As-Fed to 1000/kcal Nutrient Calculator For Pet Food
Enter guaranteed analysis values from your pet food label to convert nutrients from as-fed basis to per 1,000 kcal — the standardized format used for comparing foods and assessing AAFCO compliance.
Food details
Found on your food’s packaging or manufacturer’s website. Common values: dry kibble ≈ 3,200–4,500 · wet/canned ≈ 700–1,200 · fresh/cooked ≈ 900–1,200 · raw ≈ 1,200–2,000
Proximate nutrients (%, as fed)
Minerals (%, as fed)
Taurine (as fed)
Nutrients per 1,000 kcal
| Nutrient | As fed (%) | Per 1,000 kcal |
|---|
Formula used: (nutrient % ÷ 100) × 1,000,000 ÷ kcal/kg = g per 1,000 kcal. Taurine: mg/kg ÷ kcal/kg × 1,000 = mg per 1,000 kcal. Only nutrients with values entered are shown in results. Results are for reference only and should be interpreted alongside current AAFCO minimum and maximum nutrient profiles for the intended species and life stage.
Need help interpreting these values against AAFCO profiles or NRC recommendations? I offer formulation audits and compliance reviews for pet food brands and home-cooked diets.
