Why should kittens eat NUTRIENCE TRANSITION KITTEN WEANING?

Chicken meal, hydrolysed chicken and dried egg product, all high quality sources of protein (cats are obligate carnivores).
Chicken fat: a high quality source of linoleic and arachidonic essential unsaturated fatty acids, which promotes well-conditioned skin and a shiny coat.
Lecithin: provides a high level of linoleic Omega 6 essential fatty acids and contributes to fat digestion.
Optimal levels of magnesium and urine acidifiers, which help prevent the development of calculi (stones) in the bladder.
M.O.S. (Mannanoligosaccharides) helps prevent the colonization of pathogenic bacteria from binding onto the gut walls.
F.O.S. (Fructo-oligosaccharides) exclusive nutrient source for "good" bacteria, in association with M.O.S., produces a synergetic effect favouring healthy intestinal microflora.
Contains chelated minerals for optimum assimilation of certain special mineral compounds.
A special mix of herbs is added for optimum performance.
Yucca schidigera lowers the production of ammonia in the stool and decreases offensive odours.
Im3: Immune Complex, which includes Ig, microencapsulated ingredients and antioxidants, provides a resilient immune defence system for the young animal.
Vitamin C added for extra immune support.
