Summary
Ultima Adult with Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, offering a balanced nutritional profile suitable for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
The first ingredient is chicken, including bone, meat, and skin, which provides a high-quality animal protein source essential for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting overall vitality in adult cats.
With a crude protein content of 34% and fat at 14%, the formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile that supports energy needs and muscle maintenance without excessive fat accumulation.
Omega-6 fatty acids at 2.6%, along with biotin and zinc, contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat by supporting the skin barrier and promoting keratin production.
The inclusion of hydrolyzed animal proteins enhances palatability and digestibility, making the food more appealing and easier to digest for cats with sensitive digestive systems.
Dehydrated peas and whole grains, such as wheat, barley, and maize, provide digestible carbohydrates and dietary fiber, supporting gastrointestinal health and promoting regular bowel movements.
Vitamins A, D3, and E, along with trace minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, support immune function, vision, and antioxidant defense mechanisms.
Ammonium chloride is included to help regulate urinary pH, which may assist in reducing the risk of urinary crystal formation.
The product contains no added sugars, artificial colorants, or preservatives, aligning with a cleaner-label approach to feline nutrition.
With a metabolizable energy of 3759 kcal/kg, it offers a moderate energy density appropriate for maintaining healthy body weight in active adult cats.

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.
