Not all proteins are called high-quality proteins
Strictly speaking, what cats need is high-quality animal protein, which must have the following two characteristics:
1) Containing a complete range of amino acids
Amino acids are the basic units that make up proteins and can be divided into essential and non-essential amino acids. Among them, essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and are mainly obtained from meat.
2) It is easy to digest and absorb high-quality protein, but it cannot be the only one. Is it enough to just give pet cats meat?
The eating habits of pet cats are different from those of wild cats. The latter eats not only protein when eating prey, but also the rich iron, trace elements, folic acid and undigested grains of prey, etc., which intake is relatively balanced.
If the pet owner asks the cat to consume excessive protein for a long time, excessive protein may be converted into fat, causing the cat to be obese. At the same time, a large amount of protein will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys during the decomposition process, which will not affect healthy cats, but it is harmful to cats who have already suffered from liver and kidney diseases or elderly cats.
It is recommended to focus on high-quality animal protein, supplemented by other important nutrient elements such as water, fatty acids and minerals.
Protein intake is different in age. The growth of cats can be divided into three stages, and the nutrition required is also different:
Infant (birth-12 months): the stage of laying the foundation, kittens need to consume a large amount of protein, fat and mineral trace elements to help them grow rapidly.
