15. Emeraid® Piscivore
Through the high volume and long-term feedings of emaciated aquatic birds during the Gulf Coast oil spill, we learned the 34% fat in Emeraid Carnivore was too high for some individual animals and some aquatic bird species. This excess fat was passed in the feces, adversely affecting natural water proofing.
The fat content of Emeraid Piscivore is adjustable
Fish oil is added to Emeraid powder in-house
This allows you to vary dietary fat from 5% to 35%
