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?)
This lot produced late in 2009 showed much
improved solubility, with full reconstitution apparent after a 4 hour
hydration period. See notes below for further information.
 |
 |
|
Figure 1. This lot did not fully
rehydrate when used as an instant mix, with unwetted powder forming a
cap at the top of the cylinder. The product did appear to be fully
hydrated after 4 hours, with no unwetted powder observed at the top of
the cylinder. |
Figure 2. The residue was
actually very creamy in texture, with few unwetted powder particles
observed. |
Physical
characteristics The texture of this product was
very 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)).

Weight (average) |
6.7 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 +/- 3.9%. Low error
-6.1%; High error +7.6%. |
|
Scoop or weigh? |
Weighing
(rather than scooping) will produce a more accurate measurement. |
