Most of the poultry feed charts recommend slightly higher protein than I recommend. I prefer they do not grow so fast for longer-living with stronger leg bones/tendons, thus lower protein. This is definitely required for the heavy-set breeds like dewlap toulouse, who are prone to leg problems. High protein and heavy grain diets also cause angelwing problems in young birds, so that is another concern.

That chart isn’t a strict rule. Metzer’s is better IMO. Further; that’s minimums, not maximums.

This chart is pulled from a book that feed companies use to formulate their feeds.

Feed companies and their ilk also calculate how much ash is ok for filler in dog food. Heh.
