Interesting term "wet chemistry," Jim. I had to look that up in my http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_chemistry
The Nutrient Data Laboratory determines the USDA's National Nutrient Database for the "conventional" egg. That's a standard used for public food policy and scientific research.
So, I guess it would be preferable to have 2 groups of otherwise identical hens, one fed the commercial formula and one "pastured."
It seems like one could also say that there's no "standard" commercial formula either and many would need to be tested.
Also, the flocks in the study reported in Mother were of many breeds - more variables.
