From the manufacturer's information on the packaging, you can see what components dry industrial feeds consist of, so a chicken and rice flavored product includes the following elements:

• chicken meat flour;
• rice;
• corn;
• animal fat (food);
• fish and meat flour;
• sugar beet pulp;
• liver extract (chicken);

Feed "Chicken and Rice" consists of chicken meat flour, rice, corn, fat and other components

The energy value per 100 g of this feed is 380 Kcal.

The nutritional value of the feed is provided by:

• protein (33%);
• fat (16%);
• ash (7.5%);
• fiber (4.5%);
• calcium (1%);
• phosphorus (1%);
• vitamin E - 500 mg / kg;
• taurine 1500 mg / kg;
• vitamin A - 24,000 IU / kg;
• vitamin D3 - 2000 IU / kg;
• moisture (10%).

The manufacturer indicated that the feed contains meat components, their amount is at least 55%, in the protein component of the feed 80% is allocated to animal fats, 20% - to vegetable fats, which come with corn, flaxseeds; rice, wheat. In reality, it turns out that 55% of the total amount of meat belongs to a quality product, and 25% (80–55) is the share of low-quality proteins.

The meat portion of the feed (55%) is not the best component, as the meat meal obtained from the waste provides little benefit to the feline body. In contrast to the products of the Night Hunter brand, the information for high-quality feeds states that they use fresh chicken meat, boneless chicken or other types of meat.

Rice included in the feed is less than other grains and can cause allergies. It supplies the body with protein, fiber, carbohydrates. Next comes corn, it is poorly digested by the feline body and can provoke an allergic reaction. With regard to animal edible fat, nothing is said about whose it is; it is likely that it contains preservatives.

It is not specified what the ingredients are made from in the form of meat and fish flour. These products can be obtained by drying and grinding waste derived from fish or meat. In the case when flour is the result of processing fresh meat, then it is a pretty good component in the composition of the feed.

A by-product of sugar extraction from sugar beet, its pulp or pulp, serves as a natural prebiotic, a source of fiber. However, some cats may have stomach swelling and other digestive problems from consuming it.

The manufacturer did not specify what the liver liver extract was made of. The yeast present in the composition of the feed can provoke an allergic reaction, but a small amount of it improves the condition of the animal's coat. Vitamins and minerals round off the list of feed ingredients. A complete list of them is provided; however, they are not the basis of the feed. The main thing in it should still be nutritious meat products.

Regarding canned food of the "Night Hunter" brand, you can see on the example of beef with meat pieces that the role of ingredients belongs to:

• beef (up to 10%);
• meat, offal;
• cereals;
• vegetable oil;
• minerals, taurine, vitamins of groups A, D, E.

The feed contains 10% beef

The composition given does not indicate what is meant by beef. This ingredient can be obtained from meat, bones, entrails. It is not deciphered what the components consist of: meat, offal, cereals, vitamins. Only 10% of beef is in the feed. This amount is not enough for the feed to acquire nutritional properties due to the high content of animal products.

For animals of prey, which include cats, feed must contain the maximum amount of meat ingredients and the minimum content of cereals

"Night Hunter": pros and cons

Cat owners speak well of this product, noting its positive aspects.

Feed benefits

These include:

disadvantages

They are also available in the feed:

• a high content of cereals in the feed increases the risk of allergies in animals, cats should be introduced into the diet gradually and observe how it will affect their condition and the well-being of animals;
• 50% of the protein that is part of this product is not enough for the normal performance of the feline body (80% is required), so it needs to be increased through other nutrition;
• difficulties with opening cans of canned food, using an additional device for this;
• food containing meat and fish meal is not very good for daily nutrition of cats;
