Adult vs chick food

I'll compare the Purina Layena Brand Sunfresh Recipe Crumbles to the new Custom Breeder Chicken Feed I picked up locally.

vs.

Custom Breeder Chicken Feed
Guaranteed Analysis:

Crude Protein, (Min) 21.00%
Lysine, (Min) 1.10%
Methionine, (Min) 0.45%
Crude Fat, (Min) 4.00%
Crude Fiber, (Max) 6.00%
Calcium, (Min) 2.50%
Calcium, (Max) 3.50%
Phosphorus, (Min) 0.80%
Salt, (Min) 0.10%
Salt, (Max) 0.60%


It appears that the custom breeder has some other ingredients that, from what I've glanced at, the Layena does not -- like Soybean Oil, Mineral Oil, and some acid complexes.
