Milk will be a good one since there should be lots of information available! Lets go there.

Is there any way to set a poll at the beginning of the thread?!

But for right now lets stick to powdered eggs for a moment.

This source says 1 cup has 176 calories out of 505 being from protein. That about 34%...http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/121/2

This source says dry eggs are about 48% protein by weight... https://www.aeb.org/food-manufacturers/research-resources/nutrient-composition-tables

But 48 g X 4 calories = 184 protein calories out of 592 total is about 32%.

So which is it peeps??? I vote an AVERAGE of 33% protein from fresh eggs.

Thanks I'm on the rode road (autocorrect) today...which means I am stuck on my phone and can't research well from it.
I can't wait to be back in front of my computer again to help here.

I'm sensing a topic of the week brewing here!

If only more people actually cared about these kind of topics.

I still say fresh eggs are 12-13% protein.

Sorry Egg...I agree with these numbers.

Yes fresh as in you crack the and mix it in there feed would be there about 12 to 13 percent protein.

Hi Chris!
Do you have special training when it comes animal feeds or just food knowledge in general?

 

[Kiki]

I'm back on computer!

I think the whole calorie part of the math problem is what @EggSighted4Life is focusing on and I am not sure if the calorie part has anything to do with animal feed.


I just found this:

I have some of both, I did some basic livestock nutrition in school and have done some research on my own.
Why do you ask?

Also I think another thing one needs to think about on this subject is TDN or Total Digestible Nutrition.
How we digest the nutrition of a egg is quite different than how poultry digests the nutrition of a egg.

This testing is done on the hay I buy for my horses.
