Revised Gamefish Grow Fish Meal
49.2% protein, 18.2% fat, 20.9% starch, .8% fiber, 10.9% ash
Purina Aquamax Grower 500
41.3% protein, 12% fat, 31.7% starch, 4% fiber, 11% ash
Protein Waste: Gamefish 49.2 x .91 digestible protein = 44.7
49.2 - 44.7 = 4.4% waste
Aquamax 41.3 x .94 digestible protein = 38.8
41.3 - 38.8 = 2.4% waste
All fat is either used for energy or stored
Starch Waste: Gamefish 20.9 - 20 = .9% waste
Aquamax 31.7 - 20 = 11.7% waste
All Fiber is passed Gamefish .8% waste
Aquamax 4% waste
Ash is used at around 7% - 8% Gamefish 10.9 - 7.5 = 3.4% waste
Aquamax 11 - 7.5 = 3.5% waste
Total Waste: Gamefish 9.5% waste Aquamax 21.6% waste
That's better. Waiting on fish meal prices from my local co-op. This formula is closer to the Purina 50% protein food.
Fish Food, do you have a nutrient analysis for the Aquamax or did Purina disclose the % of digestible protein to you? I have contacted them before and I know how stingy they are with specific information. I'm just wondering where your data is coming from, also the digestible value for your Gamefish grow meal.
