20% ADDED PROTEIN ENERGY RICH FOR GROWTH

that's only on the jelly kitten pouches NOT on the rest of the range

typical analysis is for kitten
ingredients:
4% meat or meat derivatives, minerals, various sugars -
analysis
protein 10%, oil 4.5%, ash 2.5%, fibre 0.5%, moisture 82%, copper (as copper sulphate = 1.15mg/kg),
vitamins
A-1180 IU/kg, D-145 IU/kg, E-10mg/kg

typical analysis is for adult - same product in the adult range, I've highlighted differences
ingredients:
up to 8% meat or meat derivatives, cereals, minerals, various sugars -
analysis
crude protein 7%, crude oil 4%, crude ash 2%, crude fibre 0.5%, moisture 82%, no copper sulphate
vitamins
A-1110 IU/kg, D-140 IU/kg, E-10mg/kg

haven't got a clue what the crude bit is all about - the vits are very slightly lower, and it has no copper sulphate (but I don't know what that does) - other than that very, very similar.

the seniour is very similar but the vitamin levels are almost double.

Not sure now they get the kitten protein level higher than the adult when they use half the amount of real meat but that might be what the crude bit is about. And the kitten must have cereal in it too or it doesn't make sense - the other 96% of the food surely can't all be sugars!!!
