Now I know how to figure out the DM of protien and the usual stuff. Which all come out to percentages. But I am having a hard time figuring out DM for vitamins and minerals

" 100 gr raw turkey liver contain ("as fed"):
70.5 gr water
2.48 mg Zinc
0.502 mg Copper
72.4 mcg Selenium
What would these values look like on a "dry matter" basis? The "dry matter" content of the raw turkey liver is obviously 29,5% (100 - 70,5). Results:
100 gr raw turkey liver contain (on a "dry matter" basis):
Zinc = 8.4 mg (2,48 divided by 29,5 multiplied by 100)
Copper = 1.70 mg (0,502 divided by 29,5 multiplied by 100)
Selenium = 245.42 mcg (72,4 divided by 29,5 multiplied by 100)"
Is the 100 in bold the total amount of liver we started with (100g) or is the 100 pertaining to a percentage?
