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.

BHT and propyl gallate (preservatives). |
Solubility Test
(what's this?)
Reconstitued very easily and completely,
with no unwetted powder observed. Some flotation was observed upon instant
mix, but not noted after a 4 hour reydration time.

Physical
characteristics The texture of this product was even and
consistent. This resulted in measurement relatively 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) |
5.2 grams /
TBSP (large end of red scoop). |
|
Texture and handling comments |
Very fine in
texture,
easy scooping - evenly and consistently. |
|
Observed measurement variability
(what's this?) |
Scooping
error generally within +/- 1.5%. Low error
-1.9%; High error +3.8%. |
|
Scoop or weigh? |
Scooping will
generally provide a consistent volume, but weighing this product will
produce a more accurate measurement. |
