Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 34.8%; 32.0% to 33.1% in the others
Salmon oil: 4%; A smaller amount in the others

The only recipe with no land animal in it at all.

Every recipe is built on one named animal, used as a dried and hydrolysed concentrate and as fresh meat. Potato does the binding, with peas helping in the lamb, and there is no cereal. Salmon oil runs through all four, and blossoms and herbs close every list at trace level.

Carbohydrate converts to between 32.0% and 34.8% of dry matter and protein to between 33.7% and 37.0%.
