The cat food analyzed today is called Golden Good Master, and the nutritional commitment value is as follows: Test report: There is also a test report of amino acids: Statistics of the data of the 4 test reports: The data is very good, and the test values ​​are also very good. , all of which meet the standards of high-end cat food. It is necessary to focus on interpreting these data: 1. The ash content is very low. In Standard 2.0, the significance of ash content has been analyzed. Generally speaking, the higher the protein content, the higher the ash content. If the protein content is high but the ash content is not high, either the ingredients are very good or junk ingredients such as plant protein powder are used. Generally speaking, cat food without plant protein ingredients...

The data is very good, and the test values ​​are also very good, all of which meet the standards of high-end cat food. It is necessary to focus on interpreting these data:

1. The ash content is very low. In Standard 2.0, the significance of ash content has been analyzed. Generally speaking, the higher the protein content, the higher the ash content. If the protein content is high but the ash content is not high, either the ingredients are very good or junk ingredients such as plant protein powder are used. Generally speaking, cat food without plant protein ingredients is made of good ingredients if the protein content is >40% and the ash content is <8%.

2. EPA:DHA=1.6≈3:2 EPA and DHA are essentially Omega~3 fatty acids. When EPA:DHA=3:2, it is the best ratio. When Sanpang introduces the preparation of cat rice, he will mention deep-sea fish oil. You can take it out and take a look. Basically, it is EPA:DHA=3:2=1.5.

All are in a 3:2 relationship. After analyzing cat food for so long, this seems to be the first cat food with these two ratios written on it. I have never seen it before. The ratio is written, which at least shows that this issue was taken into consideration when making the formula, implying that this cat food has really studied the nutritional formula.

3. Stability. A total of 4 test reports were obtained, and the deviations in the data were not large, indicating that the quality control was good. According to reports, it is its own factory, and generally the quality control of its own factory will be better. In short, looking at the nutritional data, this is a high-end cat food with good ingredients, and it can also be seen that serious nutritional research has been done.

Ingredients list analysis

< p>The price is so cheap, I thought there would be plant protein, but there wasn’t. There are several interpretations of the ingredient list:

1. The percentage calculation is not correct because the dehydrated chicken has been reduced by moisture. The Ministry of Agriculture actually has regulations that can be written like this. Calculate the proportion of the ingredients when containing water based on 75% moisture reduction:

2. Dehydrated chicken. This one is quite controversial, because no one can clearly tell what dehydrated meat is, and no such ingredients can be found. Sanpang has had a long period of communication with the brand about this issue, and has been trying to figure out the difference between it and meat powder.

After communicating for several days, we probably got this result: because the dehydrated chicken is made by the cooperative factory, the frozen chicken is dried and ground into powder and then used as raw material to be sent to the good master factory, and then together with other ingredients Invested in cat food puffing machine to produce cat food. The essential difference between these dehydrated chicken and chicken is that it has gone through an additional process of drying and grinding into powder. But it is fundamentally different from chicken powder. It is more reliable than chicken powder because chicken powder is usually made from leftovers. Since the factory that dries and pulverizes chicken currently does not belong to Good Owner, when this raw material enters Good Owner's factory, it can only be described as dehydrated chicken. Assuming that the process of drying and grinding into powder is done by the Good Master himself, then theoretically the raw material is chicken when entering the Good Master factory, so it can be written as chicken. Combined with the ash content data in the test report, it should be possible to confirm that this is credible. If it is a cat food made of pure chicken meal with a protein higher than 40%, it will be very difficult to reduce the ash content to 7.7%.

3. There are no beans or any plant protein ingredients. Good reviews. All in all, the ingredients are reliable. I thought the ingredients would be bad because the price was so cheap, but it wasn't. It was really surprising.

Actual proportion of starch

Dehydrated chicken (48%), chicken meal (28%), rice (6%), chicken fat, flour, hydrolyzed chicken liver powder, tuna, Deep sea fish oil (1%), cellulose, yucca powder.

The main sources of carbohydrates are: rice (6%) and flour. The starch content of these two types of ingredients is about 80%. The actual carbohydrate content is about 15%. Therefore, it can be calculated that these two types of ingredients account for approximately 18% of the dry matter of the ingredients. Generally speaking, if this data is lower than 30%, it is considered good, but if it is lower than 20%, it is quite rare.

The actual proportion of meat

The main protein ingredients are:

Dehydrated chicken (48%), chicken meal (28%), hydrolyzed chicken liver Pink, tuna. The dehydrated protein content of these meats is approximately 80%. The actual protein content is 46%. It can then be calculated that these protein ingredients account for approximately 57% of the total ingredient dry matter. To sum up: starchy ingredients account for about 18%. Plant protein ingredients are not available. Protein ingredients account for about 57%. This is reliable data for high-end cat food.

Summary

Golden Good Master cat food is a reliable high-end domestic cat food, both in terms of nutritional data and ingredients. What is extremely rare is that the price is very cheap on the premise that the quality has reached a reliable and high-end level. It is the most cost-effective domestic cat food, bar none. The price/performance ratio is so high that it outshines all other cat foods, and you can’t even find a rival if you pick up a telescope. It can be said that even if the price of this cat food is doubled, the price/performance ratio is still reasonable, and it is still much cheaper than many cat foods of the same grade.

The only problem may be that the ingredient of dehydrated chicken is somewhat controversial. The brand said that the chicken is first dried into powder and then made into cat food. The only difference from chicken is that it is dried one more time. grind to powder. However, combined with the ash content of only 7.7%, it can also be confirmed that the ingredients are not bad. In short, Golden Good Master is a reliable high-end domestic cat food with extremely high cost performance. You can’t find any competing products even if you pick up a telescope.
