Marshall Premium is nutritionally complete for all life stages, from kits to adults. Fresh meat, low heat and slow processing allows all of the protein, carbohydrate and fat to present itself in a usable form for the ferret to digest easily and receive maximum nutritional value. A ferret's digestive system is much shorter than a cat's, which results in rapid food passage. A cat's digestion is approximately 5 hours where a ferret's is closer to 2 hours. Because of this, many cat foods don't have ample time to break down in a ferrets system and valuable nutrients are lost.
Ferrets require high amounts of meat protein and fat.
Many ferret and cat diets use meals and grains to substitute for meat-based protein. Ferrets that are fed the Marshall food will normally eat less and receive more nutritional value than other cat and ferret diets.
