Explanation of Laboratory Analysis

Moisture	12% enables treats to have a long shelf life
Crude Protein	in the middle range
Crude Fat	acceptable level, anything above 6% is too high
Crude Fibre	the lower the fibre the higher the digestibility
Calcium	.07%
Ash	in the middle range
Phosphorus	in the middle range
Potassium	in the middle range
Magnesium	normal
Sodium	low percentage is good
Salt	.10% is a good level
NFE	carbohydrates, starches, sugars: natural levels in the ingredients
GE	gross energy
ME	energy, minus urine & fecal loss
NEF	energy, after heat, urine & fecal loss
DE	calories; energy from feed. A high count is 3.8-4.1%
TDN	percent absorbed & used by the metabolism

Shelf Life: Due to the addition of apple juice, the extra citric acid is a natural preservative; therefore, the shelf life is a minimum of 6 months. After this period, the treat is a bit drier in moisture content and lighter in colour.
