I bought a fresh bag of AQ500 today, and when I went to feed this evening something looked different. The new feed was darker, smelled different,and the pellets looked slightly larger, and had a "coarser" texture to it. The HBG seemed to eat it much the same as they always have, so I didn't think too much about it.
I always hydrate the feed for the other ponds, and when I went to feed those I noticed that the pre-soaked feed was noticeably bigger.... it always swells when wet, but this was bigger than normal.
When I returned home I compared the tag off of the bag I picked up this morning, with the tags from my last four bags....yes, I keep them...you never know...
The list of ingredients, as well as the guaranteed analysis, was exactly the same on the four older bags, but the new one was different. Crude protein has always been 41%, the new feed shows 41.3%.
Crude fat min. was always 12%, now it's decreased to 10.7%. Calcium has increased, along with ash. Sodium has decreased.
The first ingredient on AQ500 has been fish meal, as long as I've been paying attention anyway....now it's ground corn??
Anybody else notice a difference?
