I have red somewhere that over 27 % protein of kibble is not good for rottweiler puppy but some breeders told that is the best food for him.These are the ingrediants: Dehydrated poultry meat, rice, vegetable protein isolate*, maize, animal fats, hydrolysed animal proteins, beet pulp, minerals, soya oil, fish oil, yeasts, fructo-oligo-saccharides, psyllium husks and seeds, L-lysine, yeast extract (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), DL-methionine, egg powder, taurine, hydrolysed crustaceans (source of glucosamine), L-carnitine, hydrolysed cartilage (source of chondroitin), marigold extract (source of lutein). analyses ; calcium 1.0 % fat 14.0 % magnesium 0.08 % omega-3 fats 0.7 % phosphorus 0.85 % protein 34.0 % starch 30.2 % ash 7.3 % calories that can be burned 4036.0 kcal fiber 1.3 % moisture 8.0 % omega-6 fats 3.0 % potassium 0.6 % sodium 0.4 % I dont have to much choice from the dry foods here we have:Belcando,Royal canin,Sport mix, Purina pro plan, Brit care which is czech food, pro pac, natural trainer,Eukanuba. what should i do ?What type of protein has royal canin or you think its better to change to some of these foods.Which of these food would you recomend me?

A human is an omnivore, therefore capable of absorbing much more variety of proteins. Dogs are carnivores and need a meat based protein, while sheep require a plant based protein because they are herbivores. Different species of dogs break down proteins in basically the same way. A chihuahua eating the same food as a great dane will digest the proteins similarly. However, a chihuahua needs more energy per pound because of it's internal workings. That is why you will find some more focused foods to have different GA values even though the protein, lipids, and carbs are the same. As in, the ingredient listings will be in a different order to obtain the correct ratio. Carlo, the answer is most definitely yes to your question.

I'm unable to find reliable information about whether or not biological value is species specific. But based upon the fact that BV is related to the "usability" of a protein and because that usability would vary from species to species... I tend to believe the answer to your question is yes. As to where to find a list of BV values for dogs, my previous article "<a href="http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/choosing-dog-food/judging-protein-quality/" rel="nofollow">Judging the Quality of a Dog Food's Protein</a>" includes a short list I took from Liz Palika's book (see the footnote on that page). Thanks for the interesting question. Hi Carlo… I’m unable to find reliable information about whether or not biological value is species specific.

In other words the same 100 gr of corn may be digested differently by a man, dog or sheep.If so where may I find a table showing the correct BV values for dogs? Thank you Hello,
