Grain-free cat food is now very popular. They include the maximum number of elements that animals receive when living in the wild.
Features of grain-free feed
Grain-free food gives pets a lot of energy and also keeps them in shape. This product is based on the idea that a cat's diet should be rich in foods that contain meat.
The amount of meat that is contained in grain-free feed is up to 80% of the total composition. In conventional feed, this figure reaches a maximum of 60%.
The high meat content adds more protein to the pet's diet and also reduces the amount of carbohydrates. This contributes to good digestibility.
By their nature, cats are not herbivores, so protein is the main source of energy. In addition, this substance has a beneficial effect on the kidneys of animals.
Due to the absence of cereals in this type of feed, the amount of Omega-6 is reduced. And due to the high content of meat, the Omega-3 index increases. Therefore, these two types of acids are optimally correlated with each other, therefore, in animals, muscle mass increases, and fat mass decreases.
A grain-free diet is not suitable for all animals. It is mainly intended for active animals, as well as for cats that spend most of their time outdoors, for example, living in a country house. In other cases, such a diet can lead to obesity.
