoor or outdoor, without special calorie restrictions.
Dried beet pulp (2%), peas, and carrots provide fermentable and insoluble fibers that support digestive health, stool quality, and satiety.
The formula declares balanced minerals for lower urinary tract support and specifies calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 0.97%, nutrients that also underpin bone and metabolic health.
Vitamin E at 73.9 mg/kg, together with other antioxidants, helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports immune defenses.
Taurine is supplemented (1090 mg as declared) to support normal heart function and vision, essential in adult feline nutrition.
Vitamin D3 at 750 IU/kg aids calcium and phosphorus utilization for skeletal maintenance and overall metabolism.
Zinc (63.7 mg as zinc sulfate) and yeast contribute to healthy skin, coat condition, and nutrient utilization.

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.
