Hi Reese,

In regards to the diet, the company reports 1075.2mg Ca/25 grams = 4301mg Ca/100 grams food.

We also know that in 100 grams of food there are 412 kcals. Putting that together 4301 mg Ca in 412 kcals of food. Nutrients are usually reported as amount /1000 kcals. In this case there are 10,438 mg/1000kcals of 10.43 grams Ca/1000 kcals.

AAFCO Max Ca is 6.25/1000kcals.
