I’m emailing my grain supplier to ask if they can provide the actual levels. If they don’t know my quail might.Great point! But I have learned to expect mixed opinion over a lot of things in nutrition. To start at the beginning, the particular variety of something can change the values manifold (hundreds of times better in one variety than another, in extreme cases), then there's the growing conditions, the collection and storage of the sample, the lab processes used etc.
And then of course it's not just presence but in what quantity, and how it reacts with what else you or your chickens may be eating with it, including the trillions of microbes in your gut.
And then there's the politics driven by omnivore/vegan campaigns.
