*
This upper limit should be applied when methionine is supplemented.

The USDA nutrient database has only limited data for choline.
1
Your recipe nutrient profile per dry matter (DM). Presumes an energy density of 4 kcal metabolizable
energy (ME) /g dry matter. Rations with energy densities greater then 4.5 kcal/g will be corrected for
energy density. Rations with energy densities less then 4 kcal/g will not be corrected for energy density.
a
AAFCO nutrient profile: minimum nutrient allowances for adult cats per dry matter (DM). Presumes an energy
density of 4 kcal/g ME.
b
Although a true requirement for fat has not been established, the minimum level was based on
recognition of fat as a source of essential fatty acids, as a carrier of fat-soluble vitamins, to enhance
palatability, and to supply an adequate caloric density.
c
If the mean urine pH of cats fed free choice is not below 6.4, the risk of struvite urolithiasis increases
as the magnesium content of the diet increases.
d
Because of very poor bioavailability, iron from carbonate or oxide sources that are added to the diet
should not be considered as components in meeting the minimum nutrient level.
e
Because of very poor bioavailability, copper from oxide sources that are added to the diet should
not be considered as components in meeting the minimum nutrient level.
f
Add 10 IU vitamin E above minimum level per gram of fish oil per kilogram of diet.
g
Vitamin K does not need to be added unless diet contains greater than 25 percent fish on a dry matter basis.
h
Because processing may destroy up to 90 percent of the thiamine in the diet, allowance in formulation
should be made to ensure the minimum nutrient level is met after processing.
i
Bi
otin does not need to be added unless diet contains antimicrobial or antivitamin
compounds.
J
Methionine may
substitute choline as methyl donor
at a rate of 3.75 parts for 1 part choline by weight
when methionine exceeds 0.62%.
k
Zinc - maximum level of intake is 2 000 mg/kg DM.
L
Vitamin A - maximum level of intake is 750 000 IU/kg DM.
m
Vitamin D - maximum level of intake is 10 000 IU/kg DM.
n
Methionine - maximum level of intake is 1.5 % DM
p
Due to lack of data all these values come from supplement only (in reality might be higher).
