Crude Fiber (max) 1%
Moisture (max) 74%

Dry Matter Protein Content = (19/26) x 100 = 73%

Dry Matter Crude Fat Content = (4/26) x 100 = 15%
Remember, when you are comparing a meat, such as 4 ounces of boneless and skinless rabbit which is extremely low in fat, the protein percentage must come up as the fat percentage comes down.

If you are comparing 4 ounces of boneless and skinless pork, the protein percentage must come down as that percentage differential is replaced by fat.

Lastly, if we are are comparing 4 ounces of bone-in skin-on chicken thigh, both fat and protein will come down as that weight is replaced by bone.
