Below is the info off two feed bags. I'll say later what the brands are. I'd like to know what others think of the difference between the two feeds and if they are significant differences.
Feed #1:
Crude protein (min) 14%
Crude fat (min) 2.5%
Crude fiber (max) 15%
Calcium (min-max) .9-1.3%
Phosphorus (min) .4%
Copper (min) 20ppm
Selenium (min) .6ppm
Zinc (min) 100 ppm
Vitamin A (min) 3000 IU/lb
Ingredients:
Processed grain by-products, roughage products, plant protein products, molasses products, calcium carbonate, salt, vitamin E supplement, vitamin B-12 supplement, riboflavin supplement, niacin supplement, calcium pantothenate, vitamin /a supplement, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, clacium iodate, magnesium oxide, cobalt carbonate, ferrous carbonate, vitamin D3 supplement, manganous oxide, sodium selenite. Ruminant meat and bone meal free.
Feed #2:
Crude protein (min) 14%
Crude fat (min) 6%
Crude fiber (max) 12.5%
Calcium (min-max) 1-1.3%
Phosphorus (min) .6%
Copper (min) 80ppm
Selenium (min) .6ppm
Zinc (min) 280 ppm
Vitamin A (min) 3000 IU/lb
Ingredients:
Processed grain by-products, roughage products, forage products, molasses proucts, grain products, soybean oil, calcium carbonate, plant protein products, salt, L-lysine, DL-methionine, vitamin E supplement, iron oxide, choline chloride, copper sulfate, zinc oxide, vitamin B-12 supplement, riboflavin supplement, calcium pantothenate, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, calcium pantothenate, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, calcium iodate, magnesium oxide, cobalt carbonate, vitamin D-3 supplement, ferrous carbonate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite. Ruminant meat and bone meal free.
I highlighted the main differences, but as you can see there are other differences listed in the ingredients section as well. I'm curious to hear from others how important those differences are.
Thanks in advance for your time!
And please excuse any mis-spellings or typos. It was a LOT of tiny reading/typing!
