* Product Code
1. Based on the latest ingredient analysis information. Since nutrient composition
of natural ingredients varies, analysis will differ accordingly.
2. Nutrients expressed as percent of ration except where otherwise indicated.
Moisture content is assumed to be 10.0% for the purpose of calculations.
3. NDF = approximately cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin.
4. ADF = approximately cellulose and lignin.
5. Physiological Fuel Value (kcal/gm) = Sum of decimal fractions of protein, fat and
carbohydrate (use Nitrogen Free Extract) x 4,9,4 kcal/gm respectively.
