Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert to a dry matter basis?
Foods with different moisture contents cannot be fairly compared using their as-fed nutrient percentages alone, since a wetter product dilutes every nutrient percentage. Converting to a dry matter basis removes moisture from the comparison.
Where do I find the as-fed percentage and moisture content?
Both figures are normally printed on a guaranteed analysis label, commonly found on pet food, animal feed, and some human food packaging.
Can this be used for any nutrient, not just protein?
Yes, the same as-fed to dry matter conversion applies to any nutrient percentage listed on a guaranteed analysis label, including fat, fiber, and ash.
