Bad veterinary advice part 2
3. “Pellets should be 20–25% crude fiber.”
Crude fiber is an outdated, blunt metric. It does not reflect fermentability or gut function. Modern nutrition uses NDF/ADF. You can hit 20% crude fiber and still have a poor gut profile. This is textbook oversimplification.
4. Vegetable list as a core diet component.
This is management advice, not nutritional science. Vegetables contribute water and some micronutrients, but they are inconsistent, low-density, and can destabilize the cecum if overused. The “add one at a time, remove if soft stool” line is reactive because the base recommendation is already unstable.
