Expert Summary
Feed Wise considers this a very strong option in its category for Big Country Raw, Pure Turkey Carton, 4 lb, a frozen raw formula with a short, limited ingredient panel led by fresh named meat. No nutritional adequacy statement is on record, so it is best used as part of a balanced feeding plan or rotation rather than as the sole diet. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the label declares 20% crude protein.

Carbohydrate and Plant Load
15 / 15- Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
- Pulse ingredients detected: none
- Plant protein concentrates: none
- Ingredient splitting: not detected
Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.
- NOT SCORED
Carbohydrate burden
Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.
- +8 / 8
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as VERY LOW. No grains, pulses, starches or concentrated plant proteins in the ingredient panel.
