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.

|
Primary ingredients |
Vegetable oil (preserved with BHA, BHT, propyl gallate
and citric acid), dried skimmed milk, casein, egg yolk. |
|
Secondary ingredients |
DL-Methionine,
calcium carbonate precipitated, potassium phosphate monobasic,
lecithin, dried corn syrup, calcium hydroxide, salt, monocalcium
phosphate, sodium hydroxide, choline chloride, potassium chloride,
silicon dioxide, magnesium carbonate, taurine, magnesium sulfate,
vitamin A supplement, zinc sulfate, vitamin E supplement, ferrous
sulfate, niacin supplement, copper sulfate, calcium pantothenate,
vitamin B-12 supplement, manganese sulfate, vitamin D-3 supplement,
folic acid, riboflavin, thiamine mononitrate, calcium iodate,

Solubility Test
(what's this?)
Test not yet performed.
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)).

Weight (average) |
6.8 grams /
TBSP (large end of red scoop). |
|
Texture and handling comments |
Somewhat
clumpy in texture,
scoops somewhat unevenly and inconsistently. |
|
Observed measurement variability
(what's this?) |
Scooping
error generally within +/- 5.0%. Low error
-18.0%; High error +7.0%. |
|
Scoop or weigh? |
Weighing this
product (rather than scooping) will produce a more accurate
measurement. |
