The wikipedia article on chicken meal also confirms that nutrients are more concentrated in chicken meal as opposed to chicken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_meal
An article from the Dog Food Project notes that meat meals are more concentrated than meats, and that they can be a good ingredient in kibble provided the quality is high: The Dog Food Project - Meat vs. Meal
So to answer the OP's question, a dog food containing meat meal could potentially be better quality and have more nutrients than dog food containing meat alone. |
Thanks that's what I have read but wanted to confirm with another dog owner on this list.
