Emeraid® Piscivore
 Through the high volume and
long-term feedings of
emaciated aquatic birds during
the Gulf Coast oil spill, we
learned that the 34% fat of
Emeraid Carnivore was too
high for some individuals and
some species. This excess fat
was passed in the feces,
adversely affecting natural
water proofing.
 The fat content of Emeraid
Piscovore is adjustable
 Fish oil is added to Emeraid
powder in-house
 This allows you to vary dietary
fat from 5% to 35%
