\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> When buying meat and bone meal, compare protein (commonly 45% or 50%), fat, ash, calcium and phosphorus, and ask for salmonella and heat-treatment confirmation. Price depends on protein grade, ash level, freshness and supply from rendering plants. Always confirm the meal is permitted for your intended animals and market.<\/p>\n
