All the food samples were found to have adequate amount of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and folic acid. The concentration of essential elements in all the analysed samples are within the intake range of cats for their normal growth and development. Although the presence of heavy metals makes some concern about the quality of the food samples, but all these heavy metals are below the toxic level. All the food samples showed the presence of microbial fungi to some extent, but the release of micro-toxin from these fungal species are below the level of their profound health related issues among the cats. Among all the samples analysed the best food samples with very good health quality seems the dry food, followed by pouched food. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol16no3/determination-of-metals-fungi-and-mycotoxins-in-cat-meal-samples-used-in-saudi-arabia/ Essential Elements Heavy Metals Ochratoxin Total aflatoxin Zearalenone
