Winner Plus
Kittencat with Turkey - New Recipe
Summary
Winner Plus Kittencat is a high-energy dry food designed for kittens and lactating or pregnant cats, emphasizing digestibility and animal-based nutrition.
The primary protein source is 21% dried turkey, supported by 4% dried chicken and 4% dried fish, offering a diverse mix of animal-based proteins.
The formula includes maize and rice for carbohydrates, with added salmon oil and linseed oil contributing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
It is gluten-free and made without wheat, soy, sugar, artificial colorants, or flavorings, aligning with a clean-label philosophy.
Functional ingredients, such as dried beet pulp, inulin, brewer’s yeast, and lecithin, support digestion, nutrient absorption, and coat health.
With 34% protein, 22% fat, 2% fiber, and 6.5% ash, the dry matter values yield approximately 37.8% protein and 31.6% carbohydrates.
Pros:
High energy and fat: At 22% fat and 4,115 kcal/kg, the formula is suitable for the rapid growth and energy needs of kittens and nursing mothers.
Multi-animal protein sources: Includes turkey, chicken, fish, egg, and animal protein extract for a diverse and complete amino acid profile.
Rich omega content: Provides 0.6% omega-3 and 4% omega-6, supporting skin, coat, and cognitive development.
Digestive support: Inulin (a source of FOS), beet pulp, and yeast enhance gut health and immune function.
Free from common irritants: No gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, added sugars, or artificial additives included.
Cons:
Generic animal protein extract: The inclusion of “animal protein extract” without source specification reduces transparency and confidence in quality.
Lower taurine level for kittens: At 1,000 mg/kg, taurine is present but on the lower end for kitten formulations, where higher levels are typically beneficial.
High carbohydrate proportion: Estimated at 31.6% on a dry matter basis, which is relatively high for a carnivorous species.
No chelated minerals: All minerals are in basic forms like sulfates and oxides, which may have lower bioavailability.
Unavailable DHA listing: While fish and salmon oil are included, no explicit DHA or EPA values are provided.

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.
