Can I get some help with some nutrient profile conversions? I am never confident that I did it right using the calculators.
Trying to get them converted to the same 'speak' as on Dr. Lisa's chart...ie: ME breakdowns for protein/carb/fat.
I realized they had not included the phosphorous values and followed up but they never got back to me. Can we do this without them?
They also did not include calories, so what you see listed is what I added for those taken from the GA info. on the site. (ie: likely not As-Fed)
The rest of the info was supplied by them.

The first 4 are canned.
Last once is dry.

AsFed Calorie Percent

Chicken:
Protein – %32.96
Fat – %63.91
Carbs – %3.13
CALORIE CONTENT (calculated) ME 999 kcal/kg 369.6 kcal/can (off GA-added by me)

Cod:
Protein – %39.18
Fat – %55.50
Carbs – %5.32
CALORIE CONTENT (calculated) ME 1160 kcal/kg 98.6 kcal/can (off GA-added by me)

Rabbit:
Protein – %51.13
Fat – %48.07
Carbs – %0.80
CALORIE CONTENT (calculated) ME 1016 kcal/kg 86.3 kcal/can (off GA-added by me)

Beef:
Protein – %35.21
Fat – %50.30
Carbs – %0.80
Cow: CALORIE CONTENT (calculated) ME 1250 kcal/kg 106.2 kcal/can (off GA-added by me)

* Moisture content on GA chart shows 'MAX' of 78% for beef, rabbit, cod...... 'Max' -82% chicken


Dry Kibble - Poultry
Protein – %39.56
Fat – %39.31
Carbs – %21.13

Calorie Content (calculated): 3,552 kcal/kg (371.7 kcal/cup) (off GA-added by me)
GA- moisture (max) 10.0%


Do we need anything else?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
 
oh snark..i just wrote and lost my reply when Mozilla crashed.


SO short version....


Really, these are already converted? I thought they needed another step...no wonder I was having trouble..;-)
Maybe just used to seeing them even/rounded (up?) on the charts.

I did see that most (not the beef) add to 100 as you said..maybe the beef was a typo when they sent it? I'll double check that one since it isn't adding up.
SO consensus is these are correct?

ie: read the: chicken as 33/64/3?
cod 39/56/5
etc...

If so, should be low carb good options to feed. (with exception of the kibble- of course now low enough)
cool.
 
Update:

I was still missing some information and questioning some of what I'd gotten so contacted them back to discover that the CS guy had contacted THEIR manufacturer and in turn was sent a calculator to which he had input GA vs As-fed for some of the values (I think this is what he was instructed) and without some of the other values for fiber, using GA moisture, etc..SO, I have sent him links and specified again that we need TYPICAL or ACTUAL only. He has contacted them back again with those clarifications. I am waiting for the updated info.
