Chicken meal is a high quality protein source that contains muscle meat as well as a small percentage of bone. The bone fraction contains rich sources of calcium and phosphorus. By law it may not contain heads, feet or intestines. Chicken by-product meal contains a variety of chicken "parts" including heads, feet and intestines. The only part of the chicken which cannot be included in chicken by-product meal is feathers.

The raw material for our chicken meal comes from USDA plants - the same source as our chicken. The chicken meal is made at a plant exclusively dedicated to processing chicken meal only. The word that precedes the word ''meal'' is most important as well as the quality of the production facility. If it says ''chicken'' or ''menhaden fish'' before the word ''meal'' you can be sure that the meal is made from muscle tissue from that specific source. See similar questions...

A great deal. Bone meal is heat-processed and produced from the bones of mature animals. The older the animal, the more time available for environmental contaminants such as lead to accumulate. MCHC is processed at -50 degrees Centigrade from young animals (veal) to preserve the delicate protein matrix and organic factors. (Studies have shown that when these organic factors are destroyed through heat processing, the benefits of MCHC are lost). See similar questions...

This does not mean the lesions need to have gone away or fallen off, just crusted over. See similar questions...
