I know we have some animal nutrition majors here, and I just wanted to pick some brains on the topic
The main reason I ask is that in the past, I have personally preferred Standard Formula (where the ingredients are printed on the bag and don't change) food for animals, so that I can expect the same ingredients every time and assess allergen potential.
But I've read a few threads of folks who actually prefer to buy simply the freshest feed possible like many Purina products, where the bag gives minimum % values but has spent the least amount of time on the shelf. In my memory this is called Least Cost Formulation.
Do you have a preference?
