Benefits of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids for Kittens

Up to about 2 months, kittens feed on mother’s milk, but from the age of 1 month they can be gradually transferred to a special dry food for kittens. The growing body of a kitten needs a huge amount of nutrients, so you need to choose high-quality balanced feed, because. their composition is adapted to the period of rapid growth and development. Essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, which are involved in the composition of such feeds, play a key role for the body. Let’s see what exactly it is.
Omega-3 and omega-6 are a type of polyunsaturated fat, two classes of fatty acids that are not produced by the body on its own and enter it with food. Acids not produced by the body are called essential acids.
