Think theres a lot more to consider along with tdn when looking at a good quality balanced ration. Ingredients, fat, fiber source, and most important starch level. Anything over 35% NFC will start to burn guts up and can lead to deer going off feed and worse case death. I would get NFC of all these as well

They’ve been asked for an updated analysis due to rumors that now that they are mass produced, recipe isn’t the same. They refuse to provide it. I’m not a feed guy so I don’t know how often a feed company would test, but I’d guess every few months at least. (Maybe I’m wrong). Instead, they keep providing the 2016 analysis report.
Maybe someone here can answer how often a feed company runs that analysis report.....
I don’t have a dog in this hunt either way, just trying to provide the most accurate information possible. Maybe I should take a collection, buy 10-15 different bags of feed retail, and send all in for testing myself. I guess that would be the only fair and accurate way.Last edited by TXBRASS; 01-01-2019, 05:57 PM.

I’ll be getting a bulk load of DD soon. If I send a sample to Servi-Tech, should I get the Feed Tag test or the Ration test?
I believe it’s called the “Feed Analysis Report”.....

Jason told me the values are minimums and individual test will most likely test higher but the tag has to be "guaranteed analysis".
Great buck Peyton!! That frame is HUGE!

!
Two feeds could both have a 20% protein content and one could have 75% TDN while the other had 50% TDN.... BIG difference there.

I agree, as a customer I expect the same recipe I originally bought. If it’s changed, i want to know.

Squash this DFG or BH??
All everyone wants to see is a recent feed analysis report. From what I’ve heard. Feed companies run them every few weeks. There’s really no reason for them not to provide it when asked...... unless TDN% dropped.
