As Fed (AF) to Dry Matter (DM) Conversion Example:
Deduct the moisture from 100 to get your dry matter content: 100-11= 89, & move decimal=.89
Divide the remaining nutrients by .89 to get their crude DM values
As Fed from the Guaranteed Analysis on a sample bag converted DM figures
Crude Protein 28% Protein is 31.4
Crude Fat 16% Fat is 17.9
Crude Fiber 7% Fiber is 7.86
Moisture 11% Moisture 0
*notice there’s no GA analysis for carbs? This is because there’s no known need for them in cats & dogs…yet invariable the processed diet is made up of A LOT OF carbs.
Figuring Carbohydrate Value
Deduct what you know from the whole of 100%, not including fiber will be automatically accounted for in the carbohydrate value.
As Fed from the Guaranteed Analysis on a sample bag converted DM figures
Crude Protein 28% Protein is 31.4
Crude Fat 16% Fat is 17.9
Crude Fiber 7% Fiber is 7.86
Moisture 11% Moisture 0
Carb is 100-28-16-11= 45% and on a DM basis Carb is 50.7%
Note: A dog’s kibble diet should be no more than 30% carbs and canned no more than 7.5% carbs
Note :A cat’s kibble diet should be no more than 15% carbs and canned no more than 2.8% carbs
