Proximate Analysis, Minerals and Calories (click here for Midwest Lab report )

The table below indicates the values for test results from Midwest Labs, plus calculated values for components in a formula mixed at a ratio of 1:2 with water using WildAgain's nutrition calculator. The Kcals are calculated using both the standard Atwater calculation as well as the modified Atwater as prescribed by AAFCO.

Physical characteristics

The texture of this product was uneven and inconsistent. This resulted in measurement error described below. (The expected error shown below is equal to 1 standard deviation (statistically 68% of all measurements should fall within this range)).

Texture	Weight/TBSP and measurement variability
	Weight (average)	6.2 grams / TBSP (large end of red scoop).
	Texture and handling comments	Clumpy, scoops unevenly and inconsistently.
	Observed measurement variability (what's this?)	Scooping error generally within +/- 4.0%. Low error -11.3%; High error +11.3%.
	Scoop or weigh?	Weighing (rather than scooping) will produce a more accurate measurement.
