OK. Reddish orange? :lol3:
Very FUNNY, something Perla would pull too. Just leave it there OR in Perla's case run from it :dash:
A recipe made with Alnutrin won't be deficient in manganese as per AAFCO recommendations because it includes manganese.Laurie, back to your post #729 (it's a long post...didn't want to take the space and copy the entire thing), since you couldn't come up with any scenario that wasn't short on manganese, doesn't that kind of mean that anyone feeding Frankenprey is in the same boat? Or feeding any homemade (including Hare-Today with Alnutrin) unless they are adding manganese to their recipe? Wonder why Alnutrin doesn't have enough manganese? I mean, your diet (for the "kids") is so varied, I can't imagine it is something lacking n the proteins you serve. So this has been got me questioning whether or not my "kids" are getting what they need, as well as everyone elses, unless they are using Dr. Pierson's recipe or something.
A recipe made with Alnutrin won't be deficient in manganese as per AAFCO recommendations because it includes manganese. I'm not sure this makes me feel any better, because I don't really trust the AAFCO, but guess right now I'll have to go with it, or else make Laurie's formula ...I should probably just do that since she was nice enough to provide it to us!Laurie, back to your post #729 (it's a long post...didn't want to take the space and copy the entire thing), since you couldn't come up with any scenario that wasn't short on manganese, doesn't that kind of mean that anyone feeding Frankenprey is in the same boat?

The typical Frankenprey diet is deficient in manganese based on AAFCO recommendations. But, if memory serves, that recommendation isn't based on studies that definitively determine the amount of manganese needed in the feline diet Well, that's ambiguous, isn't it! Now I'm thinking maybe I'm happy afterall that my little beasties aren't liking those strips of meat I've been trying to get them to eat
Uh, you do realize Laurie used the AAFCO recommendations as the basis of her formula don't you??A recipe made with Alnutrin won't be deficient in manganese as per AAFCO recommendations because it includes manganese.

No doubt some people are going to be happy just assuming there is no manganese deficiency despite there being evidence, albeit inconclusive, that suggests otherwise. I'm not one of them.The typical Frankenprey diet is deficient in manganese based on AAFCO recommendations.

I feed homemade raw ground with chunks, but you are so right! I've never seen a transformation like this! People are always amazed at my cats' eyes and coats.Thanks for answering, LDG. OK, I won't worry about it. You're not kidding when you say the diet is superior. They haven't even been here a week, and we've seen improvements in their energy levels and so much satisfaction at meal times. Too bad more people don't think about what they're feeding their pets.
In my house that's the caseOK, got another question. I'm guessing Krill Oil would substitute for sardines. Would Egg Yolk Lecithin substitute for egg yolks? (for those pickies who won't eat either sardine or egg yolks!)
Just curious
I feed mine ground food 4x a week so I can get egg yolks in the ones that don't like them. Basically, they get 1/4 of a egg yolk via the ground meal, so they get one egg yolk a week. I do offer 1/2 a yolk 2x a week to them all, some eat some of it, some eat all of it, some don't eat any of it. But I mix it with a little water so it's not as sticky, and put a topper on it, and that seems to help.OK, got another question. I'm guessing Krill Oil would substitute for sardines.
