Content of test ingredients (fishmeal or freeze-dried salmon filet and beef), and other ingredients contributing with protein, fat and carbohydrates (g/100 g). Total dietary content of fat, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol and energy
*Fishmeal from salmon by-products, salmon filet or beef. Ingredients were freeze-dried, and contributed with 50% of the dietary protein
**Added to adjust for variation in fat content
§Approximate fatty acid distribution in the final diets was estimated from fatty acid content in soybean oil and lard (nutritiondata.self.com) and measured fatty acid levels in freeze-dried fishmeal, salmon or beef
