廣告訴求特色:
布魯斯獨創 LifeSource® 濃縮能量顆粒
獨創〝LifeSource濃縮能量顆粒〞是由專業獸醫和動物營養師精選豐富的维他命、礦物質
和抗氧化劑精確搭配而成,有助於增强貓咪的免疫系统,滿足其特定年齡階段的需要,並
且保護其免受環境中各種毒素的負面影響。
布魯斯的LifeSource 顆粒跟其他品牌不同的是,LifeSource 濃縮能量顆粒
是由獨創的低温加工技術製成,讓原材料上所有的營養成份能百分百保留,因此效果也是
最佳的。其他品牌生產過程中,全因烤焗過程中的高温使得超過75%的營養成份流失,真
正能保留在食物上的營養成份是很少的。
LifeSource® Bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists.
These include ingredients that have been shown to:
Help maintain a healthy oxidative balance
Help support a cat's healthy immune system
Help promote her specific life stage requirements
Importantly, BLUE LifeSource Bits are "cold-formed" separately from the rest
of our kibble to help preserve the potency of the ingredients. Other brands
that add antioxidants, vitamins and minerals process all of their ingredients
together at temperatures as high as 350°. Heat can degrade the potency of
some vitamins by as much as 75%.
不推的點:
過多穀類/根莖類之植物成份:整粒碎糙米(第三成份),整粒碎大麥(第四成份),
燕麥(第五成份),整粒馬鈴薯,豌豆,全地瓜
容易引起發胖的穀類/植物:整粒碎糙米,整粒碎大麥,燕麥,整粒馬鈴薯,豌豆,全地瓜
碳水化合物很高:Crude Carbs 24.5%
DMB Carbs 27.2%
優於其他有穀飼料之處:
含低溫製成的「濃縮能量顆粒」(LifeSource):比較容易保留其中的維生素礦物質之營養
亦即,雖然Blue Buffalo有穀飼料的碳水化合物很高,
但它所添加的維生素/礦物質/抗氧化劑比其他有穀飼料要來得有活性,
就此點而言,Blue Buffalo的有穀系列跟其他有穀飼料相比,的確有其優勢;
只是此牌目前在台灣的定價不低
Healthy有穀系列的大包價格(最大包15磅)除下來
1公斤單位價至少300~350元,比起無穀飼料如荒野饗宴還要高上幾十元
況且Blue Buffalo Healthy系列本身還是屬於有穀飼料,
碳水化合物含量近30%(幼貓款)或超過30%以上(成貓款)
我覺得他們的特殊訴求似乎並不值得以「每公斤」多這些錢來購買
另外,現在Blue Buffalo有穀系列在台灣的定價就已經是1公斤300元起跳(以大包裝計算)
未來將會上市的無穀系列價格,不可能比有穀的還低
此牌偏高的定價取向,不知道是國外廠商進貨條件太苛刻,還是台灣廠商利潤抓太高?
以成分與其能量顆粒訴求來說,Blue Buffalo不算是非常差的飼料
但Healthy有穀系列只有幼貓款值得一試
我個人覺得大概適合對渴望、荒野饗宴、Now!挑嘴/過敏的貓咪吃吧...
(再貼點錢就可以買go!了 Orz...)
