[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 567606, member: 6897"] Looks like a typical "Creep" type feed and I guarantee it's not 10% fat....barely 3%. And 22.5% fiber is rediculous. As mentioned earlier it will be "low cost, low quality" roughage....Most feeds no longer list ingredients in descending order reflecting the amount of that ingredient in the feed but in random order really reflecting nothing.... You can bet the calcium is maxed out as it's cheap....Lignin sulfonate is the actual pellet binder included and the molassses product is the carrier for the lignin. Other than that the guarantee does not disclose all that much. Wouldn't even be a legal tag here in Texas.... Everything else is the vitamins and minerals. Feed companies do have to meet certain requirements but if they fail a test they usually simply get a letter and will file it away. I'm sure everyone fails one sooner or latter but cna't imagine a mill giving himself a 7% leeway especially on "fat" which is the most expensive ingredient in the feed. Only source of "oil" I see anywhere is "MINERAL OIL" which is a petroleum based product and has no nutritional value whatsoever. Hope you're not paying much for this. [/QUOTE]
