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 yet performed.
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/TBSP and measurement
variability |
 |
Weight (average) |
5.9 grams /
TBSP (large end of red scoop). |
|
Texture and handling comments |
Very clumpy
in texture,
difficult scooping - unevenly and inconsistently. |
|
Observed measurement variability
(what's this?) |
Scooping
error generally within +/- 2.2%. Low error
-8.0%; High error +4.0%. |
|
Scoop or weigh? |
Weighing this
product (rather than scooping) will produce a more accurate
measurement. |
