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.

Solubility Test
(what's this?)
(Not performed yet.)
Physical
characteristics The texture of this product was
very even and
consistent. This resulted in measurement very low error described below. (The
expected error shown below is equal to 1 standard deviation (statistically
68% of all measurements should fall within this range)).

Weight (average) |
6.4 grams /
TBSP (large end of red scoop). |
|
Texture and handling comments |
Smooth and
very fine in texture,
scoops evenly and consistently. |
|
Observed measurement variability
(what's this?) |
Scooping
error generally within +/- 1.6%. Low error
-3.0%; High error +4.0%. |
|
Scoop or weigh? |
Scooping this
product will likely result in an accurate volume, but weighing will
produce a more accurate measurement. |
Other comments
on this product or lot
|
The test results from
Midwest Labs show the copper level
in this lot is excessively low and could be very problematic for young
wild mammals. Review the
Update for
more information on impacts of copper on young animals and ways
rehabilitators have tried to work around this deficiency, and at the
same time not increase the copper to excess levels. |
