Nutrient composition of Control and Yeast diets fed to dogs and cats
| Nutrient | Dog | Cat | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Yeast | Control | Yeast | |
| Moisture, % | 5.0 | 5.3 | 7.9 | 6.0 |
| Crude protein, % DM | 30.4 | 30.4 | 32.8 | 33.1 |
| AHF, % DM | 15.9 | 15.3 | 16.3 | 16.9 |
| Crude fiber, % DM | 2.3 | 1.8 | 2.1 | 1.6 |
| Ash, % DM | 8.9 | 10.0 | 8.2 | 8.2 |
| Calcium, % DM | 2.1 | 2.1 | 1.8 | 1.7 |
| Phosphorus, % DM | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 1.1 |
| NFE, % DM | 42.4 | 42.5 | 40.7 | 40.2 |
| GE, kcal/g DM | 4.7 | 5.0 | 5.2 | 5.1 |
| ME, kcal/g DM1 | 3.9 | 3.9 | 4.0 | 4.0 |
1Atwater calculation: ME = 10 × [(3.5 × % protein) + (8.5 × % Fat) + (3.5 × % NFE)].
DM, dry matter; AHF, acid-hydrolyzed fat; NFE, nitrogen-free extract; GE, gross energy; ME, metabolizable energy.
