Protein Quality Index
This index evaluates protein source quality, clarity, and bioavailability rather than the crude protein percentage on the label. A lower result may indicate greater reliance on cereals, by-products, or plant concentrates, so it should be read together with the overall VetKriter score and the product's intended use.
Academic Assessment
The first ingredient (water sufficient for processing) could not be clearly classified. However, some negative factors were detected in the ingredient profile. Overall protein quality class: B (55/100).
