Why does Flint River Ranch cat food contain corn?
Corn is a nutritionally superior grain compared with others used in pet foods because it contains a balance of nutrients not found in other grains. Corn provides a highly available source of complex carbohydrates and substantial quantities of linoleic acid, an essential omega-6 fatty acid important for healthy skin. Corn also provides essential amino acids and fiber. The corn germ is the inner part of the corn kernel that is rich in Omega 6 fatty acids and Vitamin E. Corn gluten is a protein concentrate that adds moderate protein levels to the diet, but keeps ash and magnesium low. This helps reduce FUS/crystals.
