Formula Comparison 2019
I continue to study the 2019 Esbilac problems.
During those studies I have found some interesting data that I am going to share. The first is a comparison of different formula based on Metabolizable Energy (ME). This is the definition of Metabolizable Energy.
This is a spread sheet of different formula based on the kcal/kg.
Some of these formula we use and some that we should never use but I have included them as a comparison.
While this data does not explain the 2019 issues with Esbilac, it does point out just how deficient Esbilac is compared to other wildlife formula or even a higher quality puppy formula. I’m actually surprised that Esbilac has worked so well for us in the past. I think Esbilac sits on a ‘delicate edge’ between success and failure and even a small nutritional anomaly sends it crashing into the abyss of failure. Don’t get me wrong, whatever is ‘wrong’ with Esbilac 2019 is major but I personally think it takes less than we think to make it fail.
