The ins and outs of Supplemental Feeding. Now if we could get the others to give the info/data like Bob did we would be way ahead. Time to pressure Purina and Cargill to give us the data in a blind manner (no names or sources revealed) and we are off to the races.

Cecil I have seen some of the peer reviewed papers and agree those are the best source. Problem is the tests don't cover what we need (longer term results with supplemental feeding). At this point I will take any data I can get and sift through it all watching for sales puffery. There are some of us (like you) that can spot the noise and weed it out based on the scientific processes.

My opinion is with supplemental feeding results vary a lot due to the nature and amount of natural forage the fish get. Very difficult to control that factor in any study. How much is natural and how much is due to supplemental feeding varies by pond. But any info is better than no info so we try to gather and learn as much as possible.
