Table 1.
Analyzed crude protein, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium concentrations and calculated calcium‐to‐phosphorus ratio in each diet format. Data represented as median (range)
| Crude protein g/1000 kcal ME | Phosphorus g/1000 kcal ME | Calcium g/1000 kcal ME | Calcium‐to‐phosphorus ratio | Magnesium g/1000 kcal ME | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All samples n = 82 | 100.5 (50.3‐172.9) | 3.0 (0.6‐5.1) | 3.9 (0.3‐8.7) | 1.3 (0.5‐1.7) | 0.3 (0.05‐0.5) |
| Dry n = 30 | 95.2 (79.6‐125.3) | 3.1 (1.8‐4.9) | 3.9 (1.8‐7.4) | 1.3 (0.8‐1.6) | 0.3 (0.1‐0.5)a |
| Can n = 30 | 103.4 (50.3‐172.9) | 2.8 (0.6‐5.8) | 3.3 (0.3‐8.7)a | 1.3 (0.5‐1.7) | 0.2 (0.05‐0.49)b |
| Raw n = 22 | 106.2 (64.1‐163.4) | 3.1 (1.2‐5.2) | 4.6 (1.0‐8.2)b | 1.4 (0.8‐1.6) | 0.3 (0.1‐0.5)a |
