Myth or factual?

[muddoc]

Rodent Pro has the charts posted from a 2002 USDA study of the Nutrient Composition of Whole Vertebrate Prey Fed in Zoos, in which Protien, Fat, Calorie/Gram, Vitamin, and Mineral content is listed.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture report can be viewed here in PDF.

Hope this helps...

Thanks a bunch. I have actually seen the USDoA report before, but am always looking for other info. I will definitely look at the rodentpro stuff. My main point of my post was thet we hear this generalization often in the industry, but very little data is ever presented with the theory.
