Relative analysis

Forage ingredients are presented in the list on decreasing, depending on the content. As, as it is found already out, meat is necessary for cats, it is necessary to choose a forage where on the first place in the list of ingredients there are sources of an animal protein, such, as the chicken and a flour from a chicken offal, the eanling, a meat-and-bone meal from the eanling, a fish meal, eggs. The given ingredients contain all essential amino acids (such, as a taurine) which do not contain in vegetative sources of a protein, such as a soya and rice flour.

According to various scientific researches, entering into a ration of such ingredients as rice and a sorghum, promotes maintenance of normal level of Saccharum in blood thanks to optimum digestibility and mastering of carbohydrates from these sources. By scientific researches also it is established, that the cellulose of a sugar beet (remained after digestion and Saccharum absorption) is optimum for maintenance of health of a gastrointestinal tract.

To give to a wool softness, shine and silkiness, into a ration should enter omega-6 and omega-3-fat acids in a proper correlation. As a good source of these fat acids chicken Adeps and a fish meal serve.
Quality

Demands to marking of packaging of forages do not allow the sire to reflect completely the information on quality of used ingredients. The sire who cares of the reputation, finds means to give to the consumer the information on procedures of the control, allowing to use only high-quality ingredients for effecting of forages.
The price characteristics

At a choice of a forage the price is important, though is not the best indicator of quality. The low price assumes use of inexpensive raw materials, or forage ingredients vary depending on fluctuations of their market cost. Besides, unlike the super-premium forages placing emphasis on full value and quality of ingredients, the majority of inexpensive forages provide necessary diurnal norm of nutrients (alimentary components) at the expense of augmentation of a daily portion of a forage. Therefore, an objective indicator of the price is feeding cost a day, instead of the packaging price.
