Ok the whole chicken you just cooked is ready to come out of the oven.Looks great right?Problem is it's 40-50%water.
The definition of chicken meal according to AFFCO(Association of American Feed Control Officials)is the flesh or muscle of a chicken is dryed so that it is only 10% moisture or water.This means that there is the potential to have 90% protein.Chicken meal can come in all different qualities.There can be alot of bone or very little bone.Obliviously the cleaner the chicken the more chicken there is and the more expensive it is.Chicken meal is is such a digestible protein and has a high biodegradable value.What that means is that your dog or cat can use it well to grow muscle,skin,and coat.
Take a good look at your pet after a couple of months feeding them with a holistic pet food that contains chicken meal and not chicken and you will notice the difference.

What are by-products in your pets food?
You would think that the manufacturers of your dogs or cats food would have their best interest at heart but this is not always the case.You may be shocked by some of the ingredients allowed by current pet food regulations.
Read a dog or cat's food label and you may see the words by-product.What is By-Product?Basically this is what's left after meat has been processed for human consumption.Whats left is bones,feet,heads and other unsavory parts.By-products are basically an inferior source of protein and can be difficult to digest.It gets worse.Euthanized animals have been allowed by currrent pet food regulations to become part of some pet food.This is unbelievable.How could this be allowed to happen?
Warning--The following video is very,very shocking.Do not watch this if you have a weak stomach
