  • Lean and widely tolerated

  • Consistent digestibility

• Turkey

  • Gentle on stomach

Moderate Digestibility

• Lamb

• Duck

• Beef (varies by processing)

Lower Digestibility Sources

• Plant proteins

• Protein concentrates

• By-product blends

• Over-rendered meals

Why Digestibility Matters

• Better stool quality

• Higher nutrient uptake
