pitluv, what do you consider slightly higher or lower please?
” You should be a looking for a food that has a ca/phos ratio between 1.1:1-1.5:1 and a ca/kcal ratio of 3g/1000kcals. Slightly higher or lower is not bad, but deviating too far from that is going to cause a problem. It is best to use a food with the least energy density during growth.”
The food I am feeding comes out 3.3g/1000, and 1.2:1.0 using the calculator with maximum Ca and P levels per company. Another in rotation is 3.7g/1000 with same ratio.
