Hi!
I'm about to switch my kittens from a commercial raw to home made raw so I can better control what's in their food. They are not good at chewing bones so I'm looking for bone alternatives and am interested in MCHA.
Based on the recommendations,
1) For MCHA, 3/4 of a capsule balances one ounce of meat. For cats prone to constipation, 1/2 capsule can be used and still meet the Ca minimum; one capsule balances one ounce of organs.
2) You will want to add about 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium per pound of meat.
One capsule contains 250mg calcium so for the first recommendation 8-12 capsules of MCHA are needed for 1 pound of meat. However, for the second recommendation, only 4-4 4/5 capsules are required per pound of meat. The difference is huge. Am I calculating this wrong? I am a bit confused..... Can someone shed some lights please? Thanks a bunch!
